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…
Rural and urban differences in HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness and acceptability among Black cisgender women living in the U.S. South
Black cisgender women in the U.S. South experience a significant disparity in HIV infection rates. Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective medication that can reduce HIV risk but is underutilized among Black women. We assessed the association between setting and PrEP awareness and acceptability in Black cisgender women in the U.S. South. A cross-sectional online survey was administered from March to June 2022 to HIV-negative Black cisgend…
Social Vulnerability and Mental Health Among People with HIV and Substance Use
Socioeconomic Status and Psychosocial Resources Mediate Racial/Ethnic Differences in Psychological Health Among Gay and Bisexual Men
A large body of research demonstrates disparities in psychological health attributed to sexual minority identity, racial/ethnic minority identity, and socioeconomic status (SES). Fewer studies have explicated the role of these multiple attributes on psychological health and explored the role of SES and psychosocial resources in determining outcomes. We analyzed data from Project STRIDE, a longitudinal survey involving a diverse sample of gay and …
Sexual Prejudice and Comfort to Provide Services to Men Who Have Sex with Men Among HIV Healthcare Workers in Western Kenya
Cultural adaptation and validation of a measure of prejudice against men who have sex with men among healthcare providers in western Kenya
Sexual prejudice toward men who have sex with men (MSM) is a pressing concern in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Given the high HIV infection risk among this population, sexual prejudice perpetuated by healthcare providers, affects access to and willingness of MSM to seek HIV care services. However, data on healthcare providers' attitudes towards MSM in SSA are limited, and there are no locally-adapted measures of sexual prejudice. We adapted a scale t…
Intersectional minority stress disparities among sexual minority adults in the USA
Few studies have examined the intersection of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status on the experience of minority stressors among sexual minority adults. We examined whether there are differences in reports of minority stressors by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status, and whether socioeconomic status moderates the associations between race/ethnicity and minority stressors. We analysed data from Project Stride, a community-based sample of 39…
Awareness and Acceptability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in Kenya
Kenyan gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) are significantly affected by HIV. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective biomedical approach to HIV prevention. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 459 HIV-negative Kenyan GBMSM to assess individual and interpersonal correlates of PrEP awareness/acceptability using univariate and hierarchical logistic regression modeling. We found that 64.3% of participants had heard…
Effectiveness of peer-led interventions to increase HIV testing among men who have sex with men
Improving Engagement in the HIV Care Cascade
How intersectional constructions of sexuality, culture, and masculinity shape identities and sexual decision-making among men who have sex with men in coastal Kenya
Men who have sex with men are increasingly recognised as one of the most vulnerable HIV risk groups in Kenya. Sex between men is highly stigmatised in Kenya, and efforts to provide sexual health services to men who have sex with men require a deeper understanding of their lived experiences; this includes how such men in Kenya construct their sexual identities and how these constructions affect sexual decision-making. Adult self-identified men who…
