Resumo em Inglês
We would like to highlight the importance of addressing the data gap on monkeypox among travestis and transgender women (TGW) as this viral disease might add to the social vulnerabilities and stigma faced by these populations. We conducted a search in Pubmed for articles containing “monkeypox” AND “transgender” published by October 3, 2022 that revealed only two articles.
From the case series published so far, just a few describe disaggregated data by gender identity. A Spanish cohort of 185 participants registered no monkeypox cases among TGW . Official data from the United States’ Center of Diseases Control showed that TGW represented less than 1% of monkeypox cases identified in the United States.
