Abstract

In the past year, new laws criminalizing same-sex conduct and the promotion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights have emerged as barriers to addressing the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). An augmented approach to addressing HIV within the region's disproportionately affected LGBTQ populations, particularly transgender women and gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), is imperative for achieving the international goal of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030. In this article, we present recommendations to bolster the continuum of HIV care for MSM and transgender women in SSA.

在撒哈拉以南非洲消除对高危性少数群体和性别少数群体的污名化。
在过去的一年中,将同性行为定为刑事犯罪的新法律以及促进女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和同性恋者(LGBTQ)权利的工作已成为撒哈拉以南非洲地区(SSA)应对艾滋病毒疫情的障碍。为了实现到 2030 年终结艾滋病毒流行的国际目标,必须采取强化措施,解决该地区受影响尤为严重的 LGBTQ 群体(尤其是变性妇女和男同性恋、双性恋及其他男男性行为者 (MSM))的艾滋病毒问题。在本文中,我们将提出建议,以加强对撒哈拉以南非洲地区男男性行为者和变性妇女的持续性艾滋病关怀。

期刊介绍: LGBT Health is the premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting optimal healthcare for millions of sexual and gender minority persons worldwide by focusing specifically on health while maintaining sufficient breadth to encompass the full range of relevant biopsychosocial and health policy issues. This Journal aims to promote greater awareness of the health concerns particular to each sexual minority population, and to improve availability and delivery of culturally appropriate healthcare services. LGBT Health also encourages further research and increased funding in this critical but currently underserved domain. The Journal provides a much-needed authoritative source and international forum in all areas pertinent to LGBT health and healthcare services. Contributions from all continents are solicited including Asia and Africa which are currently underrepresented in sex research.
