Rights in Action: Transgender Health and HIV

Every day, transgender (trans) people face human rights violations that harm their health and well-being, limit their opportunities, and increase their vulnerability to HIV. In order to meet the ambitious UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets, greater understanding of and attention to the rights and needs of trans people is needed. This brief seeks to strengthen the ability of programmers and policymakers to understand and respond to HIV risks faced by transgender people around the world in order to reduce the burden of HIV in and protect the rights of trans communities.
