这项研究的目的是通过调查和全球定位系统(UPS)监测，评估纽约市变性人女性样本(n=14)的流动模式。我们发现，居住社区和每个非居住环境之间存在不同程度的一致性：64.3%的人认为他们最常交往的社区与他们居住的社区不同。而参与者的住所代表10个区域改善计划代码制表区(ZCTA)。263个ZCTA中有124个记录了GPS数据(47.1%)。总体而言，在人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)流行率最高的四分位数中，ZCTA记录到了58.2%(n=373,262)。地方、社区艾滋病毒流行率、流动性和增加变性人妇女感染艾滋病毒易感性的因素之间的关系值得进一步研究，以减轻这些社区艾滋病毒流行的负担。
The aim of this study was to assess mobility patterns among a sample of transgender women (n = 14) in New York City via survey and Global Positioning System (UPS) monitoring. We found varying levels of concordance between the residential neighbourhood and each of the non-residential contexts: 64.3% considered the neighbourhood that they socialised in most often to be different from their residential neighbourhood. While participants' residences represented 10 zone improvement plan code tabulation areas (ZCTAs). GPS data were recorded in 124 of 263 ZCTAs (47.1%). Overall, 58.2% (n = 373,262) were recorded in ZCTAs in the highest quartile of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence. The association between place, community HIV prevalence, mobility, and factors that increase the vulnerability of transgender women to HIV infection are worthy of future investigation in reducing the burden of the HIV epidemic in these communities.
