HIV and Transgender Identity: Towards Inclusion and Autonomy

IGLHRC believes that a vital part of our mission is supporting the work of activist organizations and allies by disseminating important information on human rights issues affecting LGBT communities worldwide. To this end we are posting this article from Gender DynamiX.

"Transgender people are located in all social/sexual demographic groups and currently invisible within all those groups due to various factors. Statistic on the HIV/STIs prevalence and incidence rates in the transgender community should be desegregated from that of MSM and WSW for sound advocacy and health intervention strategies for transgender people. Funding mechanisms should cater for transgender people as a self determining high risk group and not as a constituent of MSM and WSW clusters."
