Associations Between Healthcare Discrimination, Medical Mistrust, and Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake Among Young Black Adults in the Southern United States
Racial inequities related to COVID-19 exposure, morbidity, mortality, and access to care in the United States (U.S.) are notable, and COVID-19 vaccine uptake is lower among Black Americans than White Americans. Yet, mechanisms linking healthcare experiences to COVID-19 vaccination behavior among young adults are not well characterized. We analyzed cross-sectional data collected between March and June 2023 from 360 Black young adults (ages 18–29) …
The effects of behavioral change interventions and behavior change techniques in promoting physical activity in people with HIV
Most people living with HIV remain physically inactive, despite strong evidence that physical activity improves health outcomes and reduces premature mortality. While behavioral interventions are known to promote physical activity, few systematic reviews have focused specifically on these strategies for people with HIV. This review addresses that gap by evaluating the overall impact of behavioral interventions and examining the effectiveness of i…
Patient-Provider Sexual Health Communications and PEP Awareness Among Young Cisgender Men Who Have Sex with Men
Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in the United States remain disproportionately affected by HIV, yet their awareness and uptake of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) remain suboptimal. Patient-provider communication about sexual health has been shown to influence engagement with HIV prevention services, yet its role in shaping PEP awareness among YMSM not currently using pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is poorly understood. This study analyzes…
Mediation Analysis of Internalized Homophobia, Self-esteem and Mental Health in Adolescent Sexual Minority Men
Internalized homophobia (IH) negatively impacts the mental health of adolescent sexual minority men (ASMM), while self-esteem is posited to bolster their mental health. In a repeated-measures study with 599 ASMM (Mean age = 16.2 [ SD = 1.3]; 75.6% racial and ethnic minorities), longitudinal structural equation models investigated the relationships among IH, self-esteem, and mental health (depression and anxiety), as well as the mediating role of …
A qualitative exploration of how to support PrEP adherence among young men who have sex with men
New HIV infections disproportionately affect young men who have sex with men (YMSM). PrEP is effective in preventing HIV acquisition; however, adherence is critical and is often suboptimal among YMSM. Interventions addressing the unique PrEP adherence challenges faced by YMSM are needed. We conducted qualitative interviews with 20 HIV-negative, YMSM (ages 15-24) with a PrEP indication and 11 healthcare professionals to inform adaption of a PrEP a…
Development and validation of the mpox stigma scale (MSS) and mpox knowledge scale (MKS)
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05490329
Technology-Based Interventions, with a Stepped Care Approach, for Reducing Sexual Risk Behaviors and Increasing PrEP Initiation Among Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth and Young Adults
Sexual Agreement Discussions Among Adolescent Sexual Minority Men in the USA
A Relationship-Focused HIV Prevention Intervention for Young Sexual Minority Men in the United States
Co-occurring Epidemic Conditions Among Southern U.S. Black Men Who Have Sex with Men in an Online eHealth Intervention
Development and Validation of the Youth Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Stigma Scale
Building Community in the HIV Online Intervention Space
BACKGROUND: Mobile health platforms can facilitate social support and address HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) stigma but pose challenges for intervention design and participant engagement. Giddens's structuration theory, that individuals are shaped by-and shape-their communities through rules and resources that give them power to operate within these environments, provides a useful analytic framework for exploring these dynamic intervention sp…
PrEP Disclosure Experiences of Gay and Bisexual Men in Guatemala
Perspectives from Young Partnered Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men on the Adaptation of Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC)
A qualitative study of Thai HIV-positive young men who have sex with men and transgender women demonstrates the need for eHealth interventions to optimize the HIV care continuum
In Thailand, young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and transgender women (TG) are disproportionately affected by HIV and have suboptimal care continuum outcomes. Although Thai YMSM and young TG are early adopters of emerging technologies and have high Internet and technology access and utilization, the potential of technology has not been harnessed to optimize the HIV treatment cascade. We interviewed 18 behaviorally HIV-infected YMSM and young …
A Systematic Review of Recent Smartphone, Internet and Web 2.0 Interventions to Address the HIV Continuum of Care
Experiences of community and parental violence among HIV-positive young racial/ethnic minority men who have sex with men
Adolescents and young adults (ages 13-24) in the USA are frequently exposed to violence in their community and home. While studies have examined the prevalence and impact of violence exposure among adolescents, there is a lack of data focusing specifically on adolescent men of color who have sex with men. Eight demonstration sites funded through a Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) Initiative recruited 363 HIV-positive racial/ethnic…
If you build it will they come? Addressing social isolation within a technology-based HIV intervention for young black men who have sex with men
The rate of HIV infections among young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) continues to rise at an alarming pace. YBMSM are particularly vulnerable to social isolation and a lack of social support due to experiences with racism and homophobia, which may have implications for sexual risk behaviors. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of social isolation and sense of community among YBMSM, the need for and receptivity to social…
Migration and HIV risk
Latino men in the Southeastern USA are disproportionately affected by HIV, but little is known about how the migration process influences HIV-related risk. In North Carolina, a relatively new immigrant destination, Latino men are predominantly young and from Mexico. We conducted 31 iterative life history interviews with 15 Mexican-born men living with HIV. We used holistic content narrative analysis methods to examine HIV vulnerability in the con…
HealthMpowerment.org
Young Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS in the USA and continue to experience rapidly increasing HIV incidence. We designed a tailored, theory-based interactive HIV/STI prevention website for young BMSM, called HealthMpowerment.org (HMP) and conducted a small pilot trial comparing HMP to currently available HIV/STI websites. We present findings demonstrating feasibility and acceptability of deliver…
