Barreras y Facilitadores Estructurales en la Atención Sanitaria para Migrantes Víctimas y Sobrevivientes de la Trata de Personas
Migrants during their transit, passage, or reception face multiple risks that make them vulnerable to being victims of trafficking and subsequently survivors. This article seeks to understand the structural barriers and facilitating conditions in health care for this population, which affect their well-being. To this end, a qualitative examination was conducted of the experiences of 17 interviewed individuals involved in issues of trafficking and…
Preferences for PrEP Selection
Despite the disproportionate burden of HIV among sexual minority men (SMM), PrEP is underutilized among this population. This study used a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to examine preferences and concerns related to PrEP uptake among HIV-negative, PrEP-eligible SMM (n = 271). Participants evaluated hypothetical PrEP profiles based on administration method, side effects, provider language, and peer use. On-demand PrEP was preferred over daily a…
Leveraging the Barriers and Facilitators of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Care Among Latino Men Who Have Sex with Men in the U.S. to Inform Intervention
Implementation Determinants of Scaling up and Disseminating HIV-Prevention and Treatment Services to Latino MSM in Three Ending the HIV Epidemic Priority Jurisdictions
SOMOS Alianza is a strategic alliance of HIV service implementers, HIV researchers, and community members from three jurisdictions: Miami, Florida, Orlando, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Because of high HIV incidence among Latino men who have sex with men (LMSM), improved implementation of evidence-based HIV services is needed. We sought to identify determinants influencing the reach of HIV services to LMSM in these jurisdictions. Using the…
Developing and assessing acceptability of a shared decision-making tool for selecting among HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis options in the United States of America
We developed a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) shared decision-making tool to support people who could benefit from PrEP in reaching their prevention goals and preferences when considering two effective PrEP modalities, oral or long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP, in partnership with their healthcare providers (HCPs). This 2-phase study included formative research to develop a PrEP shared decision-making tool prototype followed by a pilot study to …
Best Practices for Community-Engaged Research
The recent shift in United States immigration policies has led to heightened enforcement measures, expedited deportations, and increased surveillance of migrant communities. These policies have exacerbated fear and distrust among migrant populations, particularly undocumented individuals, and have negatively impacted their well-being and willingness to engage in research. This methodological article synthesizes ethical challenges, safety concerns…
Exploring Intersectionality Among Latinos Living with HIV
A Call to Center Latino Members of Sexual Minority Groups and Strengthen the US HIV Response
To strengthen the next phase of EHE planning, it is recommended to engage Latino gay, bisexual, and other MSM in all stages of EHE implementation, develop and track performance and outreach metrics, and leverage local data to inform EHE policy decisions, drive resource allocation, and ensure accountability in the development of tailored strategies that meet the health needs of Latino gay, bisexual, and other MSM. Given the recent erasure of vital…
Justice as care
People with HIV face a constellation of social and structural barriers, including unstable housing, discrimination, lack of identification documents, immigration issues, and denial of public benefits, that impede access to and retention in care. These health-harming legal needs are rarely addressed systematically in HIV service settings, despite longstanding calls for structural interventions. This study examines the role and impact of a Medical-…
Standing Up for Core Principles in Departments of Social and Behavioral Sciences in Public Health
An empirical test of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model of willingness and intention to use HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among adolescent men who have sex with men
BACKGROUND: Adolescent men who have sex with men (AMSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV, yet uptake of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among AMSM is low. Theory-based research is needed to increase PrEP adoption for HIV prevention among AMSM. PURPOSE: Using the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model, we aimed to (1) examine information, motivation, and behavioral skills as determinants of willingness and intention to use …
Factors Influencing Engagement Across the Motivational PrEP Cascade Among Latino SMM
Embracing Diversity Under the Latine LGBTQ+ Umbrella
Critical Perspectives on Expanding Racial/Ethnic Diversity in the HIV Research Workforce
HIV-related comorbidities in underrepresented minority populations are reframed to include the co-occurring problems of systemic and structural barriers, within the mentoring context as a buffer and as action-oriented. This framework is discussed to improve racial and ethnic minority diversity in the research workforce from the perspectives of HIV comorbidities and mentoring. An integrated and coordinated approach to HIV-related comorbidities and…
Beyond a deficit-based approach
Female sex workers (FSWs) live and work at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities that place them at greater risk for various negative health outcomes. Resilience theory asserts that an individual or community needs assets from which they can draw in response to stressors, such as chronic discrimination and abuse. This study characterizes and compares patterns of assets among cisgender and transgender FSWs living with HIV in the Dom…
Using the Meaningful Involvement of People Living with HIV/Aids (Mipa) Framework to Assess the Engagement of Sexual Minority Men of Color in the US HIV Response
The use of a Spanish-translated PrEP Stigma Scale among the Latino sample of the Unite cohort study
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) related stigma is linked to inadequate PrEP uptake, yet there are no validated scales to test this association among Spanish-speaking LSMM. The current study examined if the Spanish-translated PrEP Stigma Scale (PSS) was psychometrically appropriate for implementing in Spanish language dominant Latino/e/x Sexual Minority Men (SMM). Recruitment was conducted using geosocial networking applications, social media site…

HIV Disclosure Practices to Family Among Mexican and Puerto Rican Sexual Minority Men with HIV in the Continental USA
Disclosing a seropositive HIV status still is a complex process of assessing the risks, benefits, and potential personal and interpersonal outcomes associated with disclosure, such as stigma, rejection, or emotional support. We examined HIV disclosure practices to family and intersectional stigma related to HIV and sexual orientation among Latino sexual minority men (LSMM) of Mexican and Puerto Rican origin with HIV in the continental USA. Guided…
Applying Rapid Qualitative Analysis for Health Equity
Qualitative research amplifies the voices of marginalized communities and thus plays a critical role in shaping our understanding of health inequities and their social determinants. Traditional qualitative approaches, such as grounded theory or thematic analysis, require extensive training and are time- and labor-intensive; as such, they may not be adequately suited to address healthy equity issues that require a swift response. Rapid qualitative…
Factors associated with individual and couple participation in online sexual health research with Latinx sexual minority men
Latinx sexual minority men (LSMM) have higher rates of HIV incidence than most other ethnic and racial groups. Given that transmission risk is higher among primary partners, it is critical to identify factors that would facilitate partner recruitment into couples-based sexual health research studies. The present study utilizes a sample of index participants ( n = 625), which includes 530 LSMM who did not recruit their partner and 95 LSMM who succ…
Using a structural-ecological model to facilitate adoption of preexposure prophylaxis among Latinx sexual minority men
Research has consistently shown that individual, interpersonal, community and structural factors influence the degree to which individuals' access and utilize health care services, and these factors may play a role in explaining racial and ethnic differences in health care outcomes. Differences in HIV prevalence and treatment between Latinx adults and white adults in the U.S. must be considered in the context of these factors. However, much of th…
How Is Colonialism a Sociostructural Determinant of Health in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is experiencing a public health crisis driven by effects and processes of US colonialism in the archipelago, such as the exclusionary application of federal health policy, an exodus of health care professionals, and the long-term effects of unequal distribution of health care funding in the unincorporated territories. Compound effects of multiple disasters, including Hurricane María, repeated earthquakes, and the COVID-19 pandemic, as…

HIV-Related Intersectional Stigma and Discrimination Measurement
Background. Across settings, individuals from populations that are multiply stigmatized are at increased risk of HIV and experience worse HIV treatment outcomes. As evidence expands on how intersecting stigmatized identities and conditions influence HIV outcomes, researchers have used diverse quantitative approaches to measure HIV-related intersectional stigma and discrimination. To date, no clear consensus exists regarding how to best quantitati…
Let’s Hook Up When the Pandemic is Over
COVID-19 led to substantial changes in individuals' lives due to preventive measures, including social distancing and "stay at home" orders. One type of social interaction likely impacted is intimacy and sexual relationships. Sexual minority men have long navigated the impact of another pandemic, HIV, on their sexual lives. This study explored the impact of COVID-19 on Latinx sexual minority men's (LSMM) sexual behaviors in South Florida, an HIV …

Risk factors for suicide attempts in a clinic-based sample of people living with HIV in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico (PR) has a large and rapidly growing population of people living with HIV. However, relatively little behavioral or clinical research has been done in this population. As treatment for HIV increasingly moves into a chronic condition model, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the needs of this population so critical social and behavioral interventions can be developed, thus enabling the individual and community-level be…
What Kinds of Workshops do Internet-Based Male Escorts Want? Implications for Prevention and Health Promotion
Comparing male escorts' sexual behaviour with their last male client versus non-commercial male partner
Apart from research suggesting that male escorts are less likely to have condomless anal sex (CAS) with their male clients compared with male non-clients, little is known about how male escorts' behaviour differs between their clients and non-clients. In spring 2013, 387 Internet-based male escorts completed an online survey that included identical questions about their sexual behaviour with their last male client and male non-client. Encounters …

Long-term health outcomes of childhood sexual abuse and peer sexual contact among an urban sample of behaviourally bisexual Latino men
While previous research indicates high rates of childhood sexual abuse among Latino men who have sex with men, few studies have examined the long-term health outcomes of childhood sexual abuse specifically among behaviourally bisexual Latino men. In a sample of 148 behaviourally bisexual Latino men in New York City, we examined associations between childhood sexual abuse and multiple dimensions of adult health: sexual risk behaviours; sexually tr…

Mentoring Programs by and for a New Generation of Latino Investigators in Behavioral-Social Science HIV Research
Latinos represent a critical resource of talent that could be cultivated to expand the HIV research workforce. However, their rapid growth, as the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority group in the US population, has yet to translate into a significant increase in Latino health academic researchers. Historically, strategies to build a diverse research workforce have grouped together individuals from underrepresented minority populations obs…
