虽然变性人妇女已被确定为艾滋病毒预防和治疗的全球优先人群，但人们对变性人妇女的顺性男性伴侣知之甚少，包括他们的性行为和艾滋病毒感染率。之前的研究表明，这些男性伴侣的身份和性行为各不相同，这使得识别和参与研究变得困难。本文描述了对15名顺性男性的采访，他们报告了最近在秘鲁利马与变性人女性发生的性行为。这项研究的目的是探索这些男性如何报告他们的身份和性行为，以更好地了解他们将如何与艾滋病毒宣传、研究和护理互动。主要主题是性取向和身份；对变性人伴侣的看法；与变性人妇女和MSTW的社会联系；关系的披露；艾滋病毒知识和风险认知；以及对干预措施的态度。我们发现，在这群人中，用于评估性取向的语言是有问题的，因为取向和报告的行为之间缺乏一致性，而且不熟悉用于描述性取向的术语。此外，耻辱、缺乏艾滋病毒预防方法的知识以及害怕披露性行为被确定为可能影响参与艾滋病毒研究、预防和护理的障碍。然而，参与者报告了与变性人女性和其他有变性人伴侣的男性的社会关系，这为招募艾滋病毒研究和医疗保健服务人员提供了可能的途径。
While transgender women have been identified as a global priority population for HIV prevention and treatment, little is known about the cisgender male partners of transgender women, including their sexual behavior and HIV prevalence. Previous research has suggested that these male partners have varied identities and sexual behavior, which make identifying and engaging them in research difficult. This paper describes interviews conducted with fifteen cisgender men who reported recent sexual activity with transgender women in Lima, Peru. The purpose of this research was to explore how these men reported their identities and sexual behavior, to better understand how they would interact with HIV outreach, research, and care. The major themes were sexual orientation and identity; view of transgender partners; social ties to transgender women and MSTW; disclosure of relationships; HIV knowledge and risk perception; and attitudes toward interventions. We found that language used to assess sexual orientation was problematic in this population, due to lack of consistency between orientation and reported behavior, and unfamiliarity with terms used to describe sexual orientation. In addition, stigma, lack of knowledge of HIV prevention methods, and fear of disclosure of sexual behavior were identified as barriers that could impact engagement in HIV research, prevention, and care. However, participants reported social relationships with both transgender women and other men who have transgender partners, presenting possible avenues for recruitment into HIV research and healthcare services.
