Research on HIV and Transfeminine Folx

I'd like to share a research study currently seeking participants in case anyone following our work could benefit.

The Division of Infectious Diseases at Emory's School of Medicine is excited to be launching a new study, the Explore Study, specifically aimed towards learning more about HIV in transgender populations. 

This study aims to understand the effect of feminizing hormones on the tissues that line the rectum among 3 groups. 

Basic qualifications for The Explore Study are as follows:

Group 1:
-Transgender woman who has sex with men ages 18-59
-HIV Negative
-Taking gender affirmation hormones for at least 6 months

Group 2:
-​Transgender woman who has sex with men ages 18-59
-HIV Negative
-Not currently taking gender affirmation hormones but plans to in the next 6 months

Group 3:
-Cisgender men who has sex with men ages 18-59
-HIV Negative

Note: All volunteers are compensated for their participation.

To participate in the study, contact Lana Brooks lnbrook@emory.edu or Jessica Swiniarski jessicaswiniarski@emory.edu or call their office.
