Sexually transmitted infection prevalence and Neisseria gonorrhoeae antimicrobial resistance patterns in men who have sex with men with or without urethral discharge syndrome in Johannesburg, South Af…
We conducted a cross-sectional study to estimate the prevalence of urogenital and extragenital sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among men who have sex with men (MSM) with and without urethral discharge syndrome, to assess infections missed by syndromic management, and to describe phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Neisseria gonorrhoeae . The study included 189 MSM attending the Engage Men’s Health Clinic in Johannesburg, So…
Chemsex-Related Risk Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
The present research includes two studies mapping psychological vulnerability to chemsex and related risks over 12 months. Chemsex refers to the intentional use of psychoactive substances in sexual contexts among men who self-identify as men who have sex with men. Study 1 (N = 503) used latent profile analysis to map individual differences in personality traits, identity resilience, and homonegativity associated with chemsex and mental and sexual…
It was something that I let slip by the wayside’
Our findings highlight the need to design more inclusive vaccine campaigns during evolving public health emergencies that consider how the intersection of stigma, characteristics, practices, and circumstances might lead to exclusion and inhibit vaccine uptake. Our persona approach further highlights the need to consider whether shared barriers to engagement (which can span multiple identities and positionalities) require tailored solutions. Guide…
Internalized Sexual Orientation Stigma and Mental Health in a Religiously Diverse Sample of Gay and Bisexual Men in Lebanon
This study explores the correlates of internalized sexual orientation stigma, psychological distress and depression in a religiously diverse sample of gay and bisexual men in Lebanon. A convenience sample of 200 participants completed a cross-sectional survey. Bisexual men reported greater internalized sexual orientation stigma and less outness to their family and were more likely to face family pressure to have a heterosexual marriage than gay m…
Coping styles in heterosexual and non-heterosexual students in Lebanon
The Lebanese population has been exposed to multiple stressors associated with political and economic instability for decades. Using survey data from 203 university students in Beirut, this study focuses on the factors that predict coping styles in men and women and heterosexual and non-heterosexual people in Lebanon. Heterosexual people reported higher religiosity and ethnic identification but lower psychological distress than non-heterosexual p…
Sexual Health among HIV-Negative Gay and Bisexual Men in Lebanon
Unlike native gay and bisexual male (GBM), immigrant/refugee GBM in Lebanon have an added vulnerability to poor sexual health. The objective was to compare sexual health variables between these two communities. GBM who are immigrants/refugees were more likely to report non-university level of education, heterosexual marriage, engagement in sex work, past diagnosis of syphilis, healthcare and employment stigma, lower STI knowledge, and a higher nu…
Psychological distress and self-harm in a religiously diverse sample of Lebanese students
Drawing on identity process theory, this study explores the protective and risk factors of psychological distress and self-harm in a religiously diverse sample of heterosexual and non-heterosexual students in Lebanon. A convenience sample of 209 undergraduate students participated in a cross-sectional survey and completed measures of religiosity, identity threat, psychological distress and self-harm. Results indicated that non-heterosexual partic…
Social Identity and Attitudes toward HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis
This study focuses on the role of social identity and prejudice as causal variables in public attitudes toward pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in a UK sample. In all, 222 participants participated in an experimental vignette study with a 2 × 2 × 2 design with between-participants factors of ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender, and completed measures of attitudes toward gay men, Black Africans, and PrEP. Kruskal–Wallis tests showed significan…
