Abstract:

Despite having a higher burden of health problems, transgender persons face challenges in accessing healthcare in India. Most studies on healthcare access of transgender persons in India focus only on HIV related care, mental healthcare, gender affirmative services or on the ethno-cultural communities or transgender women. This study fills this gap by focusing on diverse gender identities within the transgender community with a specific focus on experiences in accessing general or routine healthcare services. A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this study. 23 in-depth interviews and

Abstract:

Gay, bisexual, queer, and other men who have sex with men (GBQMSM) and transgender and nonbinary persons are at elevated risk for HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and hepatitis C (HCV); in Appalachia, these communities experience more disease burden. However, little is known about the factors influencing risk. Sixteen semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted examining factors influencing prevention and care. Data were analyzed using constant comparison methodology. Fifteen themes emerged within four domains: social environment (e.g., microaggressions across gender, sexual

Barriers to help-seeking behaviors in transgender populations in non-Western contexts are both understudied and poorly understood. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, this study examined the psychological help-seeking attitudes of 109 transgender persons from Pakistan in relation to their psychological distress and attitudes toward sexuality. This research further identified which components of distress (stress, anxiety, or depression) were stronger predictors and assessed the role of particular demographic/behavioral factors in help-seeking attitudes.

<strong>Abstract </strong> <em>Gender dysphoria</em> is the diagnosis included in the <em>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</em>, published by the American Psychiatric Association, which refers to the marked incongruence that exists between the gender that is felt or expressed and the one assigned at birth. The discomfort generated by the incongruity can cause gender affirmation to be requested through hormonal treatment or surgical sex reassignment, which is expected to disappear such discomfort. However, not all people with gender incongruence manifest discomfort and when

Abstract Age-Friendly Communities (AFC) initiatives are gaining momentum in Canada and around the globe with many communities making commitments to becoming age-friendly. Aging lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and two-spirit (LGBTQ2+) Canadians are a diverse subpopulation whose social histories and contexts may not have been considered in such initiatives. In response, many community-level organizations have created programs and supports for older LGBTQ2+ persons.

The high vulnerability of transgender (TG) persons to HIV infection and the difficulties associated with access to health services can lead to delays in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection, thus increasing the risk of transmission of HIV by this population. We performed a retrospective study to analyze the main characteristics of TG living with HIV infection in a hospital in Madrid, Spain and to identify issues related to lack of access to the health care system and combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). We analyzed 28 TG, of whom 22 (78.6%) were TG women. Median age was 28 years

Abstract:

Abstract Background While pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a promising strategy for HIV prevention, some high-risk persons have limited access to care, particularly Black and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM). Disparities also exist by region: the Southern United States accounts for over half of new HIV diagnoses but only a third of PrEP prescriptions. We evaluated a novel PrEP program based on a collaboration between a local department of public health (DPH) and a federally qualified health center (FQHC) providing care to underserved racial/ethnic minorities in Durham, North Carolina.
