Abstract: This research aims to determine the suicide attempt in HIV-positive female transgenders. The study was observational, transversal, and analytical, conducted in the department of Managua with the HIV positive trans women population. The sample was of convenience, equal to the universe established by MINSA in its Report on the Epidemiological Situation of HIV 2015. The statistical method used was Correspondence Analysis. It was determined that 52.5% have tried to suicide since the age of fourteen, 47.5% have tried from one to three times and 4.9% have tried from four to ten times. It was established that in the last six months 32.8% had suicidal thoughts and planned to do so by different means: ingesting aluminum phosphide pills, hanging, cutting off their pulse, ingesting acetylsalicylic acid tablets and acetaminophen. It was evidenced that 52.5% of HIV-positive female transgenders attempted suicide since the age of fourteen and 36.1% attempted suicide in the last six months. It is concluded that the data found are higher than those reported in international studies on the suicide attempt of trans females.
