Introduction: Global disparities in HIV prevalence among transgender women are well documented. However, current epidemiological literature on HIV disparities demonstrates gaps in research that include the diversity within transgender populations-for example, transgender men and non-binary trans people across global regions. This systematic review and meta-analysis protocol aims to summarise global HIV inequities among all transgender and non-binary (trans) populations.

This study sought to identify patterns of HAD and examine associations between HAD and 5 behavioral health outcomes among trans adults: depression, anxiety, tobacco and alcohol use, and intimate partner violence (IPV).
Methods: This study used survey data collected in 2023 from 789 trans adults in Washington state.
Purpose: This study sought to better understand primary care providers' (PCPs) readiness to conduct population-based risk assessment and offer genetic testing for hereditary cancer.
Methods: Sixty PCPs completed a survey assessing their current practices, attitudes, and confidence with cancer risk assessment and testing. Sixteen participated in follow-up interviews.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates trans-inclusive educational programming at U.S. medical and public health schools by collecting survey responses from deans and administrators.
- Data collection occurred between December 2019 and February 2020, targeting social and structural aspects of programming, with a focus on training, events, admissions, and policies.
- Results showed significant differences in trans-inclusive strategies between medical and public health schools, highlighting the need for stronger policies to support trans inclusion, such as mentorship and using students' preferred names and pronouns.
Article Synopsis
- Combining support for transgender and nonbinary people with HIV prevention methods might help reduce their higher risk of HIV.
- A study with 366 trans adults asked them what factors are most important when choosing to use a specific HIV prevention shot called LA-PrEP.
- The results showed that trans adults prefer receiving LA-PrEP from a provider who understands their gender needs, wants both oral and injection hormones, and likes the idea of getting a shot in their arm for a whole year of protection.
