Indonesia
There is no available data on the population of trans people in Indonesia. Even HIV prevalence estimates are limited in trans populations as they are often subsumed under MSM key populations. Of the data that is available, HIV prevalence rates for trans people in Indonesia especially Transpuan are extraordinarily high at 24.8% nationally, and 34% in the highest burdened province Jakarta, especially when compared to the general population of adults (between 15-49 years) which is 0.4%.11 This is in large part due to discrimination and criminalisation of their gender identity and sexual orientation, their engagement in high risk employment such as sex work and a lack of trans-competent and trusted HCPs across the country.
