Penn Medicine Study Objective and Design Baligh R. Yehia, MD, MPP, MSHP25 Objective: Examine whether retention in care, use of ART, and HIV viral suppression differed between cisgender and transgender people living with HIV. Design: A retrospective cohort of HIV-infected adults enrolled in care at 13 US HIV clinics between 2001 and 2011.

27
Penn Medicine Analyses Baligh R. Yehia, MD, MPP, MSHP27 We compared demographics for each cisgender group to the transgender group using the χ 2 test of independence. CD4 count and HIV viral load at enrollment were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test due to their non-normal distribution. Multivariate logistic regression examined demographic (age, gender, race/ethnicity, HIV transmission risk, insurance coverage) and clinical factors (CD4 count) associated with each of the three outcomes, adjusting for calendar year and site of care.

36
Penn Medicine Conclusions Baligh R. Yehia, MD, MPP, MSHP36 Reducing HIV-related disparities is a major goal of Healthy People 2020 and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States. Compared to prior studies, these results reflect improvements in health equity for transgender patients infected with HIV. Advances in HIV therapy and management have occurred since these studies were conducted, including expansion of available antiretroviral drugs, simplified dosing, greater tolerability, and improvements in evidence-based guidelines.
37
Penn Medicine Limitations Baligh R. Yehia, MD, MPP, MSHP37 Retrospective nature Focus on patients engaged in care Relative small number of transgender people with HIV Generalizability Unable to assess variations in health outcomes by subgroups (MTF, FTM, gender expression, sexual orientation)
38
Penn Medicine Future Directions Baligh R. Yehia, MD, MPP, MSHP38 Estimate the proportion of HIV-infected transgender persons out of care. Develop interventions designed to improve access and linkage to care for transgender individuals.
