Social Determinants
Credibility 80

June 1, 2026 · AIDS (London, England)
Key takeaway
Black transgender people on Medicare face the highest HIV rates due to facing both racism and transphobia. This shows how overlapping discrimination deeply harms health in our community.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in social determinants helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
