Major US cohort reveals sharp racial disparities in HIV acquisition among trans women
At the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2026) held in Denver last week, Dr Sari Reisner from the University of Michigan presented data on how many transgender women in a national US cohort acquired HIV over a two-year period, and the factors associated with getting HIV.
“Our study found that HIV incidence remains high among trans women in the US and that disparities persist across race and ethnicity, with highest HIV incidence for Black, Latina and Asian trans women,” Reisner stated.
