This volume presents the first collection of reports on the impact of HIV\/AIDS on the transgender community worldwide. It includes a thorough description of the unique HIV risks of transgender people and exposes their largely neglected health and social service needs. This unique book also reports on the first generation of prevention interventions targeting this community, discusses guidelines for providing sex reassignment services to HIV-positive transsexuals, and encourages collaboration between communities at risk, researchers, and people in the helping professions.The social stigma faced by this population adds to their risk of HIV infection. Low self-esteem, rejection, neglect, employment discrimination, disenfranchisement, and a desire for acceptance and validation are all contributing factors. Yet, as the editors point out, \"On the positive side, the transgender community has been able to mobilize and empower itself, and has found a voice that no longer can be ignored. We call on transgender and nontransgender people alike to work together to advance HIV prevention and promote our sexual health.\"In Transgender and HIV you'll encounter: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e extensive discussions of the health, social service, and HIV prevention needs of the transgender community \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e tips on how to work with marginalized communities in an empowering way \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e explorations of the sexuality of both male-to-female and female-to-male transsexuals \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e first-ever findings on sex reassignment surgery on HIV-positive individuals \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e guidelines for surgery on HIV-positive transsexuals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransgender and HIV provides much-needed and often-requested information on HIV prevalence, risks, prevention, and care for this increasingly visible community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Bockting,Sheila Kirk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0789012677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780789012678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 93","brand":"Walter Bockting","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065120403711,"sku":"9780789012678","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cba492dd-6f94-478c-848f-0b4a0d285f09.jpg?v=1768673126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transgender-and-hiv-walter-bockting-9780789012678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
