“…MICBS are widely used in HIV-related research and more recently are being utilized in studies with TGD people (e.g., Madera et al, 2017). Specific MICBS include: DBS to assess systematic inflammation (Morgan, Taylor, Ryan, D'Aquila, & Mustanski, 2019), both DBS and saliva to access HIV incidence, prevalence and treatment efficacy (Flores, Brown, León, Sánchez, & Galea, 2018;Zalla, Herce, Edwards, Michel, & Weir, 2019), and finally DBS and hair samples to assess pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake and adherence (Gandhi et al, 2015(Gandhi et al, , 2017Marins et al, 2019). A number of studies have also established the feasibility of rapid HIV testing with TGD people with increased attention being paid to measuring the efficacy of PrEP (Grinsztejn et al, 2018).…”
