Abstrakt: This study aimed to identify factors associated with HIV risk perception among Mexican transgender women (TGW). This cross-sectional survey was conducted online and at a public HIV clinic in Mexico City. Participants were ≥ 18 years old, self-identified as TGW, and reported not living with HIV. They answered questions on sexual behavior, HIV risk perception, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness. We performed a multivariate logistic regression to accomplish the study's objective. One hundred ninety-one TGW completed the survey. High HIV risk perception was associated with > 5 sexual partners, condomless receptive anal sex, sex with a male partner(s) of unknown HIV status, and PrEP awareness. Although most TGW reported low HIV risk perception, over half had risk sexual behavior, reflecting inaccurate risk assessment. Future interventions to improve accurate risk perception among TGW should promote HIV transmission and prevention knowledge and increase PrEP awareness and uptake.
