Challenges Faced by People with Disabilities in Accessing Contraception and Childbirth Care in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Background People with disabilities (PWDs) experience significant challenges in accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. Consequently, global, regional, and national policies recommend equal rights for PWDs to access quality health care. Tanzania is working to improve SRH accessibility; however, women with disabilities still face numerous challenges in accessing reproductive and maternal healthcare services. These challenges must …
Effects of an Afrocentric Sexual Health Education Curriculum for Medical, Nursing, and Midwifery Students in Tanzania
Sub-Saharan Africa has the world’s highest rates of sexual health challenges. Yet, sexual health curricula for health students are rare. To advance research on the effects of such a curricula, we conducted the first randomized controlled trial of a sexual health curriculum for health students. “Training for Health Professionals” was a randomized, controlled, single-blind, trial conducted in Tanzania. In 2021, 412 nursing, midwifery, and medical s…
Addressing sexual health concerns in Tanzania
Little is known about the factors that may prevent healthcare professionals as key stakeholders from exploring sexual health issues in Tanzania. This study examined healthcare professionals’ perspectives on the barriers to addressing sexual health concerns in practice. In June 2019, we conducted an exploratory qualitative study involving 18 focus group discussions among healthcare professionals (n = 60) and students (n = 61) in the health profess…
HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer early detection in gay and bisexual men is an “orphan” practice
Introduction: Among US men, oropharyngeal cancer (cancer of the back of the mouth and throat) is the 8th most common cancer. If detected early, human papillomavirus (HPV)-16-associated oropharyngeal cancer has a high 5-year survival rate. Risk factors such as high numbers of oral sex partners, disparities in smoking and drinking, and low rates of HPV vaccination may put gay and bisexual men at even higher risk for oropharyngeal cancer. Methods: W…
Oral/oropharyngeal “selfies” in gay and bisexual men
Objectives: This study aims to determine the potential uptake and quality of oropharyngeal "selfies" taken by gay/bisexual men as a screening approach for HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer. Methods: From 1,699 gay/bisexual men in the US, surveyed about knowledge and attitudes to HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer, a random sample of 320 men were invited to take an oropharyngeal "selfie" by smartphone and send it to the study website: 113 (35.5…
Impact of Migration and Acculturation on Turkish Men Who Have Sex with Men in Germany
The Married Homosexual Man
‘All that is left is to pretend. But to pretend to the end of one’s life is the highest torment.’ So wrote the composer Peter Tchaikovsky following his marriage to his student, Antonina Milyukov, 1877. How common is such a conclusion today amongst males with homosexual tendencies and who have married women? Why homosexuals marry women, and the consequences, are open questions to which this book, originally published in 1983, addresses itself. Des…
Discrimination against gay and bisexual patients in prostate cancer treatment
The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of discrimination during prostate cancer treatment and assess the association with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a cohort of gay and bisexual men (GBM) prostate cancer survivors. This is a cross-sectional analysis of the 24-month follow-up survey from the Restore-2 clinical trial that tested the effectiveness of an online rehabilitation program tailored for GBM prostate cancer s…
Discrimination of sexual and gender minority patients in prostate cancer treatment
This study is the first to quantify experiences of discrimination in treatment undertaken by sexual and gender minority prostate cancer patients. Participants were 192 gay and bisexual and one transgender prostate cancer patients living in the US recruited from North America's largest online cancer support group. In this online survey, discrimination in treatment was measured using the Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS), adapted for medical sett…
Hopelessness and HIV infection
Our findings are important to HIV clinicians in identifying those at risk of hopelessness from a gender perspective in order to reduce preventable psychological distress among people living with HIV
The Mental Health of Male Sexual Minority Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Nairobi, Kenya
Very little information exists about the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees who are men who have sex with men (MSM). Therefore, this study explores the psychological distress of MSM asylum seekers and refugees in the Nairobi metropolitan area. We collected data using in-depth interviews transcribed verbatim, coded using NVivo 12 Plus, and analyzed using the six-step thematic analysis framework. Four major themes emerged from the study: ps…
The Effects of Prostate Cancer Treatment on Role-In-Sex in Gay and Bisexual Men
Gay and bisexual men (GBM) with prostate cancer experience worse sexual and mental health outcomes following prostate cancer treatment than heterosexual men. Emerging evidence suggests that GBM may change their role-in-sex in response to treatment effects. The purpose of this study was to describe the impact of prostate cancer treatment on role-in-sex, to estimate the prevalence of such changes, and to determine the impact on quality of life and …
Cultural and clinical challenges in sexual health care provision to men who have sex with men in Tanzania
Findings from this study revealed a need for training health students in Tanzania to address sexual health issues including accurate information on homosexuality, reporting requirements and clinical management in the legal and socio-cultural context of the African continent
Perceptions of Sexual Healthcare Provision in Tanzania
Data indicate that lack of training in sexual health and guidelines for dealing with sexual issues are a barrier to comprehensive health care. These findings can inform the main areas for curriculum developers to focus on, when developing an Afro-centric sexual health curriculum suitable for students in health care professional courses. Moreover, these findings can be useful when developing treatment guidelines and policies that are beneficial to…
Pain and Loss of Pleasure in Receptive Anal Sex for Gay and Bisexual Men following Prostate Cancer Treatment
Prostate cancer treatments disrupt receptive anal intercourse (RAI) for gay and bisexual men (GBM). Sexual dysfunction following prostate cancer treatment may include severe pain in the anorectum during RAI (i.e., anodyspareunia). The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of prostate cancer and its treatments on RAI among GBM. Data were from a cross-sectional online survey of 100 GBM prostate cancer survivors who reported pleasurable RA…
Stigmatization of men who have sex with men in health care settings in East Africa is based more on perceived gender role-inappropriate mannerisms than having sex with men
Background: Healthcare Workers may stigmatize and discriminate against Men who have Sex with Men in East Africa.Objective: To understand the predictors of abuse and discrimination of sexual minority men in healthcare settings by Healthcare workers in seven cities in Tanzania.Method: In total, 300 sexual minority men over the age of 18 were interviewed in 7 Tanzanian cities by trained local interviewers. Abuse from others (physical, verbal, sexual…
A longitudinal analysis of sexual minorities’ acceptance concerns and internalised homonegativity on perceived psychological stress
Acceptance concerns and internalised homonegativity are associated with deleterious health outcomes for sexual minority persons, including psychological stress. However, previous studies examining the effects of proximal minority stressors (including acceptance concerns and internalised homonegativity) on stress have been limited by their cross-sectional approach. The present study extends past research by examining the temporal relationship betw…
Sex education and transgender youth
The sex education made available to transgender youth has rarely been studied empirically. In this study, we sought to explore the sex education experiences of transgender young people and summarise their recommendations for transgender-inclusive curricula. Qualitative data from 14 transgender youth in the upper-Midwest USA were collected by means of an online questionnaire and group interview. Data was analysed using a consensual qualitative app…
The Influence of Companion Animals on Quality of Life of Gay and Bisexual Men Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer
There has been almost no research on associations of companion animals with quality of life in sexual minorities. Because gay and bisexual men have less social support than their heterosexual peers, some have argued that pet companionship could provide emotional support, while others have argued the opposite, that having a pet is another stressor. This analysis examines the association between having dogs, cats, both animals, or no animals and qu…
Qualitative data are not just quantitative data with text but data with context
Electronic Media Access and Use for Sexuality and Sexual Health Education Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Four Cities in Tanzania
Background: Electronic media use is an important avenue for reaching stigmatized populations. We examined Internet access and use of sexually related electronic media among men who have sex with men (MSM) in 4 cities in Tanzania. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 231 MSM in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Arusha, and Tanga regarding electronic media type, times of use, type of use and frequency of use of sexually-related media. Results: Mean ag…
The people living with HIV stigma survey UK 2015
We aim to understand the difference in stigma and discrimination, in particular sexual rejection, experienced between gay and heterosexual men living with HIV in the UK. The People Living with HIV StigmaSurvey UK 2015 recruited a convenience sample of persons with HIV through over 120 cross sector community organisations and 46 HIV clinics to complete an online survey. 1162 men completed the survey, 969 (83%) gay men and 193 (17%) heterosexual me…
Experiences of stigma and discrimination in social and healthcare settings among trans people living with HIV in the UK
The People Living with HIV StigmaSurvey UK 2015 was a community led national survey investigating experiences of people living with HIV in the UK in the past 12 months. Participants aged 18 and over were recruited through over 120 cross-sector community organisations and 46 HIV clinics to complete an anonymous online survey. Trans is an umbrella term which refers to individuals whose current gender identity is different to the gender they were as…
Sociopolitical and Cultural Correlates of Internalized Homonegativity in Gay and Bisexual Men
Objectives: Based on the premise that internalized homonegativity (IH) is a product of the incorporation of environmental heterosexism, the authors examined the influence of sociopolitical and individual influences on IH. Methods: The cross-sectional study consisted of 109,382 gay and bisexual men across 77 countries. Results: Variables at the (European) country-level that were associated with higher levels of IH included lack of laws recognizing…
Using pharmacists and drugstore workers as sexual healthcare givers
BACKGROUND: Previous research has shown that men who have sex with men (MSM) avoid formal healthcare services because of the fear of discrimination as homosexuality is illegal and stigmatized in Tanzania. Instead, self-treatment by medications obtained directly from pharmacies or drugstores may be common when MSM experience symptoms of suspected sexually transmitted infections (STIs) related to sexual activity with men. OBJECTIVE: To explore MSM'…
Differences between Internet samples and conventional samples of men who have sex with men
Biases in internet sexual health samples
Structural and environmental factors are associated with internalised homonegativity in men who have sex with men
Internalised homonegativity refers to a gay person's negative feelings about homosexuality and is believed to stem from negative societal stereotypes and attitudes towards homosexuality. Surprisingly, little research has centred on this link. In this research, we aimed to examine the associations between internalised homonegativity and structural forces, cultural influence, and access to sexual health promotion measures among a sample of 144,177 …
The Relationship Between Homosexuality, Internalized Homo-Negativity, and Mental Health in Men Who Have Sex with Men
Whether homosexuality or internalized homo-negativity is the critical variable affecting the mental health of men who have sex with men has long been debated. As part of a larger study, 422 Midwestern homosexual men completed questionnaires examining degree of homosexuality, internalized homo-negativity, and depression. Logistic regression modeling identified internalized homo-negativity, but not degree of homosexuality, as significantly associat…
Typing, doing, and being
The increasing salience of sexuality on the internet, whether cybersex or use of the internet to make sexual contacts, has focused interest on how internet-mediated sexuality informs social theory. This article reviews social theory and sexuality in relation to the internet, with specific reference to the development of intimacy, the association of texts with sexual scripts, the emergence of cybersexuality as a sexual space midway between fantasy…
Sexual behaviour in aids‐related research
In order to assess the reliability and validity of two data collection instruments for measuring sexual practices in homosexual men, we administered a recall data collection instrument to 30 sexually active men, and a diary instrument to a subset of 19 participants. Each instrument covered a period of one month. For the recall instrument, the correlation coefficients between the test‐retest showed a good level of reliability for a number of infre…

Retrospective distortion in homosexual research
The Story of Subject Naught
In a web-based, sexual behavior risk study using a rigorous response validation protocol, we identified 124 invalid responses out of 1,150 total (11% rejection). Nearly all of these (119) were due to repeat survey submissions from the same participants, and 65 of them came from a single participant. This brief describes how we were able to detect these repeat submissions using the validation protocol, and highlights the importance of using both a…
Fluid Versus Fixed
Sexual orientation has been conceptualized by Ross and Paul (1992) as fixed in terms of sex object (exclusively heterosexual or homosexual) versus fluid (bisexuals, for whom sex of partner may be unimportant). The authors of the present article investigated characteristics of 1,913 young men and women with fixed and fluid sexual orientation recruited in an Internet-based study of sexual behavior in Sweden. One half of the respondents were student…
Actual and anticipated societal reaction to homosexuality and adjustment in two societies
The relationship between actual societal reaction (SR) and putative societal reaction (PSR) to homosexuality was investigated in two cultures, Sweden and Australia, which were similar with regard to socio‐economic factors but dissimilar with regard to attitudes toward homosexuality. It was predicted that there would be no correlation between SR and PSR, that there would be differences between the two countries on PSR but not SR, and that these di…
The Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory
Unprotected anal intercourse in HIV‐infected and non‐HIV‐infected gay men
In 1990, gay men (N = 296) in Sydney, Australia, were asked to recall two sexual encounters from the preceding year: one in which they had unprotected anal intercourse ("unsafe" encounter) and one in which they had resisted a strong temptation to have unprotected intercourse ("safe" encounter). The aims were to record self‐justifications for unprotected intercourse used in the unsafe encounter and to identify situational factors distinguishing be…
History of Childhood Sexual Abuse and HIV Risk Behaviors in Homosexual and Bisexual Men
Objectives. We examined the prevalence and frequency of childhood sexual abuse and their association with sexual risk among a sample of gay and bisexual men. Methods. Cross-sectional data were collected by survey from randomly selected gay and bisexual men who attended the 1997 and 1998 Minneapolis/St. Paul Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Festivals. Data included demographics, sexual activity, history of childhood sexual abuse, HIV …
Supportive social relationships and adolescent health risk behavior among secondary school students in El Salvador
The Gay Dance Party Culture in Sydney
We investigated the gay dance party phenomenon in Sydney in terms of its social and historical context by carrying out 16 qualitative interviews with patrons and organisers of these events. Sydney with a population of 3.5 million is both the capital of New South Wales and the Gay capital of Australia. The gay dance party appears to be a response to a number of conditions which co-existed in the mid 1980s, as previously suggested by Wotherspoon (1…

Femininity, Masculinity and Sexual Orientation
Predominantly homosexual males from Australia (n = 163), Sweden (n = 176) and Finland (n = 149) were compared on the Bem Sex-Role Inventory and on various measures of partner preference in order to establish the relationship between degree of homosexuality in terms of Kinsey Scale position and gender identity. Results suggest that while there is no relationship between femininity and degree of homosexuality, masculinity is inversely related depen…
Body Image, Body Satisfaction, and Unsafe Anal Intercourse Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
Using survey results from the 1998 Twin Cities Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Festival (N = 535), we explored associations between body image and unsafe anal intercourse (UAI) among men who have sex with men (MSM), and evaluated whether body satisfaction mediated this association. MSM who reported underweight body image had lower odds than those who reported average weight of UAI (AOR = 0.33; 95% CI = 0.13, 0.85); body satis…
Bisexuality and Sexually Related Activities on the Internet
The aim of the current study was to investigate differences and similarities in participants' use of the Internet for sexually related purposes. An additional goal was to compare heterosexuals, bisexuals, and gay men/lesbians in Sweden regarding the kinds of sexually related activities that they engage in online. Data were collected in 2002 through an online questionnaire from 1,458 respondents who reported that they use the Internet for sexually…
Measurement of prison social climate
We review and describe prison climate measurement studies. We compared the factor patterns and stability from three domains of the Prison Social Climate survey (PSC) (Environmental quality of life; Personal well-being; and Safety and security). Stability was compared using randomly split halves of inmate responses from 10 selected US federal prison samples ( n = 950): there were no significant differences. Factor patterns on the same instrument w…
Coming out online
The Advantages and Limitations of Seeking Sex Online
The Internet has developed as a major site for sexual activity, both cybersex and for making contacts for sex in real life (IRL). As part of a major study of HIV-risk behavior on the Internet and IRL , we obtained on-line responses from 1,017 Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) in the U.S. Open-ended questions solicited responses regarding whether respondents preferred to meet sexual partners first IRL (48.4%), on the Internet (31.6%), or "it …
Beyond the Biological Model
Past research on homosexuality has been based on two assumptions: one, that gender is the critical determinant of a sexual relationship, and two, that sexual orientation is an essential condition. This paper argues that investigation of sexual relationships on these bases tests only within, rather than between, paradigms of possible relationships. It assumes that choice of partners is based on a number of physical and psychological characteristic…
Quality of Life Change and Individual Differences in Stimulus Screening in Relation to Incidence of Illness
A considerable amount of evidence indicates that a high rate of life changes—a source of continued and unavoidable arousal—is detrimental to health and psychological well-being. The present study hypothesized that sustained high-arousal states are unpreferred and that the persistence of unpreferred emotional states is harmful. Using a conceptual framework for a comprehensive description of emotional states and the differential preferences for the…

Stigma, Sex, and Society
This paper takes a critical look at the hormonal basis of sexual behavior and concludes that it plays no part in determination of sexual activity or sexual preference in any of its forms including homosexuality and transsexualism. The empirical evidence of psychosexual functioning does not support Money's schema which suggest that sexual variation (homosexuality), transsexualism, and transvestism are incongruities of gender identity. At alternati…
Illnesses, Accidents, and Alcohol Use as Functions of the Arousing Quality and Pleasantness of Life Changes
Life changes were rated for their arousing quality and pleasantness-unpleasantness. Number of life changes and arousing quality of life changes correlated .92 and both were positively related to a composite measure of physical, psychosomatic, and psychological symptoms, incidence of accidents, and alcohol use. Nonscreeners, i.e., more arousable persons, experienced more illnesses, as did females who are generally more arousable than males. More d…
Psychological Malpractice and the Anti‐Cult Battle
This paper looks at the appearance in Australia of ‘deprogramming’ (brainwashing) methods and the misuse of psychological techniques against cults. It is suggested that the misuse of such techniques is more dangerous and constitutes a greater threat to civil liberties than the cults themselves, and possibilities for action by psychologists are discussed

Primary Care and Medical Education
There is considerable argument for the value of educating medical students in the basics of primary care, comprehensive care and concern for psychological needs of patients. However, medical schools do not place much emphasis on primary care. Most clinical experiences take place in tertiary care centers, and most teaching is provided by specialists. Relatively little attention is paid to psychological issues of care and development of interperson…
Early Memories, Early Experiences and Personality
Theory and earlier research indicates that the content of the earliest memory recalled is related to the ‘life-style’ of the individual. Cultural and sex differences have been found to be involved at a significant level The major study reported here confirms earlier reports and finds, furthermore, that personality as measured by the E. P. Q., in complex interaction with age and sex, may have a significant effect on both the type of earliest impor…
Societal relationships and gender role in homosexuals
The proposition that feminine gender role in male homosexuals is a function of societal sex roles and attitudes toward homosexuality, as well as parental factors, was examined by administering tests of gender role, gender role conservatism, and attitudes toward parents to a sample of 176 Swedish and 163 Australian homosexual men. With homosexuality constant, it was found that feminine gender identity was more characteristic of the homosexuals in …
Locus of control in obesity
One hundred and thirty‐three obese women were administered a modified version of the Reid‐Ware Locus of Control questionnaire prior to jaw wiring. The factorial structure of the questionnaire was examined, and found to be primarily a unidimensional measure of internal and external locus of control, with two subscales. Total score had greatest predictive validity in terms of the four criteria of success of weight loss while wired, percentage weigh…

Child-Rearing Patterns and Dimensions of Personality
The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and EMBU Inventory for measurement of child-rearing practices were administered to 85 university students. 72 medical and surgical patients, and 66 employees of a state department in order to assess the relationships between personality dimensions and child-rearing. Results indicate that parents of extraverts tend to be performance-oriented and stimulating, parents of high psychoticism scorers tend to b…
Intelligence Testing in Australian Aboriginals
There has been a great deal of debate regarding the fairness of 'culture-fair' intelligence (IQ) tests, although this debate has until recently rested on the need to provide culture-fair tests as evidence for the innate superiority or inferiority of racial groups. While that debate will not be entered into in this paper, it must be noted that there is some doubt regarding the possibility of creating a culture-fair IQ test: Berry (1970) has gone s…
The relationship of panic‐fear to anxiety and tension in jaw wiring for obesity
Sixty patients being jaw‐wired for massive obesity were administered the MMPI Panic‐Fear scale as well as self‐ and clinician's ratings of pre‐ and post‐wiring tension and anxiety. Results confirmed the hypotheses that the scale would correlate significantly with patients' subjective feelings of tension and anxiety regarding the procedure, and that defaulters who were unwired or who unwired themselves had higher scale scores. The findings suggest…

Consequences of Decriminalization of Homosexuality
A comparison between homosexual males in two Australian states, Victoria (prior to decriminalization of homosexuality) and South Australia (eight years after decriminalization), indicated that the consequences of decriminalization did not include an increase in the negative aspects of homosexuality, such as public solicitation or sexually transmitted disease. Findings suggest that as a consequence of decriminalization, the psychological adjustmen…
Psychovenereology
Psychovenereology investigates the psychological factors in human disease (i.e. personality and lifestyle) and their effect on the rate of contraction of sexually transmitted diseases. It also describes the associated illnesses among people who contract sexually related disease and how social mores affect the individual's perception of the disease and how that perception, in turn, affects compliance with treatment. The book also addresses the who…

Utility of the Gd Scale for the Measurement of Gender-Dysphoria in Males
Responses on the 31-item Gender Dysphoria ( Gd) scale of the MMPI of 104 primary gender-dysphoric males who had undergone or were about to undergo gender-reassignment surgery, 25 secondary gender-dysphoric patients from the same clinics, and 563 male psychiatric outpatients were tabulated and specificities and sensitivities calculated. The scale had satisfactory specificity, correctly identifying 98.1% of subjects. Sensitivity was unsatisfactory …
Aids And The Pursuit Of Happiness
This paper examines the effect of AIDS‐related discrimination on the philosophical right to the pursuit of happiness. Essentialisation of AIDS and homosexual status and blame for disease are associated with attitudinal, affective and behavioural discrimination. Such prejudice may lead to damaged self image and psychological dysfunction, and may also increase stress and disease progression. The possible effects of limiting discriminatory utterance…
Prevalence of classes of risk behaviors for HIV infection in a randomly selected Australian population
A random, geographically stratified sample of over 2,600 individuals aged 16 and over was interviewed in all states and territories of Australia to determine the prevalence of classes of behaviors which are associated with HIV infection. Returns from the anonymous risk behavior questionnaire (60.2% return rate) suggested that the prevalence of both male and female homosexual behavior, and contact with prostitutes, was substantially lower than tha…
