During the 1980s and 1990s, the HIV/AIDS epidemic disproportionately affected gay men, but trans people—especially trans women of color and those in sex work—also faced high infection rates. Activist groups like ACT UP included trans members, fostering solidarity. However, trans-specific health needs were often overlooked.
