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。
