abstract="Many transgender individuals report violence directed against them. This study examined violence inflicted on transgender Latinas with HIV by primary partners, sexual partners and acquaintances/strangers. Logistic regression was used for analysis. 150 transgender Latinas were recruited. Rates of violence from different perpetrator types were 47-50%. For violence by primary partners, social support from cisgender people was associated with a lower likelihood of violence (AOR 0.56; CI 0.32, 0.98; p < 0.05). For violence by sexual partners, a history of childhood sexual abuse was associated with a higher likelihood of violence (AOR 2.64; CI 1.10, 6.34; p < 0.05). For violence by acquaintances/strangers, discrimination was associated with a higher likelihood of violence (AOR 2.84; CI 1.16, 6.94; p < 0.05) and social support from cisgender people with a lower likelihood (AOR 0.58; CI 0.37, 0.92; p < 0.05). Interventions are needed at individual, institutional and systemic levels to eradicate such violence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
