Perceived Access to HIV Prevention Services Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic Among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) and MSM Sex Workers in France, Russia, and Türkiye
This study examined the association between self-identification as a sex worker (SW) and perceived access to pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic HIV prevention methods among MSM in France, Russia, and Türkiye amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Globally, 17,250 MSM recruited through a geosocial networking smartphone application completed the COVID-19 disparities survey, which was administered between October and November 2020. Approximately 38% of surv…
Sexual Behavior, App Use, and Venue Comfort During Covid-19
Little global research exists exploring the impact of COVID-19 on the sexual behavior of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Using data from a global dataset representing GBMSM from 132 countries, this study assessed sexual behavior and comfort attending social and sexual venues (bars, saunas, sex parties) during the pandemic. Data were derived from a cross-sectional survey implemented by Hornet, a popular gay social-netwo…
The Potential Role of Undetectable = Untransmittable (U = U) in Reducing HIV Stigma among Sexual Minority Men in the US
The Implications of PrEP Use, Condom Use, and Partner Viral Load Status for Openness to Serodifferent Partnering Among US Sexual Minority Men (SMM)
Persistent disparities in Covid-19-associated impacts on HIV prevention and care among a global sample of sexual and gender minority individuals
As COVID-19 continues to persist, there is a need to examine its impact among sexual and gender minority individuals, especially those with intersecting vulnerabilities. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with a global sample of sexual and gender minority individuals ( n = 21,795) from October 25, 2020 to November 19, 2020, through a social networking app. We characterised the HIV prevention and HIV treatment impacts of COVID-19 and the COVID-…
Intimate Partner Violence Victimization During the Covid-19 Pandemic Among a Global Online Sample of Sexual Minority Men
Societal acceptance increases Muslim-Gay identity integration for highly religious individuals… but only when the ingroup status is stable
Reconciling religious beliefs with a sexual minority identity can be challenging. After coming out, many gay men report to renounce their religious identity or experience increased identity conflict between their religious and sexual identities. Giving up one’s own identity or identity conflict are known to predict negative wellbeing, and it is important to find ways to reduce this conflict and increase identity integration. In this experiment, w…

Associations Between Physical Distancing and Mental Health, Sexual Health and Technology Use Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Physical distancing measures, designed to limit the spread of COVID-19, have been implemented globally. We sought to understand how physical distancing impacts gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), a group disproportionately affected by poor health outcomes. A cross-sectional online survey on Hornet, a networking application (N = 10,079), measured sociodemographics, physical distancing, mental health outcomes, and sexual beha…
Country level homophobia and protective sexual health behaviours among HIV negative or untested men who have sex with men in 45 countries
Despite new, effective biomedical technologies to prevent the transmission of HIV, social and structural factors still impact the opportunity for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) to access safe sexual health services. Within this paper we describe findings of a pilot analysis that seeks to identify relationships between country level homophobia, individual-level sexualised drug use and key sexual health protective behavio…
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Sexual Minority Populations in Brazil
Economic, Mental Health, HIV Prevention and HIV Treatment Impacts of Covid-19 and the Covid-19 Response on a Global Sample of Cisgender Gay Men and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men
There is an urgent need to measure the impacts of COVID-19 among gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM). We conducted a cross-sectional survey with a global sample of gay men and other MSM (n = 2732) from April 16, 2020 to May 4, 2020, through a social networking app. We characterized the economic, mental health, HIV prevention and HIV treatment impacts of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 response, and examined whether sub-groups of our study…
Factors associated with PrEP awareness according to age and willingness to use HIV prevention technologies
Brazil has the largest population of individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Latin America with a disproportional prevalence of infection among men who have sex with men (MSM). This study evaluated PrEP awareness by age (18-24, 25-35, ≥36 years), its associated factors and the willingness to use HIV prevention technologies among MSM using a GSN app in Brazil. Inclusion criteria were ≥18 years-old, cisgender men and HIV-negative serostatus. Of 7242 in…
