Transgender women, especially transgender women of color, are disproportionately affected by HIV. However, no surveillance system collects data on HIV risk factors among this population. To address this gap, CDC developed a surveillance system entitled National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Among Transgender Women (NHBS-Trans) to assess behavioral and contextual data through systematic biobehavioral surveillance to monitor behavioral risk factors, prevention usage, and HIV prevalence among transgender women. NHBS-Trans used respondent-driven sampling in seven urban areas in the United States. Trained interviewers used a standardized, anonymous questionnaire to collect information on HIV-related behavioral risk factors, HIV testing, and use of prevention services. Each of the seven participating project areas recruited approximately 200 eligible transgender women and offered anonymous HIV testing. Overall, in the seven project areas, 1,757 participants completed the eligibility screener for NHBS-Trans during 2019-2020; of these, 6.6% were seeds (i.e., a limited number of initial participants who were chosen by referrals from persons and community-based organizations who knew or were part of the local population of transgender women). A total of 1,637 (93.2%) participants were eligible, consented, and completed the interview. Of these, 1,624 (99.2%) agreed to HIV testing. Of the total 1,637 participants, 29 participants did not report identity of woman or transgender woman, resulting in a final sample of 1,608 transgender women. NHBS-Trans project area staff members (n = 14) reported that the survey was timely and addressed a critical need for HIV surveillance in a population that is often overlooked. The MMWR supplement includes this overview report on NHBS-Trans, which describes the methods (history, participant eligibility criteria, questionnaire, data collection, and HIV testing) as well as evaluation of project implementation and the performance of the questionnaire content, specifically the acceptability for transgender women. The other NHBS-Trans reports in the supplement include information on pre-exposure prophylaxis use, psychosocial syndemic conditions and condomless anal intercourse, nonprescription hormone use, homelessness, discrimination and the association between employment discrimination and health care access and use, and social support and the association between certain types of violence and harassment (gender-based verbal and physical abuse or harassment, physical intimate partner abuse or harassment, and sexual violence) and suicidal ideation. NHBS-Trans provides important data related to the goals of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative. Findings from NHBS-Trans can help guide community leaders, clinicians, and public health officials in improving access to and use of HIV prevention and treatment services by transgender women.
跨性别女性,尤其是跨性别有色人种女性,受到 HIV 的不成比例的影响。然而,没有监测系统收集有关这一人群 HIV 风险因素的数据。为了解决这一差距,CDC 开发了一个名为“国家 HIV 行为监测中的跨性别女性”(NHBS-Trans)的监测系统,通过系统的生物行为监测来评估行为和背景数据,以监测跨性别女性的行为风险因素、预防措施的使用情况和 HIV 流行率。NHBS-Trans 在美国七个城市地区使用了回应者驱动抽样法。经过培训的访谈者使用标准化的匿名问卷收集与 HIV 相关的行为风险因素、HIV 检测和预防服务使用方面的信息。七个参与项目地区中的每一个都招募了大约 200 名符合条件的跨性别女性,并提供匿名 HIV 检测。总的来说,在七个项目地区,2019 年至 2020 年期间,有 1757 名参与者完成了 NHBS-Trans 的资格筛选;其中,6.6%是种子(即,通过推荐来自了解或属于跨性别女性当地人群的人员和社区组织的有限数量的初始参与者)。共有 1637 名(93.2%)参与者符合条件、同意并完成了访谈。其中,1624 名(99.2%)同意进行 HIV 检测。在总共 1637 名参与者中,有 29 名参与者没有报告女性或跨性别女性的身份,因此最终样本为 1608 名跨性别女性。NHBS-Trans 项目地区工作人员(n=14)报告称,该调查及时进行,满足了在一个经常被忽视的人群中进行 HIV 监测的迫切需求。MMWR 增刊包括了关于 NHBS-Trans 的这份概述报告,该报告描述了方法(历史、参与者资格标准、问卷、数据收集和 HIV 检测)以及项目实施的评估和问卷内容的表现,特别是对跨性别女性的可接受性。增刊中的其他 NHBS-Trans 报告包括了关于暴露前预防措施使用、心理社会综合征状况和无保护肛交、非处方激素使用、无家可归、歧视以及与获得和使用医疗保健之间的关联、社会支持以及某些类型的暴力和骚扰(基于性别的言语和身体虐待或骚扰、身体亲密伴侣的虐待或骚扰以及性暴力)与自杀意念之间的关联。NHBS-Trans 提供了与美国终结 HIV 流行倡议的目标相关的重要数据。NHBS-Trans 的结果可以帮助指导社区领导、临床医生和公共卫生官员改善跨性别女性获得和使用 HIV 预防和治疗服务的机会。
