“…25 In addition, these vulnerable populations (eg, transgender individuals and MSM) are reported to have more difficulties achieving better HIV treatment cascade (eg, viral suppression) 26 and usually have worse HIV treatment outcomes than general populations. 27 Studies have found that transgender individuals are less likely to be linked to care, retained in care and achieve higher levels of viral suppression. [28][29][30][31] Thus, SOGI data measurement for PLWH are essential for healthcare providers (eg, case managers, physicians and nurses) to assess health risks and disparities of this key populations, facilitate HIV treatment cascade outcomes (eg, viral suppression) and build a truly patient-centred healthcare system.…”

IntroductionThe measure of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data in electronic health records (EHR) has been critical for addressing health disparities and inequalities, especially for HIV care. Given that gender and sexual minorities (eg, transgender, men who have sex with men and intersex) are key groups in people living with HIV (PLWH), SOGI data can facilitate a more accurate understanding about the HIV outcomes (eg, viral suppression) among this key group and then lead to tailored therapeutic services. The two-step SOGI collection method as an emerging gender measurement can be used to measure SOGI status in medical settings. Using the statewide cohort of PLWH in South Carolina (SC), this project aims to: (1) integrate statewide PLWH cohort data with their birth certificate data to evaluate SOGI measurements from multiple EHR sources; and (2) examine differences in viral suppression based on SOGI measurements.Methods and analysisOur EHR database includes several HIV data sources with patients’ gender information, such as SC Department of Health and Environmental Control Centre (DHEC), Health Sciences South Carolina (HSSC) and Prisma as well as birth certificate data to retrieve the sex at birth. The SC Enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System (e-HARS) from DHEC will provide longitudinal viral load information to define a variety of viral suppression status. Datasources like the SC office of Revenue and Fiscal Affairs (RFA) will extract longitudinal EHR clinical data of all PLWH in SC from multiple health systems; obtain data from other state agencies and link the patient-level data with county-level data from multiple publicly available data sources.Ethics and disseminationThe study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of South Carolina (Pro00129906) as a Non-Human Subject study. The study’s findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and disseminated at national and international conferences and through social media.

This chapter describes the impact HIV/AIDS has had on sexual and gender minority (SGM) communities globally, including cisgender men who have sex with cisgender men, transgender and gender-diverse people, and sexual minority women. After highlighting some important methodological and ethical issues in HIV/AIDS research and interventions among SGM globally, it touches on the importance of sensitivity to the wide variety of gender identities and sexual orientations and different conceptualizations cross-culturally. Next, disproportionate risks and vulnerabilities facing certain SGM groups are explored, focusing on intersecting structural, interpersonal, and individual-level risk factors, and highlighting some differences in regional contexts. Promising HIV/AIDS interventions for SGM populations at structural, interpersonal, and individual levels are included. Chronic disease among SGM people living with HIV is also discussed. Finally, major gaps in knowledge about SGM communities are discussed and future directions for HIV research and practice for SGM people globally are explored.
