<scp>HIV</scp> diagnosis and treatment outcomes in cis‐ and trans‐gender women across two European centres: A comparative observational study
Cis- and trans-gender women face persistent disparities in HIV diagnosis across European healthcare settings. Later presentation was more common in Padua, reflecting gaps in screening and prevention coverage. Once linked to care, treatment outcomes were similar. Strengthening gender-affirming, context-specific HIV testing and prevention strategies is essential to reduce diagnostic inequities.
