As acceptance of transgender and gender diverse individuals continues to increase, gender-affirming surgery, a cornerstone in the management of gender dysphoria, is becoming more readily available. HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) disproportionately affect these populations, but there are limited epidemiologic and management data on STIs in people who have undergone gender-affirming genital surgery such as vaginoplasty. This review will provide clinicians with anatomical details about the various vaginoplasty procedures currently being performed, complications associated with these procedures, and an overview of the current literature describing HIV/STI epidemiology among transfeminine individuals who have undergone vaginoplasty.
随着对跨性别和性别多样化个体的接受度不断提高,性别肯定手术作为性别焦虑症管理的基石,正变得越来越普及。艾滋病毒和性传播感染(STIs)在这些人群中不成比例地流行,但关于接受过性别肯定生殖器手术(如阴道成形术)的人感染 STIs 的流行病学和管理数据有限。这篇综述将为临床医生提供有关当前进行的各种阴道成形术程序的解剖学细节、与这些程序相关的并发症,以及描述接受过阴道成形术的跨性别女性个体中艾滋病毒/性传播感染流行病学的现有文献概述。
