Exploring healthcare experiences of transgender people in the Jabula Uzibone study, South Africa: a longitudinal implementation science study
TGP from TG-DSD facilities were less likely to report experiences of facility-based enacted stigma at baseline, compared to the TGP from SSD facilities. Our study highlights the importance of provider training in tailored transgender healthcare to provide gender-affirming healthcare services. Results from the Jabula Uzibone study will provide further evidence of the effectiveness of TG-DSD models in sub-Saharan Africa, and the role of stigma and discrimination in HIV outcomes among TGP.
