Intended Audience
The intended audience for this toolkit is staff at CBOs, health departments, clinics, and other organizations that currently provide, or are planning to provide, HIV prevention services for transgender WOC. The toolkit may be of use for staff at all levels of an organization, including those at the executive level, program managers, and frontline staff such as those working in HIV testing, linkage, outreach, and programs. It is also intended for clinical providers and staff that provide the range of social support services needed by transgender WOC. A version of this toolkit is available in Spanish.
How to Use This ToolkitThis toolkit is subdivided into 11 topics, which broadly cover concepts relevant to the health and well-being of transgender WOC, and which relate to providing HIV prevention services for this population. Each topic begins with a brief overview, followed by best practices CBOs and other HIV prevention service organizations can follow and adapt for their needs. CBOs can benefit from the entire toolkit. However, topics were created to stand alone, allowing organizations to focus on their specific needs. For example, a CBO may have conducted a successful community needs assessment, but may need support regarding best practices for hiring transgender WOC staff. Additional resources are provided at the end of each topic which may be of use to CBOs in implementing HIV prevention programs for transgender WOC. The toolkit also includes a list of links to government and non-government organizations with information and resources. Finally, the toolkit concludes with a list of elements for model programs that provide HIV prevention services for transgender WOC.
