Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of HIV vulnerability and opportunities for HIV prevention within the social networks of male-to-female transgender persons in San Salvador, El Salvador. We compare HIV prevalence and behavioral data from a sample of gay-identified men who have sex with men (MSM) (n = 279), heterosexual or bisexual identified MSM (n = 229) and transgender persons (n = 67) recruited using Respondent Driven Sampling. Transgender persons consistently reported higher rates of HIV risk behavior than the rest of the study population and were significantly more likely to be involved in sex work. While transgender persons reported the highest rates of exposure to HIV educational activities they had the lowest levels of HIV-related knowledge. Transgender respondents' social networks were homophilous and efficient at recruiting other transgender persons. Findings suggest that transgender social networks could provide an effective and culturally relevant opportunity for HIV prevention efforts in this vulnerable population.

摘要

本研究旨在增进对萨尔瓦多圣萨尔瓦多跨性别男性(男变女)人群社交网络内艾滋病毒易感性和艾滋病毒预防机会的理解。我们使用回应者驱动抽样(RDS),对自我认同为男同性恋者、与男性发生性关系的男同性恋者(MSM)(n = 279)、异性恋或双性恋认同的 MSM(n = 229)和跨性别者(n = 67)样本进行了 HIV 流行率和行为数据比较。跨性别者持续报告了更高的艾滋病毒风险行为率,且显著更有可能从事性工作。虽然跨性别者报告了最高的艾滋病毒教育活动接触率,但他们的艾滋病毒相关知识水平最低。跨性别者受访者的社交网络是同性取向的,并且能够有效地招募其他跨性别者。研究结果表明,在这个弱势群体中,跨性别者社交网络可能为艾滋病毒预防工作提供了一种有效和具有文化相关性的机会。
