Over the last decade we have seen an exponential surge in research and peer reviewed publications about the sexual health of trans and gender diverse people. We now know that sexually transmitted infections are highly prevalent in this key population and there is an urgent need for concentrated efforts made by patient advocates, health care providers, public health policy developers and governments to improve health and prevent harm in this underserved population. Today we discuss with Prof Jade Ghosn, his team's latest publication in STI BMJ titled: "Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake and retention in care in a group of transgender women at high risk of HIV: a French cohort of follow-up" and with Alisha Goburdhun, her team's work in supporting and advocating for trans clients at Accpetess-T.
