Results from our National Transgender Discrimination Survey show that transgender individuals have a rate of HIV/AIDS that is more than four times higher than the general population. And, tragically the survey also found that one in four transgender African Americans live with HIV/AIDS.

The Task Force continues to advocate to ensure that community HIV/AIDS service organizations have the funding they so desperately need. We are pleased that this fall, the CDC granted 34 community organizations $55 million over five years to increase HIV prevention services targeting those most at risk, including young men of color, transgender youth and their partners.
