Describe health of transgender women (TW) with HIV vs. cisgender men and women (CM, CW) in a U.S. HIV care cohort. Data were from Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS), 2005-2022. TW were identified using clinical data/identity measures. PWH (n = 1285) were included in analyses (275 TW, 547 CM, 463 CW). Cross-sectional multivariable analyses compared HIV outcomes/co-morbidities between TW/CM and TW/CW, and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated. TW had poorer adherence (> 90% adherent; aOR 0.57; 95%CI 0.38, 0.87) and were more likely to miss ≥ 3 visits in the past year than CM (aOR 1.50, 95%CI 1.06, 2.10); indicated more anxiety compared to both CM and CW (p ≤ 0.001, p = 0.02); hepatitis C infection (p = 0.03) and past-year/lifetime substance treatment (p = 0.004/p = 0.001) compared to CM; and substance use relative to CW. TW with HIV differed in HIV clinical outcomes and co-morbidities from CM and CW.
描述美国艾滋病毒护理队列中跨性别女性 (TW) 与顺性别男性和女性 (CM、CW) 的健康状况。数据来自艾滋病研究中心网络综合临床系统 (CNICS),2005-2022 年。TW 通过临床数据/身份措施确定。包括分析在内的 PWH(n=1285)(275 TW、547 CM、463 CW)。横断面多变量分析比较了 TW/CM 和 TW/CW 之间的艾滋病毒结局/合并症,并估计了调整后的优势比 (aOR) 和 95%置信区间 (95%CI)。TW 的依从性较差(>90%依从性;aOR 0.57;95%CI 0.38,0.87),并且在过去一年中错过≥3 次就诊的可能性高于 CM(aOR 1.50,95%CI 1.06,2.10);与 CM 和 CW 相比,TW 表示更多的焦虑(p≤0.001,p=0.02);丙型肝炎感染(p=0.03)和过去一年/终生药物治疗(p=0.004/p=0.001)比 CM 更常见;以及相对于 CW 的药物使用。HIV 阳性的 TW 在 HIV 临床结局和合并症方面与 CM 和 CW 不同。
