Summary
This study tested a program called Manas por Manas to help transgender women in São Paulo, Brazil, overcome stigma and access HIV testing and PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV). The program included group sessions led by peers and one-on-one support. Researchers compared HIV testing and PrEP use between women who received the program and those who did not. The goal was to see if reducing stigma leads to better prevention.
