Getting pre-exposure prophylaxis to high-risk transgender women: lessons from Detroit, USA.

Unlabelled: Background Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective HIV prevention strategy, but it is unclear how best to deliver PrEP to key populations. Drawing upon a cross-sectional survey of transgender women (TW) in Detroit, USA, and experience of a PrEP clinic that serves this population, this manuscript describes the following: (1) the risk profile of Detroit TW; (2) the proportion of TW with at least one PrEP indication; and (3) perceptions of and experiences with PrEP among TW in Detroit.

Methods: Between August 2017 and March 2018, 126 TW completed an online PrEP survey.
