Needs Assessment Studies from Transgender Communities Across the United States
Publication Date: 04/01/2006
The impact of the HIV/Aids epidemic on the transgender community has been tragically ignored and as yet there is surprisingly little research data on the subject of health care and HIV prevention in this marginalized population. "Transgender Health and HIV Prevention" fills this void by providing a groundbreaking empirical assessment of the health needs of transgender persons in several areas around the United States. Respected experts discuss issues that hinder the effectiveness of HIV prevention programmes, including housing, mental health and employment, as well as the unique broader problems of social stigma, discrimination and the lack of transgender knowledge and sensitivity on the part of health providers and prevention workers. Even though recent studies show estimated HIV infection rates to be as much as 60 per cent among specific transgender populations in the US, the transgender community continues to receive inadequate healthcare support. "Transgender Health and HIV Prevention" tackles the problems inherent in the healthcare system, by first assessing recommendations for remedy.
