Too Much Trouble
Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people in the U.S. navigate significant employment and economic inequities. Gaps in knowledge about their workplace experiences limit our broader understanding of how social inequality is interactionally constructed through employment contexts. We conducted and analyzed interviews with 26 TNB young adults. Routine hiring processes and structural constraints made participants vulnerable to interactional stigmatizati…

Influence of Coping, Social Support, and Depression on Subjective Health Status Among HIV-Positive Adults With Different Sexual Identities
The authors examined associations between psychosocial variables (coping self-efficacy, social support, and cognitive depression) and subjective health status among a large national sample (N = 3,670) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive persons with different sexual identities. After controlling for ethnicity, heterosexual men reported fewer symptoms than did either bisexual or gay men and heterosexual women reported fewer symptoms tha…
Medication Adherence and Sexual Risk Behavior among HIV-Infected Adults
Going Beyond “ABC” to Include “GEM”
A considerable number of studies have sought to identify what factors accounted for substantial reductions in HIV seroprevalence after several countries deployed “ABC” (abstinence, be faithful, condom use) strategies. After much public discourse and research on ABC success stories, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS 2004 epidemic report indicated that nearly 50% of infected people worldwide were women, up from 35% in 1985. In light of…

Depressive Symptomatology among HIV‐Positive Women in the Era of Haart
Objective: An enhanced stress and coping model was used to explain depression among HIV‐positive women in healthcare and community settings where highly active anti‐retroviral treatment (HAART) was commonplace. Method: HIV‐infected women in four cities ( N =978) were assessed, cross‐sectionally, for mental and physical health, stress, social support, and other background factors. Results: Self‐reported level of depressive symptomatology was high.…
Health and Health Care Among Male-to-Female Transgender Persons Who Are HIV Positive
Recent studies have reported high rates of HIV infection among male-to-female transgender persons, but little research has examined how male-to-female transgender persons manage living with HIV. We compared demographic and health characteristics of 59 male-to-female transgender persons who were HIV positive with 300 nontransgender control subjects who were HIV positive. We found several demographic differences between the groups but no significan…

HIV-Prevention-Related Sexual Health Promotion for Heterosexual Men in the United States
Masculinity and urban men
A sample of 100 heterosexually active men were recruited from STD/health clinics and social networks in urban neighbourhoods in New York City to participate in a qualitative interview about their perceptions of the scripts guiding their courtship, romantic, and sexual experiences with women. Men's narratives revealed tension between their desire for emotional versus sexual intimacy; and their desire for emotional and sexual immersion versus their…
Urban women's gender scripts
Women's and men's gender roles and expectations regarding romantic and sexual encounters have been shifting, and the need to develop HIV preventive strategies has underscored the importance of understanding the contextual dynamics related to sexuality. Urban women's gender scripts were investigated as part of a comprehensive study that evaluated the efficacy of a theory-driven HIV/STI prevention programme. One hundred and thirty ethnically divers…
Beyond the Male Condom
As the number of HIV infections in women has increased, there has been a concomitant recognition that prevention efforts to reduce sexual transmission must address the gendered context in which risk behavior occurs. This paper provides a longitudinal perspective on the emergence of the HIV epidemic in U.S. women and the parallel development of interventions to reduce risk. In the first portion of this paper, we briefly discuss the growth of the e…
Female-Condom Use in a Gender-Specific Family Planning Clinic Trial
Objectives. We evaluated female-condom use among women participating in an HIV/STD intervention designed to reduce unprotected sex and expand prevention strategies. Methods. Women (n = 360) were recruited from a family-planning clinic and were randomized into an 8- or 4-session intervention group or a control group. We conducted follow-up interviews at 1, 6, and 12 months. Results. At 1 month, the odds ratios of first-time female-condom use were …

Prenatal estrogens and the development of homosexual orientation
In psychobiological research on sexual orientation, the prenatal hormone theory has a central posi tion. This article examines the hypothesis that prenatal estrogens contribute to the development of human sexual orientation. Several groups of women with a history of prenatal exposure to diethyl stilbestrol (DES), a nonsteroidal synthetic estrogen, were compared with several samples of control women in the context of a comprehensive study of the p…

Sexual risk behavior, sexual functioning, and HIV‐disease progression in gay men
In a sample of 121 HIV‐positive (HIV+) and 84 HIV‐negative (HIV‐) gay and bisexual men in the New York City area, sexual behavior and functioning were assessed by interview and correlated with symptoms and signs of HIV‐disease progression. There was considerable variability in sexual partner numbers and behaviors, and a substantial proportion of men in both groups engaged in sexual practices that put themselves or their partners at risk for HIV i…
Sexual self control as a mediator of high risk sexual behavior in a New York city cohort of HIV+ and HIV‐ gay men
This paper describes the development of the Perceived Sexual Control inventory (PSC) and a study investigating the relationship between an individual's perception of control over sexual behavior and actual sexual risk behavior in a New York City cohort of 108 HIV+ and 48 HIV‐ gay men. Correlational analysis indicated that reported difficulty controlling sexual behavior was associated with having more male sex partners and sex occasions over lifet…
Sexual orientation after prenatal exposure to exogenous estrogen
Role Expectations and Definitions
A new study on female transsexuals and lesbians is reported. A matched-group comparison of 15 women in each sample suggests that the two groups do not differ in overall intelligence, although lesbians, unlike female transsexuals, tended to have a significantly higher verbal IQ than performance IQ. Both groups showed a similar response pattern on the Embedded Figures Test but differed on the Draw-A-Person Test, The Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament S…

Close Emotional Relationships with Women versus Men
Heterosexual men's close relationships with women versus men were compared using open-ended interview methods. Participants were 56 ethnically diverse and heterosexually active men recruited from STD/health clinics and neighborhoods with high HIV/STD seroprevalence in New York City. Men were generally divided between identifying relationships with women as closer, relationships with men as closer, or relationships with both genders as equally clo…

Gender Differences in Children's and Adolescents' Career Aspirations
Career choices and their relation to personal and family background variables were studied in a sample of 148 children (68 females and 80 males) at two points in time: when the participants were between 8 and 13 years of age (Phase 1) and approximately S years later, when they were between 13 and 18 years of age (Phase 2). Male andfemale respondents during both phases chose largely nonoverlapping careers. Boys' choices were heavily gender-stereot…
Sexual behavior in female transsexuals and lesbians
This study was designed to look at the role sexual arousal and behavior play in confirming or resolving gender identity confusion, and at how female‐to‐male transsexuals (FTs) and lesbians (Ls) differ in this area. Detailed interview data on sexual behavior from a clinical sample of 15 FTs compared to a matched research sample of 15 Ls are presented. The mean age for the FTs group was 21 years, 10 months and 23 years, 8 months for the Ls group. T…

Career aspiration and gender role development in young girls
Prenatal sex hormones and human aggression
We review data on aggression from psychological studies of offspring from two categories of abnormal prenatal sex hormone conditions: 1) endocrine disorders, and 2) hormone treatment during pregnancy. Both sources yield trends and some significant findings that are in line with the animal research based expectations of a positive androgen effect on the development of aggressive behavior. However, the available studies have many methodological wea…
