Abstract Summary
In the context of demonstrated health disparities among transgender women living with HIV, particularly Black and Latina transgender women living with HIV, this postdoctoral research program will leverage existing data from the first United States National Institutes of Health-funded longitudinal cohort of Black and Latina transgender women living with HIV (LITE Plus), to investigate the stress pathway linking multi-level stigma, multi-dimensional stress and premature aging for this HIV key population. Specific objectives are to: (1) investigate the impact of multi-level intersectional stigma on perceived stress; (2) quantify the correlation between perceived stress and physiologic stress; and (3) analyze the effect of perceived stress on premature aging for Black and Latina transgender women living with HIV.
