Abstract
Transgender persons are disproportionately affected by HIV infection. Because data for this population are not uniformly collected, information is lacking on how many transgender persons in the United States are infected with HIV. However, data from some jurisdictions suggest that HIV diagnosis rates among transgender persons are substantially greater than the overall HIV diagnosis rate in the United States.
