Psychosocial and structural syndemic conditions, including polydrug use and experiencing homelessness, frequently co-occur and might jointly increase HIV risk. Limited studies have assessed racial and ethnic differences in exposure to syndemic conditions and behaviors associated with HIV transmission among transgender women. This report examines the relation between syndemic conditions and condomless anal intercourse (CAI) among transgender women in seven urban areas in the United States to develop HIV prevention interventions for transgender women. During 2019-2020, transgender women in seven urban areas were recruited using respondent-driven sampling for a biobehavioral survey. Reported syndemic conditions (psychosocial: polydrug use, sexual violence, and psychological distress; structural: homelessness, incarceration, and exchange sex) were summed to create a syndemic score. Using modified Poisson regression to account for RDS, the study assessed whether the strength of the association between syndemic score and CAI differed by race and ethnicity. To assess additive interaction, the relative excess prevalence owing to interaction (REPI) and 95% CIs for selected pairs of syndemic conditions on CAI prevalence stratified by race and ethnicity were estimated. Of 1,348 transgender women (Black = 546, White = 176, and Hispanic = 626), 55% reported CAI; and 24% reported ≥3 syndemic conditions. Reporting additional syndemic conditions was associated with CAI for White, Hispanic, and Black participants. The association was significantly stronger for White than Black and Hispanic participants. Limited significant superadditive interactions were found, although the majority were between structural syndemic conditions. Racial and ethnic differences in REPI estimates were observed. Reporting more syndemic conditions was associated with increased CAI across racial and ethnic groups, demonstrating that HIV prevention efforts for transgender women should address structural and psychosocial syndemic conditions. Results differed by race and ethnicity, indicating that syndemic-focused interventions for transgender women should be tailored to racial and ethnic groups.
心理社会和结构性联合症候群条件,包括多药物使用和无家可归,经常同时发生,可能共同增加 HIV 风险。有限的研究评估了跨性别女性中与 HIV 传播相关的联合症候群条件和行为的种族和民族差异。本报告研究了美国七个城市的跨性别女性中联合症候群条件与无保护肛交(CAI)之间的关系,以便为跨性别女性制定 HIV 预防干预措施。在 2019-2020 年期间,使用回应驱动抽样法在七个城市招募跨性别女性进行生物行为调查。报告的联合症候群条件(心理社会:多药物使用、性暴力和心理困扰;结构性:无家可归、监禁和性交易)被加总以创建联合症候群评分。使用修正泊松回归来考虑 RDS,研究评估了联合症候群评分与 CAI 之间的关联强度是否因种族和民族而异。为了评估加性交互作用,对于在种族和民族分层的 CAI 患病率上由选定的联合症候群条件对产生的相对超额流行归因于交互作用(REPI)和 95%置信区间进行了估计。在 1348 名跨性别女性中(黑人=546,白人=176,西班牙裔=626),55%报告了 CAI;24%报告了≥3 种联合症候群条件。对于白人、西班牙裔和黑人参与者,报告更多的联合症候群条件与 CAI 相关。与黑人相比,白人的相关性更强,而与西班牙裔相比,相关性更强。虽然大多数都是结构性联合症候群条件之间存在有限的显著超相加交互作用。观察到种族和民族差异的 REPI 估计。报告更多的联合症候群条件与跨种族和民族群体的 CAI 增加相关,表明针对跨性别女性的 HIV 预防工作应解决结构性和心理社会联合症候群条件。结果因种族和民族而异,表明针对跨性别女性的以联合症候群为重点的干预措施应根据种族和民族群体进行调整。
