Multiple strategies to identify HIV‐positive black men who have sex with men and transgender women in New York City: a cross‐sectional analysis of recruitment results

摘要

IntroductionBlack men who have sex with men and transgender women are at high risk for HIV infection, but are more likely to be unaware of their infection or not in care for diagnosed HIV compared to other races. Respondent driven sampling has been advanced as a method to reach stigmatized and hidden populations for HIV testing. We compared strategies to recruit black, substance‐using men who have sex with men and transgender women to identify newly diagnosed HIV infection, or those previously diagnosed but not in care.
