HIV stigma and disclosure of alcohol use to physicians
Alcohol use among persons living with HIV (PWH) can lead to poor disease outcomes. Disclosure of alcohol consumption to physicians is critical to inform HIV care. HIV stigma is associated with poor care engagement, and this relationship is partially mediated by depression. However, less is known about how HIV stigma and depression affect reporting of alcohol use to care providers. We used baseline data from an HIV intervention trial of 330 adult …

Associations between social network characteristics and sexual minority disclosure concern among Black men who have sex with men living with and without HIV
In addition to the pervasive anti‐Black racism faced by Black people in the United States, Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) face sexual minority stigma and, among BMSM living with HIV, HIV‐related stigma. These multilevel social forces shape social networks, which are important sources of resources, support, and behavior regulation. This study quantitatively examined the relationship between social network characteristics and sexual minorit…

HIV Transmission Potential and Sex Partner Concurrency
We determined whether racial disparities in HIV infection among gay and bisexual men (MSM) may be partially explained by racial differences in the HIV transmission potential (i.e. mixing of people living with HIV and people not living with HIV or of unknown HIV serostatus) and density (i.e. sex partner concurrency) of sexual networks. Data included a behavioral survey, testing for HIV, and an egocentric sexual network survey. Mixed effects logist…
