Prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Opportunistic Infections Among Transgender Patients in the Clinical Setting: An All-Payer Electronic Health Record Database Study

We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the prevalence of HIV and opportunistic infections among transgender patients in clinical care. Of 10,160 transgender patients identified, 3.9% had a diagnosis of HIV, compared to 0.32% in the non-transgender cohort (p<0.0001). Transgender patients exper...

description We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the prevalence of HIV and opportunistic infections among transgender patients in clinical care. Of 10,160 transgender patients identified, 3.9% had a diagnosis of HIV, compared to 0.32% in the non-transgender cohort (p<0.0001). Transgender patients experience the burden of all opportunistic infection compared to non-transgender patients in this analysis, although prevalence of pneumocystis pneumonia was not significant. This cohort-based, all-payer electronic health record study of HIV patients connected to care revealed that transgender patients have a higher prevalence of HIV infection and opportunistic infections compared to the non-transgender cohort.
