Most HIV research combines transgender women who have sex with men (TWSM) with cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM), despite emerging evidence of important differences. Using data from The MARI Study, we compared Black TWSM and Black cisgender MSM on personal and ecological factors. Black TWSM reported more unemployment (71.4% versus 51.4%, = 0.015), incarceration (52.4% versus 36.0%, = 0.046), stressful life experiences (median score 135.5 versus 90, = 0.033), and HIV positivity (66.7% versus 22.9%, = 0.008). Further research into the causes and consequences of these differences, and regarding TWSM specifically, is needed.
大多数艾滋病毒研究将与男性发生性关系的跨性别女性（TWSM）与与男性发生性关系的顺性别男性（MSM）结合在一起，尽管有新出现的重要差异证据。利用 MARI 研究的数据，我们比较了黑人跨性别女性和黑人顺性别男性在个人和生态因素方面的差异。黑人跨性别女性报告了更多的失业（71.4%对 51.4%， = 0.015）、监禁（52.4%对 36.0%， = 0.046）、压力生活经历（中位数分数 135.5 对 90， = 0.033）和艾滋病毒阳性（66.7%对 22.9%， = 0.008）。需要进一步研究这些差异的原因和后果，特别是针对 TWSM。
