Transgender people (and transgender female sex workers) continue to experience stigma that robs them of respect, economic opportunities, and dignity.[44–49] These experiences have detrimental effects on the health and wellbeing of transgender people.[44–49] Experienced stigma, discrimination and physical violence may reduce the likelihood of condom use, increase engagement in highly risky sexual behaviors, and in turn, increase rates of HIV and STIs in transgender populations.[21,44–45,48–49] The vulnerabilities experienced by transgender persons, especially transgender persons in resource-constrained settings such as in the Dominican Republic, could be partially addressed through understanding of impact of policies that indirectly promote or allow harm to transgender citizens and subsequently diminish the effectiveness of public health and education interventions that are funded both by domestic and global agencies that seek to contain the HIV epidemic.[44] By taking these actions through the revocation of such laws and making these societally relevant commitments, the Dominican Republic has the opportunity to improve overall population health, to protect some of its most stigmatized citizens, and to become the flag bearer of enhanced human rights in the Caribbean and Latin America.
