HIV in Transgender Communities: Syndemic Dynamics and a Need for Multicomponent Interventions
Open accessAbstract
Transgender communities are among the groups at highest risk for HIV infection in the United States. Using syndemic theory, we examine how HIV risk in transgender communities is embedded in multiple co-occurring public health problems, including poor mental health, substance use, violence and victimization, discrimination, and economic hardship. Although safer sex counseling and testing programs are essential platforms for HIV intervention, these modalities alone may be insufficient in reducing new infections. Multicomponent interventions are necessary to respond to the complex interacting syndemic factors that cumulatively determine HIV vulnerability in transgender individuals.

In the citing paper
“In the field of HIV treatment and prevention, appeals to the theory of syndemics are near-universally used to justify calls for complex, integrated and/or multi-component interventions targeting all of the co-occurring epidemics in concert.11–13”

In the citing paper
“Yet researchers and programme implementers drawing on the theory of syndemics rarely, if ever, advocate for single-component interventions; rather, calls for multi-component interventions are typically the norm.11–13”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
