Colchero, 2015 (63) | Peer reviewed | NR | “In three of the centers, transgender women and gay men live in an independent wing, which is separated from where other men live. In the remaining center, most of the transgender women were found at the same wing where people with HIV live. All people living with HIV and AIDS in prisons in Mexico City are transferred to this wing in this prison” (p. s101). | “In detention centers, as verbally expressed by transgender women that declined to participate, non-participation was related to the fear of getting an HIV-positive result, and particularly associated with the anxiety of been transferred to the only prison that offers HIV treatment in the city, which is perceived as having a very violent environment” (p. s102). |

Valenta, 1992 (61) | Peer reviewed | “In 1987, prison policy was for inmates who presented proof of being treated with estrogens or progestogens prior to incarceration to continue to receive treatment while in prison. This was discontinued in 1988 due to concerns about risk of high blood pressure, elevated lipids, and thromboembolic disease. Hormone therapy was abruptly stopped in all inmates” (p. 242). | NR | NR |
