  • Transportation, administrative burden, and Covid-19: A structural intersectional analysis of barriers to HIV care among Black sexual minority men living with HIV in the US South

    Open Access•Chadwick K Campbell, Hannah E Reynolds et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2025

    While much research has focused on individual (e.g., mental health, substance use) and structural factors (e.g., stigma, institutional racism) driving HIV inequities, less studied are the macro-structural factors like policies governing healthcare and transportation. Using the framework of structural intersectionality, we explore how transportation barriers and administrative burden - the experience of accessing safety net services as burdensome …

  • Covid-19 and the Syndemic of Intimate Partner Violence, Mental Health, Substance Use, and HIV Care Engagement Among Black Sexual Minority Men Living with HIV in the US South

    Open Access•Carrie L Nacht, Hannah E Reynolds et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2025

    The findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the syndemics of IPV, mental health, and substance use, and these acted as barriers to HIV care engagement. Future adherence interventions should synergistically address syndemic factors to maximize effectiveness

    Open Access•Jeffrey D Grant, Helena D Green et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS and Behavior•2025

    Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV, particularly in urban Middle Eastern areas like Beirut, Lebanon. Understanding factors influencing HIV prevention, such as condom use and HIV testing is crucial. This study used the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model determinants and explored social environment factors to assess their associations with condomless sex and HIV testing. Model fit was also exami…

    Open Access•Carrie L Nacht, Cody Lentz et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS and Behavior•2025

    Black sexual minority men living with HIV (BSMM+) in the Southern United States encounter multiple forms of discrimination, which are associated with decreased HIV care engagement. We analyzed data from 166 BSMM + in the South to assess direct associations between experiences of racism, heterosexism, and HIV-related discrimination with HIV care engagement. We further investigated indirect associations through three mediators: internalized racism,…

  • LAI-ART Awareness, Willingness, Barriers and Facilitators among Black Sexual Minority Men Living with HIV in the US South

    Open Access•Chadwick K Campbell, Kirstin Kielhold et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2024

    Black sexual minority men (BSMM) continue to bear a disproportionate burden of HIV in the United States, with the highest incidence and prevalence in the southern region of the country. In Texas, BSMM living with HIV (BSMM+) have the lowest rates of viral suppression of all SMM and have lower antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence than white and Hispanic SMM. Long-acting injectable ART (LAI-ART) can potentially overcome several barriers to dail…

    Erik D Storholm, Matt G Mutchler et al.•ARTICLE•Behavioral Medicine•2019

    The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is one of only two global regions where rates of HIV are currently on the rise. In Lebanon, new HIV infections are increasing most rapidly among young men who have sex with men (YMSM). While, the majority of YMSM in Lebanon report having recently engaged in condomless anal intercourse, many report reluctance to seek HIV prevention services for fear of stigma and discrimination. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrE…
