National guidelines recommend annual sexually transmitted infection testing for sexually active people living with human immunodeficiency virus, including transgender women. Using data from the US Medical Monitoring Project during 2015–2019, in the previous 12 months, 63.3% of sexually active transgender women who were human immunodeficiency virus positive were tested for syphilis, 56.6% for chlamydia, and 54.4% for gonorrhea.
