Review protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis on HIV inequities in transgender and non-binary populations.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Global disparities in HIV prevalence among transgender women are well documented. However, current epidemiological literature on HIV disparities demonstrates gaps in research that include the diversity within transgender populations-for example, transgender men and non-binary trans people across global regions.

The objectives of this review are to estimate pooled HIV prevalence and prevention outcomes (pre-exposure prophylaxis and antiretroviral therapy) and differences by gender identity, global regions and self-report versus lab-confirmed findings among trans adults worldwide.
