Social Stigma, Marginalization, Injection Drug Use, and HIV Risk Among MTF Transgenders UCSF/CAPS Health Studies for People of Color 1145 Bush Street, 2nd Floor San Francisco, CA JoAnne G. Keatley, MSW Project Director

High Risk Because of their unique social context, male-to-female transgenders (MTF TGs) are at high risk for HIV infection and other adverse health outcomes.

Social Stigma Due to the social stigma attached to being transgender and the lack of employment opportunities, many feel forced to engage in commercial sex work.

Substance Use Substance use is also quite prevalent in this population, and helps MTF TGs cope with their oppressive environment.

Unprotected Sex  with commercial sex partners, who will often pay more to have unprotected sex.  with private partners who they trusted or with whom they were in a primary relationship.  with both types of partners while under the influence of substances. Instances of unprotected sex occur in the following three contexts:

Psychosocial Stressors Psychosocial stressors, including isolation, depression, and transphobia, can exacerbate HIV risk and drug using behaviors.

Cross-Sectional Study A cross-sectional study was carried out in San Francisco to learn more about this population and the issues they face.
