AbstractBackground: Transgender individuals are known to be at a higher risk for certain chronic conditions compared to cisgender individuals. Similarly, research also shows justice-involved individuals have a higher risk of chronic conditions compared to non-justice-involved individuals.Aim: This study aims to investigate the differences in chronic disease diagnoses between transgender and cisgender individuals who either utilized healthcare services provided by a US county health system or who were incarcerated in the same county’s jail.Method: We leveraged electronic health record data from a United States county health system, including data from the local jail, to evaluate the difference in diagnosis of certain chronic conditions among transgender and cisgender individuals. We also compared individuals who experienced incarceration and those who did not.Results: We found transgender individuals experiencing recent incarceration were more likely to be diagnosed with substance use disorder, HIV/AIDS, and Hepatitis C than cisgender individuals. Transgender individuals not experiencing recent incarceration were more likely to be diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, seizure disorder, major depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder than cisgender individuals.Conclusion: These results highlight how transgender individuals may be disproportionately impacted by certain diseases within and outside carceral settings.Keywords: HIVincarcerationsubstance use disordertransgenderUnited States Disclosure statementThe authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.

Background Incarcerated trans women experience significant victimization, mistreatment, barriers to gender-affirming care, and human rights violations, conferring high risk for trauma, psychological distress, self-harm, and suicide. Across the globe, most carceral settings are segregated by sex assigned at birth and governed by housing policies that restrict gender expression—elevating ‘safety and security’ above the housing preferences of incarcerated people.

Introduction Prescribing testosterone for gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) has been increasing in Australia with much of this practice done by general practitioners (GPs) and there are current AusPATH guidelines on how this can be done appropriately. There has been limited data collected from GPs about how well these patients are monitored and the adverse effects (AEs) that are experienced by this population of patients.
