WSW have higher rates of
- breast cancer d/t lack of access to care (offer mammogram if > 40 yrs old)
- use less barriers = higher STI risk
screenings for transgender men
- same screening guide for cervical cancer, breast cancer
- except mastectomy or cervix remove = no Pap needed
- Screening HPV-related cancers
in transgender patients, self swab can be used for
those that want more control over their screening process
don’t do speculum exam if it’s just STI screening (urine or self swab ok) for gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichmonas
what is a safe birth control for transgender males?
IUDs
is testosterone okay in pregnancy
no! teratogen

what is PrEP?
preventative option for women who are HIV negative and use injection drugs, women whose partner have HIV, and those who are at substantial risk for contracting HIV
How should PrEP be taken?
- taken every day
- oral fixed dose combination of tenofovir disoproxil fumatarate (TDF) 300 mg and emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg
- in conjunction with risk reducing service sand behavior changes (safer sex practices)

- Normal renal function
- Hepatitis B Serology
- every 3 month:
- HIV test
- Pregnancy screening and assess pregnancy intent
- Every 3 to 6 months

- Kidney function test every 6 months
- For PrEP users who have chronic hepatitis B infection, HBV DNA test every 6 to 12 months while prescribed PrEP
what is PEP?
post exposure prophylaxis
taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) after HIV exposure; 72 hrs after exposure
3 ART meds for 28 days
when does the USPHS suggest someone can start PrEP?
negative HIV antibody test (4th gen test), no s/sx of acute retroviral syndrome in previous 4 weeks
for transgender women: goal of feminizing hormone therapy? what meds are there?
- develop female secondary sex characteristic and suppress male characteristics
- estradiol - (embolism risk)
- spironolactone - block testosterone
- finasteride (5 alpha reductase inhibitors) - blocks testosterone
-
GnRH agonists - shuts down LH and FSH
- blocks testosterone
what labs do you monitor in transgender women
- Total testosterone
- < 100
- Prolactin levels
- prolactin tumor
- CBC (anemia)
- Will have lower H&H and RBC
- Testosterone makes more RBC so not anemic
- lab can say abnormal but it’s normal for her
- CMP
- monitor elevated K
Informed consent/Risks of meds for transgender women
- Venothrombotic events (VTE)
- DVT and PE
- WILL see anemia but it’s actually the range we expect from a woman
- infertility
- Reproductive preservation options
- Mood changes
- from estrogen
- prolactinoma

- Decrease in muscle mass
- Cessation of spermatogenesis****
MTF: change at 10 months - 4 years with estrogen/test therapy?
