OBJECTIVES
To study the demographics and the quality of life of Transgenders and men who have sex with men (MSM) infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
METHODS
A Cross sectional study conducted from 2019 to 2021 in the Indus Hospital Karachi. A 30 minutes interview was conducted among HIV positive homosexual participants.
RESULTS
Out of 100 patients enrolled 58% were transgender, 39% uneducated, 76% not supported financially by family, 20% reported hospital misconduct, 50% were commercial sex workers and 64% had anxiety. Our results also showed that increasing patient knowledge does not guarantee safe sex habits (p-value=0.82).
CONCLUSION
We found declining psycho-social wellbeing in this population. Education and family support may help establish a good standard of living in them. More studies are needed in the Pakistani transgender population in order to understand their needs better.
目的
研究感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的变性者和男男性行为者（MSM）的人口统计学特征和生活质量。
方法
2019年至2021年在卡拉奇印度河医院进行了一项横断面研究。对HIV阳性的同性恋参与者进行了30分钟的访谈。
结果
在纳入的100名患者中，58%为变性者，39%未受过教育，76%在经济上得不到家庭支持，20%报告有医院不当行为，50%为商业性工作者，64%有焦虑情绪。我们的结果还表明，增加患者知识并不能保证安全性行为习惯（p值 = 0.82）。
结论
我们发现这一人群的心理社会幸福感在下降。教育和家庭支持可能有助于他们建立良好的生活水平。为了更好地了解巴基斯坦变性人群体的需求，还需要进行更多研究。
