2001年在芝加哥对变性人进行了需求评估，以评估他们感染艾滋病毒的风险、健康和社会服务需求以及获得护理的障碍。111名变性人，78名男性对女性（MTF）和33名女性对男性（FTM）参与了这项研究。14%的受访者报告艾滋病毒呈阳性;他们都是男性对女性，大多数是有色人种。艾滋病毒的风险因素包括无保护措施的性行为和愿意在未来发生高风险性行为。受访者经历了严重的暴力行为。三分之二的受访者曾想过自杀。受访者报告了对健康和社会服务的高度需求，特别是MTF和有色人种。(C)出版社：The Haworth Press，Inc. All rights reserved.
A needs assessment of transgender people was conducted in Chicago in 2001 to assess their HIV risks, health and social service needs, and barriers to care. One hundred and eleven transgender individuals, 78 male-to-females (MTFs) and 33 female-to-males (FTMs), participated in the study. Fourteen percent of respondents reported being HIV-positive; they were all male-to-female and the majority was of color. Risk factors for HIV included unprotected sex and willingness to have high-risk sex in the future. Respondents experienced high levels of violence. Two-thirds of respondents had thought of attempting suicide. Respondents reported a high need for health and social services, particularly MTFs and people of color.
