为了研究性别对HIV风险的影响，通过互联网招募了美国跨性别人群（N = 1229）的样本。艾滋病毒的风险和流行率低于先前对局部城市样本的研究报告，但高于美国总人口。研究结果表明，性别不一致本身并不会导致艾滋病毒风险明显增加。对于男变女（MtF）和女变男（FtM）参与者来说，与非变性男性发生性行为是不安全性行为的最强独立预测因子。这些性关系构成了一个可能肯定或质疑性别认同和性取向的过程，对mtf和ftm分别有不同的侧重点。
To study the influence of gender on HIV risk, a sample of the U.S. transgender population (N = 1,229) was recruited via the Internet. HIV risk and prevalence were lower than reported in prior studies of localized, urban samples but higher than the overall U.S. population. Findings suggest that gender nonconformity alone does not itself result in markedly higher HIV risk. Sex with nontransgender men emerged as the strongest independent predictor of unsafe sex for both male-to-female (MtF) and female-to-male (FtM) participants. These sexual relationships constitute a process that may either affirm or problematize gender identity and sexual orientation, with different emphases for MtFs and FtMs, respectively.
