"It Takes Two" is a couples-based HIV prevention program designed for transgender women and their partners. The aim of this project is to alleviate HIV vulnerability by enhancing communication, improving shared goals, and decreasing relationship stigma. From November 2019 to November 2022, we conducted a randomized controlled trial with 52 couples (104 individuals). Participants were randomized into one of two groups: the intervention group received four 1-hour counseling sessions, while the control group received educational videos. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 60% of participants took part in a fully digital trial, including telehealth counseling. Assessments were conducted at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. We analyzed the outcomes using multilevel random coefficient models. While the intervention did not significantly impact HIV vulnerability, communication, or shared goals, there were reductions in relationship stigma among partners of transgender women at 3- (Cohen's d = 0.54), 6- (Cohen's d = 0.57), and 12-months (Cohen's d = 0.72) post-intervention. These findings highlight the importance of addressing relationship stigma and involving partners in HIV prevention efforts to promote the health of transgender women.
“携手同行”是一项针对跨性别女性及其伴侣的基于伴侣关系的艾滋病毒预防项目。该项目的目的是通过加强沟通、改善共同目标以及减少关系污名化来减轻艾滋病毒易感性。从2019年11月到2022年11月,我们对52对伴侣(104人)进行了一项随机对照试验。参与者被随机分为两组之一:干预组接受四次1小时的咨询课程,而对照组观看教育视频。由于新冠疫情,60%的参与者参加了全数字化试验,包括远程医疗咨询。在基线以及3个月、6个月、9个月和12个月时进行评估。我们使用多层次随机系数模型分析结果。虽然干预对艾滋病毒易感性、沟通或共同目标没有显著影响,但在干预后的3个月(科恩d值=0.54)、6个月(科恩d值=0.57)和12个月(科恩d值=0.72),跨性别女性伴侣之间的关系污名化有所减少。这些发现凸显了解决关系污名化以及让伴侣参与艾滋病毒预防工作以促进跨性别女性健康的重要性。
