AI Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of HIV-related stigma on transgender women (TGW) living with HIV in Miami, FL, highlighting a gap in current understanding.
- In a small survey conducted during HIV clinical visits, findings revealed low levels of HIV-related stigma among the TGW participants, differing from earlier studies.
- The research suggests increased acceptance of TGW with HIV may be a reason for this low stigma and emphasizes the need for larger studies to better understand and reduce stigma.
Article Abstract
Despite the prevalence of HIV among transgender women (TGW), gaps exist in understanding the impact of HIV-related stigma (HRS) on TGW with HIV. This is a small cross-sectional pilot study examining HRS in TGW (=18) with HIV in Miami, FL, who completed a survey during an HIV clinical visit. In contrast with previous studies, results demonstrated low levels of HRS and suggest the potential of increasing acceptance of TGW with HIV as a contributing factor. Larger studies are needed to explore factors underlying HRS with the aim of further reducing stigma among TGW with HIV.
