We sought to characterize the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor profile of transgender women with HIV identified through a U.S. healthcare database. Compared with age- and race-matched cisgender men with HIV, transgender women with HIV had an increased prevalence of anemia and lower absolute hemoglobin levels. HIV control was sub-optimal and prevalence of HCV co-infection was high among transgender women. Further study of non-traditional CVD risk factors/immune activation among transgender women with HIV is warranted.
我们试图通过美国医疗保健数据库确定的 HIV 跨性别女性的心血管疾病 (CVD) 风险因素特征。与年龄和种族匹配的 HIV 顺性别男性相比，HIV 跨性别女性贫血的患病率更高，绝对血红蛋白水平更低。HIV 控制不理想，HCV 合并感染在跨性别女性中患病率很高。有必要进一步研究 HIV 跨性别女性中非传统 CVD 风险因素/免疫激活。
