HIV Self-Test Program Preferences Among Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Southern United States
Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic men who have sex with men (BHMSM) in the Southern United States (US) have the highest rates of new HIV diagnoses in the country. Self-testing can increase detection and contribute to decreasing diagnoses, but it is unclear which self-test program characteristics encourage the highest engagement. To inform the design of self-test programs, we conducted an online discrete choice experiment with BHMSM in this region w…
Extreme Community PrEP Stigma Perceptions as a Potential Deterrent to PrEP Use Among Black and Latino Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Deep South
Black and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Deep South have the lowest HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use rates in the United States, and PrEP stigma may deter PrEP use. However, most research on PrEP stigma is at the interpersonal level, which hinders the development of community-level PrEP anti-stigma campaigns. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a secondary analysis of an online survey of Black and Latino MSM in the D…
Efficacy of Behavioral Intervention, Text Messaging, and Extended Intervention to Address Alcohol Misuse in Sexual Minority Men with HIV
Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Game Plan for PrEP
The daily association between affect and alcohol use
Influential psychological theories hypothesize that people consume alcohol in response to the experience of both negative and positive emotions. Despite two decades of daily diary and ecological momentary assessment research, it remains unclear whether people consume more alcohol on days they experience higher negative and positive affect in everyday life. In this preregistered meta-analysis, we synthesized the evidence for these daily associatio…
Feasibility, Appropriateness, and Willingness to Use Virtual Reality as an Adjunct to Counseling among Addictions Counselors
Introduction Research suggests that virtual reality (VR) experiences can be helpful as adjunctive tools in psychotherapy for some mental health conditions. VR is a computer-generated experience that produces a feeling of being immersed in a different environment. VR experiences could be useful in the treatment of substance use disorders, and several are currently being tested. However, few psychotherapists report using VR experiences in their pra…
Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men Who Are Not on Oral PrEP may be Less Interested in Available Injectable Products than in Oral PrEP
The association between sexual orientation discrimination and drinking among men who have sex with men
Emotional Reactions to High-Risk Sex among Sexual Minority Men
Rates of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are high among sexual minority men (SMM). A large body of research has explored determinants of HIV/STI risk behavior, but few studies have explored emotional consequences of these events. Understanding the valence, timing, and strength of emotional reactions to sexual risk could inform use of specific behavior change techniques in interventions (such as anticipated regret) and identif…
Longitudinal effects of home-based HIV self-testing on well-being and health empowerment among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States
HIV self-test (HST) kits have been available for purchase directly by consumers since 2012. However, public health and prevention programs have been slow to adopt self-testing as a strategy for improving testing rates and regularity, in part due to concerns about its effects on the well-being of users and lack of follow-up. This study explored whether there were differences in several constructs related to well-being, including health-related qua…
A Preliminary Randomized Controlled Trial of Game Plan, A Web Application to Help Men Who Have Sex with Men Reduce Their HIV Risk and Alcohol Use
Characteristics of Sex Events, Partners, and Motivations and Their Associations with HIV-Risk Behavior in a Daily Diary Study of High-Risk Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
HIV-related thought avoidance, sexual risk, and alcohol use among men who have sex with men
HIV-related "cognitive escape" refers to a tendency to avoid thoughts associated with HIV, which may be particularly common among men who have sex with men (MSM) who are often inundated with HIV information, potentially to the point of fatigue. HIV-related cognitive escape is associated with increased sexual risk behaviors, such as condomless sex, and heavier alcohol use patterns. Other studies show that some MSM may use alcohol specifically to f…

Acute Effects of Intoxication and Arousal on Approach/Avoidance Biases Toward Sexual Risk Stimuli in Heterosexual Men
Impulsivity moderates the association between depressive rumination and number of quit attempt failures by smokers
Negative mood states have been shown to increase the likelihood of relapse among smokers attempting to quit. Rumination increases the vulnerability to depression among smokers, a relationship that is intensified by impulsivity. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between depressive rumination and impulsivity on smokers' (n = 53) lifetime quit attempt failures. Depressive rumination was positively associated with number of quit…
