Qualitative study reveals syndemic barriers to HIV preventive care and pre-exposure prophylaxis among transgender women, highlighting systemic exclusion and transphobia.

Key Points

Transgender women face severe syndemic barriers to pre-exposure prophylaxis, driven by systemic transphobia, chronic poverty, and clinical exclusion.
Among 22 participants, 73% identified as Latina and reported that cost concerns and trauma significantly impeded access to HIV preventive care.
Thematic analyses of qualitative interviews highlight severe institutional exclusion, calling for structural reforms to integrate behavioral healthcare.
