HIV Journal Announces Transgender Issue, Calls For More Research | HIVPlusMag.com:
“Finally, there’s a scientific journal that believes there needs to be more data on transgender people and HIV; and is doing something about it. Dedicating a special issue and calling for more studies, The Journal of the International AIDS Society (JIAS) is seeking abstracts for a supplement on transgender health and HIV.”
I lost my first transgender friend, an African American trans woman, to AIDS in 1989, before the word “transgender” was widely used, (back then it was either pre-op or post-op transsexual). She was laid to rest in a pauper’s grave as her family didn’t claim her. I’d say the subject has deserved more attention for decades!
