abstract="INTRODUCTION: Transgender women (TGW) experience high prevalence of depression worldwide. <br><br>METHODS: This study analyzed the prevalence and correlates of depressive symptoms among 61 HIV + TGW (age: M = 29.87 years, SD = 6.51) from Argentina; through questionnaires assessing psychosocial vulnerability, gender identity stigma (GIS) and violence, mental health, substance use, and protective factors. <br><br>RESULTS: Half of the respondents showed significant depressive symptoms. In the multivariable logistic regression model, unstable housing, GIS from police, anxiety, and lifetime suicide attempts predicted increased odds of depressive symptoms. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The role of institutional GIS and psychosocial vulnerability in the development of depression should be considered in HIV and mental health care for TGW. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
