Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand and describe the nature of internet advertisements of transgender sex workers, and how demand drives the configuration of their services. An analysis of the offer-demand contents (n = 257) was carried out on a sexual contact website. Five categories were identified: sociodemographic characteristics, supply management, sexual services, health and clients. The results include risk factors associated with public health and social exclusion within this group. The results may inform strategies for developing socio-health interventions targeted towards transgender women in the situation of prostitution.
