Transgender Women Have High Rates of HIV: The Question is Why? 
"Transgender women in Miami-Dade County have a disproportionately high level of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases compared to other at-risk groups and in other areas in the U.S.," said Dr. Allan Rodriguez, director of Behavioral/Social Science & Community Outreach Core of the Miami Center for AIDS Research. According to statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 6.34 percent of transgender women who are tested for HIV have positive results compared with 1.5 percent for other populations.

A team of University of Miami Miller School of Medicine researchers is studying why transgender women have exceptionally higher rates of acquiring HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. In a first-of-its-kind collaborative project, the LITE Study ( Leading Innovation for Transgender Women's Health and Empowerment) examines behaviors and other factors that may increase disease transmission and poor health outcomes in this diverse, at-risk population.
