Abstract
Transgender (trans) women and women who engage in sex work are groups that face a higher burden of HIV relative to other populations. Women at the intersection of these identities and occupations experience compounded vulnerabilities to the acquisition and transmission of HIV. In this chapter we provide an overview of recent research on HIV prevalence and incidence among transwomen who engage in sex work globally, and the multiple factors contributing to their HIV-related risk and resilience.
