CDC: One in Seven Transgender Women Have HIV

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a “Dear Colleague” letter Wednesday with warnings about the high prevalence and risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among transgender individuals.

“Transgender women and men are at high risk for getting HIV,” stated CDC in the letter signed by Eugene McCray, M.D. and Jonathan H. Mermin, M.D., MPH, of the agency’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention.

CDC, a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), stated:
According to current estimates, about 1 in 7 (14%) transgender women have HIV, and the percentage is much higher among black/African American (44%) and Hispanic/Latina (26%) transgender women.* An estimated 3% of transgender men have HIV.

There is no such thing as a "Trans-gender" woman, it is a man dressed up as a woman! A mentally ill freak! They not only are sick in the head, but now carry contagious diseases! God needs to destroy them all! He is trying, by giving them AID's.

What's the cause of so many being exposed to HIV? Behavior.

A lot of them become prostitutes to "pay for" surgeries.
