Sexual health behavior, health status, and knowledge among queer womxn and trans men in Kenya: An online cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Little research has been conducted on the sexual health needs and risk behaviors of queer womxn and trans men, making it difficult to identify specific health needs and disparities. This is especially the case in the Global South, where their needs are poorly understood. This study presents findings on demographics, sources of information, sexual (risk) behaviors, and substance use in Kenyan queer womxn and trans men.

Methods

An online survey among 335 Kenyan queer womxn and trans men was used to collect data on sexual health, risk behavior, health information sources, and substance use. The participants needed to have had at least one self-identified female sexual partner.

Results

The sample presented young, highly-educated queer womxn and trans men
