Transgender Persons, Vulnerability Analysis, Social VulnerabilityAbstract
Sexual vulnerability is structured based on situations that closely affect the free, conscious, and timely decision-making related to sexuality and the effective enjoyment of it, the limitations of access to guarantees and services that contribute to good health, and the scarce social support, which are exacerbated in the transgender population. To generate profiles of sexual vulnerability risk in this population, a cross-sectional observational study and a multiple correspondence analysis were conducted with a sample of 217 transgender women from the city of Medellin (Colombia). Three profiles were defined according to the level of risk, low, medium, and high. According to the profiles, it is evident that low sexual vulnerability in the transgender women population is related to protective factors and practices, such as not engaging in sex work, knowing their HIV status, having social support if needed, and having few sexual partners; while practices such as low adherence to condom use and sex work are related to increased risk of sexual vulnerability.
