This document provides an overview of the epidemiology of transgender populations including estimates of prevalence, challenges with data collection, and HIV risk factors. Key points include:
- There are no reliable estimates of the transgender population due to lack of data collection and social stigma. Estimates range from 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 1,000 for MTF individuals and 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 33,800 for FTM individuals.
- HIV prevalence among transgender women averages 28% according to a meta-analysis, with the highest rates among African American transgender women. Risk factors driving transmission include social stigma, gender identity validation through sex, and survival sex work.
- Very little data exists on transgender

GID Reform in the DSM-5 and ICD-11: a Status Update Kelley Winters
A presentation I prepared for the 2013 Philadelphia Transgender Health Conference, but did not have the opportunity to attend. Summary of recent changes to gender related diagnostic categories in the DSM-5, published last month by the American Psychiatric Association, and proposed changes for the ICD-11, scheduled for publication in 2015 by the World Health Organization.
Methodological Questions in Childhood Gender Identity ‘Desistence’ ResearchKelley Winters
A presentation to the 23rd World Professional Association for Transgender Health Biennial Symposium, Feb. 16, 2014, Bangkok, Thailand, by Kelley Winters, Ph.D., of GID Reform Advocates.
It is frequently repeated in mental health literature and popular media that the vast majority of children whose gender identity differs from their assigned birth-sex, or who are severely distressed by their birth-sex, will "desist" in their gender identities and gender dysphoria by adolescence. As a consequence, gender dysphoric children are pressed to remain in their birth-assigned roles throughout the world. But are gender dysphoria and diverse gender identities just a phase?
This presentation reexamines research in Canada and The Netherlands that underlies the "desistence" axiom, with respect to methodological rigor and validity of claims.
Conclusions:
(1) Evidence from these studies suggests that the majority of gender nonconforming children are not gender dysphoric adolescents or adults.
(2) It does not support the stereotype that most children who are actually gender dysphoric will "desist" in their gender identities before adolescence.
(3) These studies do acknowledge that intense anatomic dysphoria in childhood may be associated with persistent gender dysphoria and persistent gender identity through adolescence.
(4) Speculation that allowing childhood social transition traps cisgender youth in roles that are incongruent with their identities is not supported by evidence.
(5) These studies fail to examine the diagnostic value of Real Life Experience in congruent gender roles for gender dysphoric children.

HEALTH POLICY AND ETHICS
Facilitating HIV Disclosure
Facilitating HIV Disclosure Across Diverse Settings: A Review
Carla Makhlouf Obermeyer, DSc, Parijat Baijal, MA, and Elisabetta Pegurri, MSc
HIV status disclosure is cen-
tral to debates about HIV be-
cause of its potential for HIV
prevention and its links to pri-
vacy and confidentiality as hu-
man-rights issues.
Our review of the HIV-dis-
closure literature found that
few people keep their status
completely secret; disclosure
tends to be iterative and to be
higher in high-income coun-
tries; gender shapes disclosure
motivations and reactions; in-
voluntary disclosure and low
levels of partner disclosure
highlight the difficulties faced
by health workers; the mean-
ing and process of disclosure
differ across settings; stigmati-
zation increases fears of disclo-
sure; and the ethical dilemmas
resulting from competing
values concerning confidenti-
ality influence the extent to
which disclosure can be facil-
itated.
Our results suggest that
structural changes, including
making more services avail-
able, could facilitate HIV dis-
closure as much as individual
approaches and counseling
do. (Am J Public Health. 2011;
101:1011–1023. doi:10.2105/
AJPH.2010.300102)
THE TOPIC OF HIV STATUS
disclosure is central to debates
about HIV, because of its links to
confidentiality and privacy as hu-
man-rights issues and its potential
role in prevention.1 Disclosure is
also considered a way to ‘‘open up’’
the HIV epidemic2 and hence is
a crucial step toward ending stigma
and discrimination against people
living with HIV and AIDS
(PLWHA). Recognizing its impor-
tance, a number of researchers
have reviewed the literature on
disclosure by women,3 by men,4 or
by parents to children.5 Others
have reviewed what is known
about the factors associated with
disclosure, including the connec-
tions among stigma, disclosure, and
social support for PLWHA6; the
links among disclosure, personal
identity, and relationships7; and
client and provider experiences
with HIV partner counseling and
referral.8 We sought to comple-
ment existing reviews by including
available information on low- and
middle-income countries, which are
poorly represented in all but 1 of
the extant literature reviews, and by
focusing on the role of health ser-
vices and health care providers in
HIV disclosure.
Recently, increased attention to
transmission within serodiscordant
couples has highlighted the po-
tential role of disclosure as a way
to encourage prevention.9 More-
over, as countries scale up HIV
testing, counseling, and treatment,
better evidence is needed to inform
laws and policies, particularly re-
garding how best to facilitate dis-
closure while protecting medical
confidentiality. Ongoing debates
about mandatory disclosure to
partners, health workers’ role in
disclosing without patients’ consent,
and the criminalization of HIV
transmission raise important ques-
tions about the place of disclosur ...

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance.

2. Learning Objectives
To understand current epidemiology of
transgender populations.
To understand driving factors of HIV risk
among transgender women.
To understand protective factors against
negative health outcomes among
transgender people.
3. How many trans people are there?
No population-based studies = no reliable
estimate of the number of trans people in
the US
All current population estimates are based
on those receiving the GID diagnosis
and/or those seeking services at gender
clinics (i.e. self-identified as transsexual population
estimates)
4. How many trans people are there?
Range of current worldwide estimates:
MTF
1 2
1 in 30,000 (.003%) to 6 in 1,000 (.6%)
FTM
1 3
1 in 100,000 (.001%) to 1 in 33,800 (.003%)
1. American Psychiatric Association, 1994
2. Winter, 2002
3. DeCuypere et al, 2007
5. Data Collection Challenges
Reliance on the binary system of
classification (i.e. M, F, MTF, FTM)
misclassification and exclusion of gender
variance
Social stigma fear of disclosure and
avoidance of medical settings
Living ‘stealth’ or ‘post-transsexual’
identity
6. Data collection recommendations
The Center of Excellence for Transgender
HIV Prevention (www.transhealth.ucsf.edu)
makes the following recommendation for
trans-inclusive data collection:
What is your current gender identity?
What was your assigned sex at birth?
7. HIV Prevalence
Among Trans People
No national estimates
Regional studies have relied almost
exclusively on convenience samples (i.e.
participants recruited from social service agencies, bars, and
streets)
Studies have focused on trans women;
very little information is available on trans
men
8. HIV Prevalence
Among Trans People
1
A recent meta-analysis of 29 regional studies in the US
concludes that:
Average prevalence for trans women is
28% or 1 in 4 (when results are lab-confirmed)
12% or 1 in 8 (by self report)
African American transwomen have the highest prevalence
2,3
(56%), compared to other racial/ethnic groups

2. Clements, Marx, Guzman & Katz, 2001
3. Nemoto et al, 2004
9. HIV Prevalence
Among Trans People
Predictors of HIV positive status among
transwomen:
African-American race 1,2
Syphilis 1
Intravenous drug use 2
High number of sex partners (>200) 2
Less than high school education 2
History of sex work 3
History of sexual assault 3
Unemployment 3

10. Transgender women and HIV
A study of four US cities found that
transgender women living with HIV
were less likely to receive highly
active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
than a non-transgender control group
(59% vs. 82%, p < .001).
(Melendez et al, 2005)
11. Hormone therapy for trans people living
with HIV
There are no significant drug interactions
with drugs used to treat HIV.
Several HIV medications change the levels
of estrogens.
Hormone therapy is not contraindicated in
HIV disease at any stage.
Hormone therapy can increase adherence
to HIV medications.
12. Sex work / Survival sex
Denied
opportunities:
HIV
Education Survival sex work
risk
Employment
Job Training
(Sausa et. al, 2007, Kammerer et. al, 2001, Clements, 1999; Clements-
Nolle et. al, 2001)
13. Sex work
A recent multi-national meta-analysis of
studies found that 28% of transgender
female sex workers were HIV-
positive.
(Operario et. al, 2008)
15. Victoria Arellano (1984-2007)
Mexican transgender woman
who immigrated to the US
as a child
Died in custody of the Dept.
of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, while
handcuffed to a bunk in a
men’s facility, of AIDS-
related complications due to
denial of proper treatment
17. Factors Driving HIV Transmission
in Transgender Women
• Social Stigma
→ Discrimination, Harassment, Violence
→ Unemployment, Lack of Health Insurance,
→ Poverty, Homelessness
• Gender Identity Validation through Sex
→ Multiple sex partners, unprotected sex
• Survival Sex Work
→ Unprotected Sex, Substance Use
• Lack of Appropriate Medical Care
→ Lack of medical screening, including HIV/STDs,
increased morbidity risks
18. Factors Driving HIV Transmission
in Transgender Women
• Culturally incompetent prevention methods
• Multiple injection risks (IDU, ISU, IHU)
• Barriers to access to transgender care
→ self-medication through street hormones, ISU
• Reluctance by MSM-serving AIDS service organizations to
include trans people

Transgender man living
with HIV
Parent and activist
Co-organizer of Gender
Odyssey (Seattle, WA),
“a national conference
focused on the thoughtful
exploration of gender”.
21. Transgender men and HIV
Very few studies of trans people have
included transmen.
Some transgender men engage in high-risk sex,
including having a high number of anonymous
partners and engaging in sex work with non-
trans men. (Sevelius, under review)
Estimates of HIV prevalence amond
transmen range from 1 - 3%
(Clements-Nolle et al, 2001; Sevelius, under review; Xavier, 2005)
22. Social support and mental health
(Clements-Nolle et. al, 2006; Garofalo et. al, 2006)
In a San Francisco-based sample,
55% of transgender men were depressed,
32% reported having attempted suicide at least once.
(Clements-Nolle et. al, 2001)
23. Mental health
In one study of 446 transmen, those who
had received hormone therapy reported
higher quality of life than those who did
not. (Newfield, Hart, Dibble, & Kohler, 2006)
Hormone therapy alone can alleviate
depression for some transgender people.
(Bockting, Knudson, & Goldberg, 2006)
24. Protective factors
Family acceptance
Social support
Self-esteem
Access to competent health care
Access to gender confirming hormone
therapy and other gender-related care
Community involvement
