Uncovering geographic variations in HIV burden and prevention
Despite advancements in HIV prevention and treatment, disparities persist across the U.S. that are geographically and demographically unique. This study analyzed HIV burden and prevention efforts in three urban counties, Suffolk County, MA (Boston), Orange County, FL (Orlando), and Philadelphia County, PA (Philadelphia), using AIDSVu data. We assessed HIV prevalence, new diagnoses, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) use, PrEP-to-Need Ratio (PnR), an…
Integrating Legal Aid into HIV Care
Community-Based Providers’ Perspectives on Addressing Loneliness and Mental Health Services for Migrant Youth and Emerging Adults
Migrant youth and emerging adults (MYEA), ages 15 to 29, who recently migrated to the United States are vulnerable to experiencing chronic loneliness related to discrimination, social isolation, and stigma. Yet, there is limited intervention research on detecting, mitigating, and addressing the effects of chronic loneliness for MYEA. This study examined community-based providers’ perspectives on the effects of social isolation and loneliness on M…
A qualitative study of antiretroviral therapy adherence interruptions among young Latino men who have sex with men with HIV
Consistent antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is necessary for HIV viral suppression. However, adherence may fluctuate around daily routines and life events, warranting intervention support. We examined reasons for ART adherence interruptions, using in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews, among young (18–34-year-old) Latino men who have sex with men (YLMSM) with HIV. Interviews (n = 24) were guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior,…
Latina/o Sexualities
Latina/os are currently the largest minority population in the United States. They are also one of the fastest growing. Yet, we have very limited research and understanding of their sexualities. Instead, stereotypical images flourish even though scholars have challenged the validity and narrowness of these images and the lack of attention to the larger social context. Gathering the latest empirical work in the social and behavioral sciences, this…
Providing HIV Comprehensive Care to Latino/as Who Inject Drugs
Latino/as who inject drugs have the lowest level of retention in HIV care and the lowest HIV viral suppression rates in the United States. We set up an intervention to provide comprehensive, integrated HIV primary care services to Spanish-speaking and bilingual HIV-positive people who inject drugs of Puerto Rican ancestry in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2016, the rate of HIV viral suppression in our intervention (83%) far exceeded the rate for …
Long-term health outcomes of childhood sexual abuse and peer sexual contact among an urban sample of behaviourally bisexual Latino men
While previous research indicates high rates of childhood sexual abuse among Latino men who have sex with men, few studies have examined the long-term health outcomes of childhood sexual abuse specifically among behaviourally bisexual Latino men. In a sample of 148 behaviourally bisexual Latino men in New York City, we examined associations between childhood sexual abuse and multiple dimensions of adult health: sexual risk behaviours; sexually tr…
Exploring the Roles of Race, Ethnicity, Nationality, and Skin Color in the Sexual Partner Choices of Bisexual Latino Men
I Kick It to Both, but not in the Street
This article examines how behaviorally bisexual Latino men negotiate, modify, and perform their gender within distinct social spheres. An analysis was made of 148 sexual histories of Latino men aged eighteen to sixty, from a cross-sectional, multiyear study in New York City. A familial sphere of gender norm negotiation was sharply contrasted with conformity to elements of dominant or hegemonic forms of masculinity performed on streets of neighbor…
Latino men who have sex with transgender women
Latino men who have sex with transgender women make up an overlooked sector of the population that requires more attention than is currently given in sexuality and gender studies, particularly in regard to their non-commercial, long-term sexual and romantic relationships with transgender women. Sixty-one sexual histories were selected for this qualitative analysis from a larger study on Latino male bisexuality in the New York City metropolitan ar…
How Narratives of Fear Shape Girls’ Participation in Community Life in Two Conflict-Affected Populations
Numerous social factors shape girls' lives in conflict-affected settings, affecting their vulnerability to gender-based violence (GBV). Qualitative research methods were used to examine spaces of perceived safety and risk for girls living in two conflict-affected populations: camps in Ethiopia hosting primarily South Sudanese and Sudanese refugees and communities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Three major themes emerged: (a) challenges …
Relationship Factors Associated with Sexual Risk Behavior and High-Risk Alcohol Consumption Among Latino Men Who Have Sex with Men
Attitudes toward Bisexual Men and Women among a Nationally Representative Probability Sample of Adults in the United States
As bisexual individuals in the United States (U.S.) face significant health disparities, researchers have posited that these differences may be fueled, at least in part, by negative attitudes, prejudice, stigma, and discrimination toward bisexual individuals from heterosexual and gay/lesbian individuals. Previous studies of individual and social attitudes toward bisexual men and women have been conducted almost exclusively with convenience sample…
Correlates of HIV and STI testing among Latino men who have sex with men in New York City
We assessed the extent to which sociodemographic, personal, and behavioral factors are associated with human immunodeficiency virus/sexually transmitted infection (HIV/STI) testing among a diverse group of Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) in New York City. The triangulation approach was used to synthesize data from 176 MSM who completed an in-person or phone questionnaire about substance use, alcohol consumption, sexual behaviors, and HIV/S…
Mechanisms of Familial Influence on Reentry among Formerly Incarcerated Latino Men
In the United States more than 10,000 people are released from state and federal prisons every week and often reenter the communities in which they were arrested. Formerly incarcerated individuals face considerable challenges to securing employment and housing. Subsequently, approximately two-thirds of former prisoners are rearrested within three years of their release. Latino men represent the fastest growing ethnic group of prisoners in the Uni…
Heteronormativity and Sexual Partnering Among Bisexual Latino Men
At times, I feel like I'm sinning’
In this paper, we examine non-lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-affirming religiosity among behaviourally-bisexual Latino men as it relates to sexual attitudes, experiences and behaviours. We asked how does religiosity correspond to masculine identities, sex roles and condom efficacy? And how might religiosity influence contexts of health risks? Data were analysed from a mixed-methods study of 142 behaviourally-bisexual Latino men, aged 18-6…
Sex Markets and Sexual Opportunity Structures of Behaviorally Bisexual Latino Men in the Urban Metropolis of New York City
Generational changes in the meanings of sex, sexual identity and stigma among Latino young and adult men
In this paper we examine the sexual identities of Latino men who have sex with men and women, in which an analysis was made of 150 sexual histories of Latino men aged 18-60. This study asks how the bisexual identity and experience of stigma is different for Latino men along the generational spectrum and how do these differences relate to kinship support and gender ideology? In the process of analysis, two main clusters of characteristics were ide…
Exploring the Desires and Sexual Culture of Men Who Have Sex with Male-to-Female Transgender Women
This qualitative study explored the desires and sexual culture of men who have sex with male-to-female (MTF) transgender women. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 men in New York City and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Participants were asked about their sexual and romantic histories, their experiences with MTF transgender women, and their perceptions of HIV risk. The findings suggest that men's desires for MTF transgender women are complex and v…
Social Network Factors Associated with Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Formerly Incarcerated Latino Men
This study examined the association between social network factors and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among formerly incarcerated Latino men. Participants (N = 200) completed a cross-sectional survey assessing sociodemographics, incarceration history, social network characteristics (e.g., network size, proportion of network members who inject drugs, and perceived social support), and STI/HIV screening results. Logistic regression analyses…
The "knucklehead" approach and what matters in terms of health for formerly incarcerated Latino men
Youth Perspectives on the Intersections of Violence, Gender, and Hip-Hop
Youth's perceptions of violence within their social environments can provide relevant insights into the gender-based interpersonal violence epidemic in inner-city communities. To explore this issue, we examined two sets of narratives with young men and women, aged 15 to 21, involved in hip-hop culture in New York City. In the analysis, we reveal youth accounts of street and interpersonal violence, examining the interconnections with gender and hi…
Religious responses to HIV and Aids
Sexual health and life experiences
Research on behaviourally bisexual Latino men in the USA has not yet examined sexual health issues among men living in diverse areas of the nation, including the Midwest. A community-based participatory research approach was used to engage a diverse sample of 75 behaviourally bisexual men (25 White, 25 Black and 25 Latino). Semi-structured interviews were conducted and standard qualitative analysis procedures were used to explore data from the 25…
A Critical Analysis of the Brazilian Response to HIV/Aids
The Brazilian National AIDS Program is widely recognized as the leading example of an integrated HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment program in a developing country. We critically analyze the Brazilian experience, distinguishing those elements that are unique to Brazil from the programmatic and policy decisions that can aid the development of similar programs in other low- and middle-income and developing countries. Among the critical issues…
Bisexual Latino Men and HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections Risk
Objectives. We sought to determine whether there were differences in sexual risk among behaviorally and self-identified bisexual men, men who reported having sex with both men and women without reporting a bisexual identity and men who self-identified as bisexual but reported only recent homosexual behavior over the past 6 months. Methods.secondary data analysis, we conducted stepwise linear regression equation modeling to determine which factors…
Loneliness as a Sexual Risk Factor for Male Mexican Migrant Workers
HIV/AIDs risk among migrant workers is often examined through individual determinants with limited consideration of social context. We used data from systematic ethnographic observations, structured interviews (n = 50), and life history interviews (n = 10) to examine the relationship between loneliness and HIV/AIDS risk for recently arrived (within the last 3 years) male Mexican migrant workers in New York City. Higher levels of loneliness were s…

Promoting Sexual Health Through Action Research Among Young Male Sex Workers in RIO De Janeiro, Brazil
AIDS in Brazil, as in many parts of the world, has been an epidemic characterized by multiple parallel-localized epidemics. Youth, particularly young men who have sex with men (YMSM), are amongst the most vulnerable populations for HIV infection in Brazil. Furthermore, our research findings from the early 1990s suggested that significantly higher levels of continued unprotected anal sex among occurred among young men under the age of 24 as oppose…

Divine targets
This study explored the focus on youth in Catholic and Evangelical Pentecostal discussions about and responses to HIV and AIDS in Brazil. Key informant, oral history and in-depth interviews revealed a disconnect between young people's views of themselves as leaders in their religious institutions' responses to HIV and other social problems, and adult religious leaders' views of young people as vulnerable and in need of being 'saved'. Religious le…
