ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the population size of transgender women (TGW) in Tianjin and analyze the characteristics of their sexual behaviors to provide a basis for AIDS prevention and control.Methods:
To estimate the population size of TGW in Tianjin using the capture-recapture method. At the same time, an anonymous questionnaire was collected to conduct a multi-factor logistic analysis of the TGW population's sexual behavior.Results:
A total of 213 TGW were investigated. Tianjin's estimated TGW population size was 599 (95%CI 407-792). Multivariate logistic analysis of the use of condoms consistently showed that compared with TGW without regular sex partners, those with regular sex partners had a lower proportion of consistent condom use (aOR=0.44, 95%CI 0.23-0.82) and had received HIV tests in the last year were more likely to adhere to condom use than those who had not been tested (aOR=2.73, 95%CI 1.06-6.99).Conclusion:
It is necessary to strengthen HIV mobilization testing among the TGW population and their regular sexual partners to improve condom use.
