Sexual Behaviour, HIV Prevention and Testing Among Transgender and Non-binary People in a Cross-Sectional Behavioural Surveillance Survey in Aotearoa New Zealand
Open AccessPeter Saxton, Ryan M Bentham et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
Trans and non-binary (TNB) people who have sex with gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM) are rarely included in HIV behavioural surveillance. Improved data on risk and protective behaviours among TNB people could help identify unmet needs. We analysed data from the Sex and Prevention of Transmission Study, a cross-sectional HIV behavioural surveillance programme in Aotearoa New Zealand that extended eligibility to TNB participa…
Sexualised drug use among gay and bisexual men in New Zealand

More than prevention
Open AccessT Minushika Punchihewa, Janine Wiles et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2024
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) minimises HIV risk and New Zealand was one of the first countries to publicly fund PrEP in 2018. However, no studies have explored in-depth the experience and meaning of living 'on PrEP' among individuals at elevated risk of HIV, such as gay and bisexual men. This qualitative study builds on findings from the NZPrEP demonstration project of early PrEP-adopting gay and bisexual men in Auckland, New Zealand. We inter…
How to have sex in a pandemic
Dean Murphy, Jeanne Ellard et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2023
Although many studies reported on decreases in sexual partner numbers among gay and bisexual-identifying men in the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have explored COVID-19 risk-reduction strategies. Drawing on free-text responses in an online survey (from April to July 2020), we describe the ways in which men sought to minimise the risk of COVID-19 in sexual encounters. Partner selection was an important strategy, in particular,…
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Change Efforts for Young People in New Zealand
Open AccessJohn Fenaughty, K K H Tan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2023Citada por: 3Referencias: 28
Sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts (SOGICE) are harmful practices, yet who suggests them to young people and what impacts are associated with these suggestions have received limited attention in the literature. The present study explored whether certain suggesters, and the frequency of categories of suggesters (including religious leaders, family members, and health professionals), were associated with suicidality and non-suici…
Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake and Its Impacts in a Cohort of Gay and Bisexual Men in Australia
Open AccessGarrett Prestage, Daniel Storer et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
Successful use of biomedical forms of HIV risk-reduction may have predisposed many gay and bisexual men (GBM) to vaccination against COVID-19, which may, in turn, affect their sexual behavior. A total of 622 Australian GBM provided weekly data on COVID-19 vaccination history and sexual behaviour between 17 January 2021 and 22 June 2021. We identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination, and compare sexual behavior before and since vaccinat…
Adherence, Sexual Behavior and Sexually Transmitted Infections in a New Zealand Prospective PrEP Cohort
Open AccessPeter Saxton, Sunita Azariah et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
Inequities in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) experiences will impede HIV epidemic elimination among gay and bisexual men (GBM). Ethnicity is a strong marker of inequity in the United States, but evidence from other countries is lacking. We investigated experiences on-PrEP to 12 months follow-up in a prospective cohort of 150 GBM in Auckland, New Zealand with an equity quota of 50% non-Europeans. Retention at 12 months was 85.9%, lower among Māor…
Covid-19 Testing in a Weekly Cohort Study of Gay and Bisexual Men
Open AccessMohamed A Hammoud, Nathanael Wells et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) have developed community norms for regular HIV/STI testing. We investigated factors associated with self-reported COVID-19 testing in response to reported COVID-19 cases and public health restrictions. Participants responded to weekly cohort surveys between 10th May 2021 and 27th September 2021. We used the Andersen-Gill extensions to the Cox proportional hazards model for multivariable sur…

Increase in Depression and Anxiety Among Australian Gay and Bisexual Men During Covid-19 Restrictions
Open AccessBenjamin R Bavinton, Curtis Chan et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2022Citada por: 2Referencias: 33
We examined depression and anxiety prior to and during COVID-19 restrictions in Australian gay and bisexual men (GBM). In an online cohort, a COVID-19-focused survey was conducted in April 2020. During 2019 and in April 2020, 664 GBM completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9, measuring depression) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD-7, measuring anxiety). Increased depression and anxiety were defined as a ≥ 5 point increase o…

Ethnicity classification systems for public health surveys
Open AccessNathan Lachowsky, Peter Saxton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020
Different classification approaches alter sample sizes and identification of health inequities. Future research should strive for equal explanatory power of Indigenous and ethnic minority groups and examine additional measures such as socially-assigned ethnicity and experiences of discrimination and racism. These findings have broad implications for surveillance and research that is used to inform public health responses

Trends in web-based HIV behavioural surveillance among gay and bisexual men in New Zealand
Peter Saxton, Peter J W Saxton et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015
Most HIV behavioural surveillance programmes for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) sample from location-based (offline) or web-based (online) populations, but few combine these two streams. MSM sampled online have been found to differ demographically and behaviourally from those sampled offline, meaning trends identified in one system may not hold for the other. The aim was to examine trends among MSM responding to supplemen…
Factors associated with recent HIV testing among younger gay and bisexual men in New Zealand, 2006-2011
Open AccessNathan J Lachowsky, Nathan Lachowsky et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014
A priority for HIV management should be connecting YMSM at risk of infection, but unlikely to test with appropriate testing services. New generations of YMSM require targeted, culturally relevant health promotion that provides accurate understandings about HIV transmission and prevention
Who is Omitted from Repeated Offline HIV Behavioural Surveillance Among MSM? Implications for Interpreting Trends

Actual and undiagnosed HIV prevalence in a community sample of men who have sex with men in Auckland, New Zealand
Open AccessPeter Saxton, Peter JW Saxton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012
This is the first estimate of actual and undiagnosed HIV infection among a community sample of gay men in New Zealand. While relatively low compared to other countries with mature epidemics, HIV prevalence was elevated in subgroups of MSM based on behaviour, and diagnosis rates varied by ethnicity. Prevention should focus on raising condom use and earlier diagnosis among those most at risk, and encouraging safe behaviour after diagnosis
