| Popis: | Purpose: Transgender women experience significant health disparities, including increased risk of HIV infection. In this study, we examined the sexual health needs of transgender women in the context of their overall health and well-being and to identify overarching content framing strategies and content for a mobile health intervention. Methods: We conducted four focus groups and 20 individual in-depth interviews in the United States with racially and geographically diverse transgender women. Results: Four key themes were identified: structural factors as a central part of health; prioritization of transition-related care and mental health; the need for sexual health beyond preventing sexually transmitted infections and HIV; and the importance of connection and community. Conclusions: These themes can help inform the development of HIV prevention and sexual health promotion interventions for transgender women. The results suggest that the HIV and sexual health needs of transgender women should be addressed within the context of structural factors with a focus on resilience, community connection, and social support. |
