Transgender communities in the United States (US) are among the groups at highest risk for HIV infection.

Because surveillance data for this population are not uniformly collected, information is lacking on how many transgender people in the US are infected with HIV. However, data collected by local health departments and scientists studying transgender people show high HIV positivity.
