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 (n=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.
尽管艾滋病毒在变性女性（TGW）中很普遍，但在了解艾滋病毒相关污名（HRS）对感染艾滋病毒的变性女性的影响方面仍存在差距。这是一项小型横断面试点研究，研究对象是佛罗里达州迈阿密市的变性女性艾滋病感染者（18 人），她们在艾滋病临床就诊期间填写了一份调查问卷。与之前的研究相比，研究结果表明，HRS 水平较低，并表明对感染 HIV 的 TGW 的接受度可能会提高，这也是导致 HIV 感染的一个因素。还需要进行更大规模的研究，以探讨HRS的潜在因素，从而进一步减少感染艾滋病毒的女性同性恋者的耻辱感。
期刊介绍：
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
