Key Points

  • The study aims to identify the risks associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) among trans women involved in sex work.
  • Sample includes trans women engaged in sex work in San Francisco from 2023 to 2024.
  • Data analyzed for age-related odds of IPV and substance use patterns.
  • Statistical analyses carried out to assess associations between demographics and IPV.
  • Younger trans women (ages 18-39) have significantly higher odds of experiencing IPV (aOR 9.38, p < 0.001).
  • Trans women using methamphetamine show increased IPV risk (aOR 4.82, p = 0.004).
  • Economic interventions that reduce reliance on sex work could help prevent violence.

Abstract

= 10.08, p = 0.001) than those not engaged in sex work. Among trans women engaged in sex work, those aged 18-39 years (vs. ≥ 40, aOR 9.38, p < 0.001) and those using methamphetamine (vs. none, aOR 4.82, p = 0.004) had higher odds of IPV. Results point to an unmet need for IPV and trauma services focused on trans women who engage in sex work. Economic interventions that reduce reliance on sex work for income may present the best opportunity for violence prevention.
