Keywords: transgender people; men who have sex with men; key and vulnerable populations; human rights; HIV prevention; Africa EN transgender people men who have sex with men key and vulnerable populations human rights HIV prevention Africa 1 2 2 02/05/21 20210101 NES 210101 We appreciate the letter in response to the recent I JIAS i supplement on engaging African men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) who have sex with men in HIV research. In 2019, I JIAS i published the first HIV incidence estimate among a small group of TGW from Kenya as 20.6 (95% confidence interval 6.6 to 63.8) cases per 100 person-years (PY), and several-fold higher than incidence estimates among MSM [3]. The recent I JIAS i supplement has added two new HIV incidence estimates among TGW from South Africa (31.0 [3.7 to 111.2]/100PY) and TGW from Nigeria (23.8 [13.6 to 39.1]/100PY), confirming an exceptional burden of new HIV infections among African TGW [4,5].
