A Qualitative Exploration of Sexual Agency in LGBTQ+ Young Adults Who are Experiencing Homelessness
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) young adults (YA) experiencing homelessness are at disproportionate risk of negative sexual health outcomes. Understanding sexual agency and risk-taking behavior of LGBTQ+ YA experiencing homelessness is critical to designing interventions that promote sexual agency and prevent HIV/STIs, sexual violence victimization, and unwanted pregnancies. To explore sexual agency among this population, …
Rapid or Immediate ART, HIV Stigma, Medical Mistrust, and Retention in Care
Rapid or immediate antiretroviral therapy (iART) after HIV diagnosis improves linkage to care and time to viral suppression. However, iART may affect or be affected by HIV-related stigma and medical mistrust. In this mixed-methods pilot study, we examined the bi-directional role of HIV stigma, medical mistrust, and visit adherence (VA) in the context of iART in a diverse, newly diagnosed patient population. Participants were recruited from an HIV…

Maximizing Response Rates to Ads for Free At-Home HIV Testing on a Men-for-Men Geosocial Sexual Networking App
Internet-based recruitment can be effective in reaching large numbers of geographically diverse individuals. Geosocial sexual networking apps on smartphones have emerged as the modal way in which men who have sex with men (MSM) meet sex partners, and as venues for sexual health research. We report on the performance of three types of ads—text-only, text with male figure (no face), and text with male figure (with face)—used on a geosocial sexual n…

What Motivates Gay and Bisexual Men to Participate in PrEP-Related Research
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has been demonstrated effective at preventing HIV among key populations like gay and bisexual men (GBM). Yet, there remains a continued need to engage GBM in PrEP behavioral and clinical research (e.g., to monitor adherence and retention in the PrEP treatment cascade). We report on the factors motivating GBM to participate in a PrEP behavioral study, with the aim of our results to inform future recruitment efforts …
