| Abstract: |
Transgender women and cisgender men who have sex with men (trans-WSM and cis-MSM) comprise the majority of new HIV infections in the Philippines. There is limited research in the Philippines on the relationship between having a provider responsive to the needs of these populations and recent engagement in HIV medical services such as HIV testing and treatment. We used multivariate logistic regression to examine the relationship between having a responsive medical provider and engagement in HIV medical services in the past 12 months among an online sample of 318 trans-WSM and cis-MSM in the Philippines. Participants without a responsive medical provider had lower adjusted odds of recent HIV medical service engagement than those who did (aOR = 0.32, 95% CI [0.16, 0.62], p =.00). In stratified analyses, this relationship was significant for trans-WSM but not cis-MSM. Increasing access to responsive providers in the Philippines could bolster recent engagement with HIV medical services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
