Sexual minority stigma and sexual health among gay men in Tunisia
Understanding the social factors contributing to HIV transmission among men who have sex with men (MSM) is a critical public health priority. In North African countries like Tunisia, cultural taboos, legal restrictions, and stigma intensify gay men's vulnerability by fostering risky sexual behaviors and limiting access to sexual health services. This qualitative study explores how stigma intersects with sexual risk-taking by integrating perspecti…
Generational perspectives on PrEP, prevention, and sexual practices in MSM (ANRS-PREVENIR cohort)
This study explored perceptions of sexual norms and practices related to HIV prevention and PrEP use among three generations of men who have sex with men (MSM) in the ANRS-PREVENIR cohort in France in 2022. Using a qualitative approach with three focus groups, we identified key themes: societal transformations, evolving sexual norms, and changing attitudes toward PrEP. Participants (29-63 years) belonged to three distinct generational groups: tho…
The influence of locus of control, coping strategies and time perspective on post-traumatic growth in survivors with primary breast cancer
PTG may be increased in BCSs by acting on its modifiable factors. This includes adopting healthy behaviours, such as increasing physical activity and stopping/reducing alcohol consumption, and developing locus of control elements, such as powerful others, and coping strategies, such as positive thinking and seeking social support, through targeted interventions. Further studies, especially longitudinal studies, are needed to confirm the observed …
An epistemological reflection on the psychosocial processes experienced by One Health researchers
In the era of the Anthropocene and the ensuing transitions, the One Health approach is one of the possible answers to rethinking our place on the planet. The aim of this article is to propose an epistemological reflection on the psychosocial processes that concern researchers working with the One Health approach, developing some perspectives that have received limited attention to date. We argue for the importance of making these processes explic…
Correlates of mental health of people living with HIV co-infected with Sars-CoV-2

Data collection comprised digital-based diaries and semi-structured interviews and occurred during physical d…
A Qualitative Double Perspective Investigation of Sexual Orientation Change Efforts Among Homosexual Individuals in Tunisia
Despite the condemnation of the major medical and psychological institutions, which warn of the significant harm associated with sexual orientation change efforts, these practices persist in certain countries. This study investigates the methods and justifications behind sexual orientation change efforts in Tunisia, a country where homosexuality remains stigmatized and criminalized. Qualitative research based on semi-structured face-to-face inter…
The psychiatrists’ religious stance in therapy with LGBT patients in Tunisia

This study explored the religious standpoints of psychiatrists in therapy with LGBT patients in Tunisia. Qualitative research based on semi-structured interviews was conducted. The reflexive thematic analysis originated three major themes: (1) Religious perspectives on homos…
Would shared decision-making be useful in breast cancer screening programmes? A qualitative study using focus group discussions to gather evidence from French women with different socioeconomic backgr…
Limitations in implementing shared decision-making for women from low socioeconomic backgrounds were highlighted. An online tool that is suitable for all women, regardless of socioeconomic status, would provide "on-demand" reliable and tailored information about breast cancer screening and improve access to health professionals and social exchanges

Understanding barriers and facilitators to participation in colorectal cancer screening
Based on the theory of social representations, this study aims to identify the main determinants to participation in colorectal cancer screening. Six focus groups (N = 29 participants belonging to the general population) were conducted, followed by a theoretical thematic analysis. Screening obstacles are a lack of test's accessibility, a low preoccupation for prevention and the negative image of colorectal cancer. Conversely, screening facilitato…
Impact of HIV risk perception on both pre-exposure prophylaxis and condom use
Risk perception is one of the several important factors impacting sexual health behaviours. This study investigated the evolution of HIV risk perception on pre-exposure prophylaxis adherence and condom use in men who have sex with men at high risk of HIV and associated factors. Group-based trajectory modelling helped in identifying patterns of risk perception, pre-exposure prophylaxis adherence and condom use over time. The association between th…

Changes in Sexual Behaviors in Men Who Have Sex with Men
Taking empowerment into account
Empowerment is an ongoing process through which individuals and communities appropriate power and acquire the capability to function autonomously. Research on empowerment in men who have sex with men (MSM) is lacking in community-based contexts. We investigated the relationship between willingness to be empowered and HIV care needs in West African MSM accessing community-based organisations' (CBO) services. Fifty-three interviews were administere…

The past and present of triangulation and social representations theory
This paper examines some of the main processes in the evolution of triangulation in qualitative research (QR) and social representations theory (SRT) in social psychology in recent decades. By adopting a cross-historical approach, we seek to outline how SRT can strengthen its epistemological approach by embracing triangulation, and to highlight that an examination of past and current debates on SRT can provide relevant insights for QR in psycholo…

Self-Esteem and HIV Infection in Morocco
Expériences médicamenteuses et expériences du cancer
La part grandissante des thérapies orales fait apparaître une mutation dans l'organisation du projet thérapeutique en cancérologie. Tandis que l'administration d'une chimiothérapie injectable est assurée par une infirmière, et le plus souvent à l'hôpital, il appartient au patient sous anticancéreux oral de prendre son traitement au domicile, en suivant les recommandations médicales qui lui sont associées. Fondée sur une approche psychosociale, ce…
Perceived health and quality of life
Interest in understanding how atmospheric pollution affects well-being and quality of life has increased during the last ten years.

Was it a Mistake to Tell Others That You are Infected with HIV?”
On-Demand Preexposure Prophylaxis in Men at High Risk for HIV-1 Infection
BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral preexposure prophylaxis has been shown to reduce the risk of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in some studies, but conflicting results have been reported among studies, probably due to challenges of adherence to a daily regimen. METHODS: We conducted a double-blind, randomized trial of antiretroviral therapy for preexposure HIV-1 prophylaxis among men who have unprotected anal sex with men. Particip…
HIV serostatus disclosure
Factors Associated With Hiv Voluntary Disclosure to One's Steady Sexual Partner in Mali
Despite the widespread dissemination of HIV information through public awareness campaigns in Mali, disclosing seropositivity to one's steady sexual partner (SSP) remains difficult for people living with HIV (PLHIV). Disclosure is a public health concern with serious implications and is also strongly linked to the quality of life of PLHIV. This study aimed to analyse factors associated with voluntary HIV disclosure to one's SSP, using a community…
Factors associated with satisfaction with community-based non-medicalized counseling and testing using HIV rapid tests among MSM in France
The aims of the study were to determine the level of satisfaction of men who have sex with men (MSM) participating in two community-based non-medicalized counseling and testing programs (ANRS-DRAG and ANRS-COM'TEST) offering HIV rapid tests (hereafter CBOffer), and to identify factors associated with satisfaction. Between 2009 and 2011, 436 participants voluntarily benefited from a CBOffer in the two programs. They completed self-administered que…
HIV seropositivity and sexuality
