Trans Women and HIV - Rusi Jaspal - Bog

This book explores the social psychological aspects of trans women¿s experiences of living with HIV in the UK. Drawing on theories from social psychology, the author provides a fine-grained analysis of the EXTRA Study ¿ one of the first in-depth empirical studies of trans women¿s experiences of living with HIV in the UK.
Trans Women and HIV: Social Psychological Perspectives examines issues of identity, threat and coping among trans women ¿ a key population in the HIV epidemic ¿ and presents a model for describing and predicting health outcomes in this population. Underpinned by the Health Adversity Risk Model, this book examines the role of psychological constructs, such as identity, risk and stigma, in behaviour and psychological wellbeing. This informative and thought-provoking text is an invaluable resource for scholars, clinicians and students working in the fields of HIV and trans health.
