Summary

This trial aims to help transgender women living with HIV access feminizing hormone therapy and determine the best HIV treatment regimens for them.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult transgender women and transfeminine individuals living with HIV who have been on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 24 weeks. They must have a stable viral load, normal organ function tests, no history of certain cancers or clotting disorders, and not be taking other hormone therapies outside the study.
What is being tested?
The GET IT RiGHT trial studies how well HIV treatment works when taken alongside feminizing hormone therapy (FHT), specifically estradiol. It checks if ART maintains its effectiveness and measures estradiol levels in participants over a period of 48 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from estradiol may include mood changes, weight gain, blood clots, elevated liver enzymes, nausea, headaches, and increased risk of certain types of cancer.
