HIV positive transgender women face discrimination in health services, which leads to exclusion in access to prevention and treatment services, this represents higher rates of morbidity and mortality. This public health problem can be solved as deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis can be avoided with low-cost prophylactic treatment.
In Latin America there have been few studies of coinfection in transfeminine women and in Nicaragua there is little history of scientific research that provides information for decision-making in the approach to this health problem.
This work was carried out in Managua from November 2017 to April 2018. Its purpose was analyzing the factors that affect access to health care for HIV-positive trans people in Managua. It adopted the quantitative paradigm, which included a survey of 61 HIV-positive trans women.
The results represent a scientific contribution to understand the situation experienced by this population group of sexual diversity, in order to create awareness in national health authorities, the national and international scientific community, as well as society in general.
