Data on HIV risk were collected with the Countywide Risk Assessment Survey from 2126 participants; 92 were male-to-female transgender persons (i.e., cross-dressers, and those who identify with the opposite sex), and 9 were male-to-female transsexual individuals (i.e., those who have undergone gender-reassignment surgery or other procedures). Transgender-identified individuals were more likely than the rest of the sample to have received hormone injections, offensive comments, and HIV testing; injected hormones with a used needle; been Asian or American Indian; been paid for sexual intercourse; and lived in unstable housing but less likely to have used heroin. Transgender-identified individuals are at high risk for HIV infection because of reuse of needles and being paid for sexual intercourse.
通过全县风险评估调查收集了2126名参与者的艾滋病毒风险数据；其中92人为男变女的跨性别者（即异装者以及认同异性身份者），9人为男变女的变性者（即已接受性别重置手术或其他程序者）。与样本中的其他人群相比，自我认同为跨性别的个体更有可能接受过激素注射、遭受过冒犯性言论以及接受过艾滋病毒检测；使用过用过的针头注射激素；为亚裔或美洲印第安人；有过有偿性行为；居住在不稳定住房中，但使用海洛因的可能性较小。由于针头重复使用和有偿性行为，自我认同为跨性别的个体感染艾滋病毒的风险很高。
