目的：多米尼加共和国（DR）的跨性别妇女（TW）感染梅毒的风险很高。方法：2016年，我们在全国范围内开展了一项调查，在DR（n=255）中进行了TW的血清学采样。结果：在我们的样本中，梅毒血清学阳性率为47.45%。年龄（t=-2.93，df，p<0.01）、逮捕史（χ2= 8.15，p <0.01）、接触暴力（χ2= 3.73，p <0.05）和梅毒血清阳性之间存在统计学显著相关。多因素分析显示，近6个月内被捕的TW患者血清学阳性率较高（OR =2.05，CI：1.04- 4.06，p <0.05）。
Purpose:Transgender women (TW) in the Dominican Republic (DR) are at high risk for syphillis infection. Although treatable, infection rates remain at epidemic proportions.Methods:In 2016, we conducted a national survey, with serological sampling of TW in the DR (n=255).Results:In our sample, syphillis seropositivity was 47.45%. There was a statistically significant association between age (t=−2.93, df,p<0.01), arrest history (χ2=8.15,p<0.01), exposure to violence (χ2=3.73,p<0.05), and syphilis seropositivity. Multivariate analyses show TW arrested in the past 6 months have higher odds of seropositivity (odds ratio=2.05, confidence interval: 1.04–4.06,p<0.05).Conclusions:There is a need for education and public health campaigns focused on TW specifically.
