Many myths arise from a lack of understanding and instruction about the transgender population, and nurses must understand all the nuances of transgender people in order to reduce their stigma. |

Nurses and other health professionals are unaware of the transgender population, and unfortunately, there are still examples of nurses who refuse to adequately treat this population. |
Nurses need to develop cultural skills with respect to transgenderism and recognize that transgender people have a unique culture. Invisibility of transgender people causes negative effects on health care provided to this population. |

To know the needs of transgender people about the HIV perspective and analyzing how links between multiprofessional team and transgender patients interfere with compliance with the treatment and assimilation of HIV information. |
Transgender people and community health nurses together have led to a greater understanding of HIV prevention and treatment needs, improved individual health outcomes and recognition of the need for institutional change to address this population. |
Best practices may make transgender-specific care services less necessary because all Primary Care providers and health institutions would be empowered to care for this population. In order to respond to persistent health disparities experienced by transgender individuals, establishing strategic partnerships with community members is an essential tool. |
