Intersecting Sexual Behavior and Gender Identity Stigmas Among Transgender Women in the United States
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…
Measuring Equity in the Hospital Setting
BACKGROUND: Health care quality varies by patient factors, including race-and-ethnicity and preferred language. Addressing inequities requires identifying them and incentivizing equity. OBJECTIVES: We apply an approach first implemented in the Medicare Advantage setting to measure equity in patient experiences by race-and-ethnicity [Asian American and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI), Black, Hispanic, vs. White] and language pref…
Sex-Positivity, Medical Mistrust, and PrEP Conspiracy Beliefs Among HIV-Negative Cisgender Black Sexual Minority Men in Atlanta, Georgia
Measuring Inconsistency in Quality Across Patient Groups to Target Quality Improvement
BACKGROUND: Quality improvement (QI) may be aimed at improving care for all patients, or it may be targeted at only certain patient groups. Health care providers have little guidance when determining when targeted QI may be preferred. OBJECTIVES: The aim was to develop a method for quantifying performance inconsistency and guidelines for when inconsistency indicates targeted QI, which we apply to the performance of health plans for different pati…
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…
Intersectional internalized stigma among Black gay and bisexual men
Internalized stigma undermines health among people diagnosed with HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI), yet limited research has examined how internalized stigma develops. Black gay and bisexual men ( n = 151) reported their race and sexual orientation internalized stigma once before HIV/STI diagnosis and their HIV/STI internalized stigma monthly for 1 year after HIV/STI diagnosis. Multilevel analyses demonstrated that race and sex…
Masculine ideology and Black men who have sex with men's interest in HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)
We examined how traditional masculinity and stigma surrounding HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) affect PrEP interest among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM). One hundred twenty-three men attending a Black Gay Pride event completed measures assessing traditional masculinity, PrEP stigma, and PrEP interest along with two behavioral measures of interest in PrEP. Results demonstrated that avoidance of femininity directly related to interest i…
Factors associated with awareness and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among Black men who have sex with men with a recent STI diagnosis
Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) with a recent STI diagnosis are at particularly high risk for HIV infection and, as such, are a population for whom we must focus our antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) implementation efforts. Understanding the factors that are associated with awareness and use of PrEP among BMSM with a recent STI diagnosis is a critical component of meeting our HIV prevention goals. For the current study, BMSM (…
Links Between Sexual Orientation and Disclosure Among Black MSM
Health care discrimination, sex behavior disclosure, and awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis among Black men who have sex with men
Perceived healthcare-related discrimination plays a particularly important role in PrEP awareness for BMSM who are 30 years of age and older. Discrimination in healthcare settings may impact BMSM's ability, particularly those who are older, to access PrEP information. Healthcare professionals must establish procedures for identifying appropriate patients for PrEP, and prioritize addressing the psychosocial factors that impede PrEP awareness for t…
