About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The prevalence of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) is very high in the trans population, due to multifactorial components.

Read full original descriptionShow less

The main risk factors for HIV in this population are unprotected receptive and insertive anal intercourse, multiple sexual partners, sex work, needles share for injecting drugs and hormones.

Physical violence, sexual assault and lack of social and family support are supplementary social risk factors.

Healthcare access is very limited in this socio-economic context. The population of transgender persons and their transmission chains (partners, clients, etc.) are highly exposed to HIV risk, but they are still "hidden" populations, not targeted by prevention programs.

Innovative preventive strategies can improve sexual health services access for these specific populations.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Population of the "escort clients" dating strategy

    Dating site users (trans sex workers and their clients)

  • Population of the RDS strategy (Respondent Driven Sampling)

    Seeds: trans SW on sex work followed-up in health programs of Bichat Acceptess- T. Seeds with regular follow-up and regular clients will be preferred. Fruits: clients invited by trans SW to participate to E-PrevenT programs
