Do Geographic Barriers and Community Vulnerability Impact PrEP Use Among Transgender Latinas in the US South? Findings from the ChiCAS Study.
Trial report in AIDS and behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transgender (trans) Latinas in the United States face disproportionately higher HIV rates and persistently low use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) despite awareness. While geographic access to PrEP has been identified as a barrier in other populations, little is known about how spatial access and community-level vulnerability shape PrEP use among trans Latinas in the US South. Using data from the randomized intervention-waitlist control trial of ChiCAS (N = 144), we examined (1) proximity to Spanish-language PrEP providers, (2) neighborhood vulnerability using the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), Structural Racism Effect Index (SREI), and the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE), and (3) their associations with PrEP use among trans Latinas at baseline and 6-month follow-up. Multivariable models tested whether baseline contextual factors modified intervention effects. Overall, 15.3% of participants lived in a PrEP desert (≥ 30-minute drive to a Spanish-language PrEP provider). Participants resided in highly vulnerable neighborhoods. Neither PrEP desert status nor community-level vulnerability indices were significantly associated with PrEP use at baseline or follow-up. However, SREI significantly moderated intervention effects (interaction adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 4.55; 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.08-19.2), with greater intervention impact in areas of higher structural vulnerability. Findings suggest that structural racism, not geographic proximity, more strongly shape PrEP access and use among trans Latinas. Culturally responsive, bilingual interventions like ChiCAS may be particularly effective in structurally disadvantaged settings. Future efforts must address structural and social determinants alongside spatial access to achieve PrEP equity.
