“…Participants are not representative of all TWH in the area and were invited through partnering clinics and organizations, participant referrals, and past studies. That said, characteristics of our sample are similar to those of trans women in an RDS sample in São Paulo [3]. Finally, while extensive efforts were made to extract clinical case files and access national treatment and laboratory registers, we were unable to locate registry data for 14% of participants who may have been registered under a different name.…”

“…Transgender women (or 'trans women,' individuals assigned 'male' at birth but who identify as female or transgender) are at exceedingly high risk for HIV acquisition in Brazil [1], with disproportionate rates of infection, placing Brazil among countries with the greatest HIV disparities [2]. Prevalence among Brazilian transgender women has been estimated between 25 and 38% [3,4], an odds of HIV infection over 55 times higher than the general population [5]. Consistent with data from the United States (US), where rates of HIV testing, antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation, and viral suppression are significantly lower than other key populations [6][7][8][9][10][11], transgender women living with HIV (TWH) in Brazil also experience low rates of testing uptake [12] and viral suppression.…”

“…Verificou-se que a maioria foi publicado nas revistas Ciência & Saúde Coletiva (Popadiuk;Oliveira & Signorelli, 2017;Rocon et al, 2016) e Cadernos de Saúde Pública (Hernandez et al, 2019;Monteiro & Brigeiro, 2019). Houve uma concentração nas regiões sudeste (Hernandez et al, 2019;Monteiro & Brigeiro, 2019;Rocha et al, 2020;Rocon et al, 2016;Sevelius et al, 2019) e sul (Popadiuk;Oliveira & Signorelli, 2017), bem como em ambas regiões (Costa et al, 2018) do país. Tinham como objetivo, de um modo geral, analisar a execução do Processo Transxualizador no contexto brasileiro de saúde (Popadiuk;Oliveira & Signorelli, 2017), observar o acesso aos serviços de saúde no contexto do SUS (Rocon et al, 2016), delimitar as necessidades em saúde e as barreiras enfrentadas pela população trans de modo geral no Brasil (Costa et al, 2018;Monteiro & Brigeiro, 2019), analisar os serviços em saúde ofertados e a prática dos direitos civis conquistados pela população transexual (Florêncio et al, 2020;Hernandez et al, 2019), observar a situação em saúde da utilização de hormônios por mulheres trans no Brasil (Krüger et al, 2019) e, por fim, avaliar os aspectos de atenção ofertada a mulheres trans e travestis em relação ao HIV (Rocha et al, 2020;Sevelius et al, 2019 Identificou-se algumas questões que interferem diretamente no acesso aos serviços de saúde, tais como violência; desrespeito ao nome social e utilização incorreta de terminologias de identidade;…”

“…Em relação ao HIV, percebe-se que o aumento da testagem possibilitado pela política pública nacional de 2013, destinada à população LGBT, não necessariamente significou avanços nos números de encaminhamentos e tratamentos, dado que 23,4% dos entrevistados soropositivos não tiveram prescrição de terapia antirretroviral, indicando a ausência de atendimento e acompanhamento médico (Rocha et al, 2020).…”
