I Felt Somewhat Cheated and Deceived When that Roadblock Came”
Substantial advances have been made in medical technologies to reduce HIV transmission in previous decades. However, disparities regarding HIV transmission continue to persist, with Black sexual minority men (BSMM) disproportionately impacted. These disparities are driven by several different economic and socio-cultural barriers, some of which include the ongoing mistrust or distrust of medicine and science among communities of color. Furthermore…
Rapid Start of HIV Antiretroviral Therapy in New York State
Rapid start of antiretroviral therapy (ART) after an HIV diagnosis is a novel approach with demonstrated benefits for HIV care. However, utilization of this approach remains poor in the United States. Using retrospective reviews of HIV clinical care data from the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute's Quality of Care Program, we examined changes in rapid start of ART from 2019 to 2022 to assess the degree to which the rapid start mo…
Social Network Characteristics Associated with More Frequent HIV and STI Prevention Conversations
Sexual Orientation, HIV Vulnerability-Enhancing Behaviors and HIV Status Neutral Care Among Black Cisgender Sexual Minority Men in the Deep South
HIV Information Avoidance, HIV Stigma, and Medical Mistrust among Black Sexual Minority Men in the Southern United States
Latent Profile Patterns of Network-Level Norms and Associations with Individual-Level Sexual Behaviors
Examining stigmatizing beliefs about PrEP use among Black sexual minority men
Stigma often is cited as a barrier to the uptake and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV among Black sexual minority men (SMM). Socialized gender norms (i.e., restrictive emotionality) are associated with experiences and manifestations of stigma in men. However, the association between restrictive emotionality and the stigma surrounding PrEP use has received little attention in previous research. The present study examines the a…
Rejection-identification and increased use of geosocial networking apps to meet male sexual partners among Black men who have sex with men
Objective: The use of geosocial networking (GSN) apps to meet male sexual partners may contribute to HIV infection risk for Black men who have sex with men (MSM), but the psychosocial underpinnings of this behavior are not understood. In social psychology, the Rejection-Identification Model posits that identification with a socially stigmatized group emerges as a means of coping in response to perceived stigmatization-which can shape behavior. Th…
This Is To Help Me Move Forward”
In the United States (U.S.), Black sexual minority men (BSMM) are disproportionately burdened by HIV. Prevention advances, such as HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), play a key role in reducing HIV transmission and improving our understanding of sexual expression and health. Despite these advances, little is known regarding the potential link between PrEP use and positive sexuality, including the benefits that BSMM see in accessing PrEP. We con…
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 (…
