Hidden heterogeneity in HIV prevention for men who have sex with men in the US
Pre-Covid-19 Sexuality-Based Stigma Predicts Mid-Pandemic Anxiety Increases in a Cohort of Sexual Minority Men in the United States
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted mental health, including that of gay, bisexual, and other sexual minority men (SMM). Few studies in the US have assessed stigma's role in shaping the mental health of historically marginalized populations during crises. METHODS: = 572), we examined the association between sexuality-based stigma (stigma from family and friends, anticipated healthcare stigma, general social stigma) in the precedin…
Posttraumatic stress disorder symptomology among gay, bisexual, and other sexually minoritized cisgender men in the United States
In the United States, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) disparities among sexually minoritized men (SMM) are well-documented, but diverse PTSD symptom manifestations and related vulnerabilities in this group are understudied. From October 2020 to January 2021, we collected cross-sectional demographic, HIV status, sexual behavior, and mental health data from 6,319 trauma-exposed SMM in the American Men’s Internet Survey. We used latent class an…
Mpox stigma during the 2022 outbreak among men who have sex with men in the United States
Mpox emerged on the global scale in 2022 and predominately affected gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Stigma related to mpox is a potential harm for individuals experiencing multiple levels of marginalization who may already be discriminated against in family, healthcare, and other social domains. To understand perceived mpox stigma among cisgender GBMSM in the United States (US), we conducted a study within the American…
Measurement of Sexual Behavior Stigma in Cisgender Mexican Sexual Minority Men
We used data from the 2018 and 2019 cycles of the American Men’s Internet Survey (AMIS) and the Encuesta de Sexo Entre Hombres (ESEH) (2017) to investigate measurement invariance of a sexual behavior stigma scale among Mexican gay, bisexual, and other sexual minority men (SMM). Employing both a two- and three-group multiple group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA), we established configural invariance of the scale, suggesting a uniform factor p…
Association between homelessness and PrEP uptake among men who have sex with men
Emotion regulation as a potential moderator of the association between HIV stigma and nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy among youth living with HIV
INTRODUCTION: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related stigma affects adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for youth living with HIV. Emotion regulation strategies such as cognitive reappraisal (reinterpreting adversity to mitigate emotional impact) and expressive suppression (inhibiting emotion-expressive behavior activated by adversity) may moderate the HIV stigma-ART adherence relationship in this group. METHODS: Using baseline data fro…
Sexual behavior stigma among cisgender gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in nine NHBS cities across the United States
In the United States (US), sexuality-based stigma continues to undermine HIV prevention and care efforts. We assessed sexual behavior stigma burden across family, healthcare, and social domains and determined associations with HIV-related outcomes among cisgender gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in nine US metropolitan statistical areas. MSM ( N = 4,086) recruited at places of MSM social congregation via venue-based, time-…
Syndemic Psychosocial Conditions among Youth Living with HIV
Drug use, mental distress, and other psychosocial factors threaten HIV care for youth living with HIV (YLWH). We aimed to identify syndemic psychosocial patterns among YLWH and examine how such patterns shape HIV outcomes. Using baseline data from 208 YLWH enrolled in an HIV treatment adherence intervention, we performed latent class analysis on dichotomized responses to 9 psychosocial indicators (enacted HIV stigma; clinical depression and anxie…
Measuring sexual behavior stigma among cisgender men who have sex with men
Our findings point to the utility of the two stigma scale dimensions in making cross-country comparisons, but also to the necessity of assessing invariance with explicit attention to several factors including differential disclosure of sexuality across contexts to ensure valid comparisons
Intersecting Sexual Behavior and Gender Identity Stigmas Among Transgender Women in the United States
Injection Drug Use and Sexual Risk Behaviors Among People who Inject Drugs in Ukraine
Branched sexuality and sexual health among Black cisgender sexual minority men in Baltimore, Maryland
Branched sexuality - in form of combinations of sexual identity, behaviour and attraction (e.g. heterosexual identity, sex with men, attraction to women) that differ from coincident combinations (e.g. gay/homosexual/same-gender-loving identity, sex with men, attraction to men) - has been observed among Black sexual minority men and may correlate with sexual health. Using baseline survey data from Black sexual minority men ( N = 323) enrolled in a…
Hearing From Men Living With HIV
Engaging men in HIV services remains a challenge across sub-Saharan Africa. There is a critical need to better understand facilitators of men's successful engagement with HIV services and assess if there are similarities across contexts. We conducted in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 92 men living with HIV (MLHIV) across Malawi, Uganda, South Africa, and Eswatini, most of whom had been diagnosed with HIV within the last 5 years…
Sex-Positivity, Medical Mistrust, and PrEP Conspiracy Beliefs Among HIV-Negative Cisgender Black Sexual Minority Men in Atlanta, Georgia
HIV-related stigma and discrimination in health care and health-related quality of life among people living with HIV in England and Wales
Though life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV) is now comparable to that of HIV-negative persons, their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) lags behind. Lower HRQoL among PLHIV may vary meaningfully, shaped in part by social factors, including stigma. Using data from Positive Voices, a national cross-sectional probability survey of adults ≥ 18 years living with HIV and accessing HIV care services in England and Wales ( N = 4,422), we…
Disclosure of same-sex practices and experiences of healthcare stigma among cisgender men who have sex with men in five sub-Saharan African countries
Research to determine the factors driving disclosure's differential effect on healthcare stigma across contexts is needed. Ultimately, supportive environments enabling safe disclosure is critical to understanding HIV-acquisition risks and informing differentiated HIV-prevention, treatment, and testing services for MSM across SSA
Lifetime prevalence of syphilis infection among predominantly Black sexual and gender minorities living with HIV in Atlanta, Georgia
Findings underscore how syphilis prevention efforts have missed the most marginalized, warranting a renewed, comprehensive strategy for improving the sexual health of Black SGM. Embedding targeted, respectful community engagement, expanded testing access, and healthcare provider training into broader sexual health and psychosocial wellness efforts is needed
Masculine gender norms, male circumcision, and men’s engagement with health care in the Dominican Republic
Overall, adult men are less likely to seek and receive health care than women, but male circumcision for HIV prevention has been successful in engaging men in health services. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between masculine norms and health care-seeking among men participating in a voluntary male medical circumcision (VMMC) programme in the Dominican Republic (DR). We employed a mixed methods approach integrating survey…
Sex Composition of Twins and Associations With Morbidity, Mortality and Maternal Treatment-Seeking Outcomes in Resource-Poor Settings
Societal gender inequality and a preference for male children has been shown to be detrimental to girls’ health. This is despite females’ innate biological advantage early in life. The negative effects of gender inequity on female health are most pronounced in resource-poor countries, where cultural norms supporting a preference for male children are strongest. However, most of what is known about gender inequality and child health comes from stu…
We can act different from what we used to’
Faith-based organisations (FBOs) have long been part of the fight against HIV and AIDS. International bodies continue to collaborate with FBOs to implement HIV-prevention programmes with mixed success. Zambia has been a target of such programmes in part due to its high HIV prevalence. The Trusted Messenger approach to provide religious leader networks with biomedical, science-focused education about HIV and AIDS was piloted in 2006, but participa…
