Description
S North and co-authors report, in a 2026 study, how well European and Central Asian countries serve trans people in their HIV responses. Trans people face raised HIV risk and often meet stigma in clinics. The team sent a survey to national HIV focal points across fifty countries, asking about policy, law, prevention programs, and care access for this group.
Fewer than half the countries involve trans people in shaping their HIV strategies. Only two of those reporting keep laws that punish trans people. In half the countries, trans people can get free testing and treatment for sexually spread infections. Hard data on how many trans people are diagnosed, treated, and virus-free stay thin, which blocks any firm read on progress. The authors call trans people the least served of the key groups tracked.
