Abstract

HIV vulnerability among transgender women is symptomatic of numerous syndemic psychosocial and structural co-factors that attribute to and exacerbate HIV risk. From February 2010 to December 2017, 514 transgender women enrolled in a “homegrown” theory-based, HIV risk reduction program, TransAction, specifically designed to intervene with trans women who experience numerous co-occurring health disparities. Increased attendance in TransAction intervention sessions was associated with significant reductions in the number of male sexual partners (coef. = − 0.20), anonymous male sexual partners (− 0.30), exchange male sexual partners (− 0.25), engagement in drug/alcohol use (− 0.37), engagement in injection drug use (− 0.20), engagement in unmonitored injection hormone use (− 0.55), engagement in sex while high (− 0.23), and engagement in sex work (− 0.20; all coefficient estimates p ≤ 0.05). Results demonstrated that the homegrown HIV risk reduction intervention was successful in working with transgender women who experience multiple co-occurring syndemic conditions. Given that there has been a dearth of evidence-based interventions for this population that are designed to be delivered in resource limited settings, TransAction can serve as a model HIV risk reduction program for guiding public health departments and community-based organizations.
