Trends in the prevalence of HIV, HCV, and co-infection and associated factors among young people who inject drugs (PWID) in Catalonia (2008–2019)
People who inject drugs (PWID) face a significantly increased risk of blood-borne virus (BBV) infections, including HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV), as well as co-infections. To better understand this issue, bio-behavioral surveillance studies were conducted among PWID attending harm reduction facilities in Catalonia, forming part of the comprehensive Integrated HIV/STI Surveillance System since 2008. The goal of this study was to describe the pr…
Factors associated with PrEP knowledge and intention to use PrEP among HIV-negative men and trans women sex workers in Spain
Lack of data regarding knowledge and intention to use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among sex workers exists in Spain. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis based on data from SexCohort study, which included male (MSW) and trans women sex workers (TWSW), aged ≥18 and recruited in two community-based centres in Barcelona, Spain. Of 116 TWSW and 79 MSW, 49.1% and 58.2% had factual knowledge of PrEP, and 40.3% and 70.1% had the intention to use …
Sexual Orientation and Age of First Drug Use Among Adults in the United States
BACKGROUND: Early onset of drug use could lead to long-term impairments, and research suggests that substance use and substance use disorders are more common among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals. We sought to determine whether adults of different sexual identities were at differential risk for an earlier onset of drug use. METHODS: We examined data from adults participating in the five waves (2015-2019) of the National Survey on Dru…
Comparison of the Influence of Internalized Homonegativity on Sexual Risk Behavior of Men Who Have Sex with Men in Spain and Turkey
Objectives: This study aimed to understand how the association between internalized homonegativity (IH) and sexual risk behavior differed in Spain (N = 3,336) and Turkey (N = 550). Methods: We used multigroup structural equation modeling. Results: HIV and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) knowledge mediated the relationship between IH and sexual risk behavior among MSM in Spain, but not among men in Turkey. Higher HIV/PrEP knowledge was associated …
Challenging Heteronormativity
Using data from the Spanish Labor Force Survey between 2006 and 2018, we explore whether sexual orientation causes wage differences for partnered women and men in Spain. The study confirms that men in same-sex couples significantly earn less than men in opposite-sex couples, confirming our hypothesis for the 'hegemonic masculinity premium.' Women in same-sex couples also outearn women in opposite-sex couples, but this effect disappears after cont…
Influence of Internalised Homonegativity on Sexual Risk Behaviour of Men Who Have Sex with Men in Spain
In a sample of men who have sex with men (MSM) (N = 3436) in Spain who bear intrinsic HIV risk, we investigated how internalised homonegativity (IH) is associated with the number of non-steady male partners with condomless intercourse (as a proxy of sexual risk behaviour). Using structural equation modelling (SEM), we examined the relationship between IH and sexual risk behaviour, and mediating effects of HIV/PrEP knowledge and substance use duri…
A Missed Opportunity for Men? Partnered and Employed Individuals' Involvement with Housework during the Covid-19 Lockdown in the UK
Given the outbreak of the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), pandemic during March 2020, lockdown measures taken by governments have forced many families, especially those who have children, to re-arrange domestic and market work division. In this study, I investigate the factors associated with partnered and employed individuals' involvement with housework during the COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom. Drawing evidence from the first wave …
