Michigan PrEP Series Trainings

  • Trans Men and PrEP
    Few studies consider transgender women, and even fewer consider transgender men as a specific group, but of those that do, they reveal alarmingly high rates of HIV infection. Although transgender men are less likely to contract HIV than transgender women, their rates of HIV are still higher than that of the general population. This session of the Michigan PrEP Series is a facilitated discussion on assumptions around sexual behaviors of gay, queer, non-binary and trans men, the differences between trans-masculine and trans-femme people, and the ways PrEP can benefit these communities.
