This is a prospective observational cohort study that will enroll 300 HIV-negative transgender people and 150 transgender people living with HIV from 4 community health centers in Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Each participant will be followed-up until the completion of 24 months.
This prospective observational cohort study will longitudinally track physical (e.g. HIV/STI, sexual risk behavior, gender affirmation, clinical information, cardiovascular health, medical history) and mental health (e.g. stigma and discrimination, gender-based violence, anxiety, depression); identify biomedical, structural, and psychosocial factors impacting physical and mental health among transgender people; describe the structural barriers to healthcare experienced by transgender people as well as develop the guidance on holistic healthcare policies for transgender people.
