Fighting stigma against transgender people in Brazil

With a risk of HIV that is 14 times greater than that of women in the adult population (aged 15 to 49 years), transgender women have a pressing need for access to PrEP and other components of combination prevention. However, social exclusion—along with stigma and discrimination and the risk of violence—makes it difficult for many transgender people to obtain the information and services they need.
