Building relationships between academic researchers, community organizations, and faith-based organizations can improve the acceptability of and access to HIV testing among African immigrant communities by addressing perceived barriers to HIV testing
African Immigrants and the End of the HIV Epidemic in the United States
African immigrants in the United States are disproportionately affected by HIV yet remain overlooked in public health strategies such as the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative. Many reside in EHE-prioritized counties, but their categorization under the broad “Black/African American” label obscures their distinct pathways to HIV acquisition and barriers to care. We explore how African immigrants can be more effectively prioritized in the EHE…
Measurement of Sexual Behavior Stigma in Cisgender Mexican Sexual Minority Men
We used data from the 2018 and 2019 cycles of the American Men’s Internet Survey (AMIS) and the Encuesta de Sexo Entre Hombres (ESEH) (2017) to investigate measurement invariance of a sexual behavior stigma scale among Mexican gay, bisexual, and other sexual minority men (SMM). Employing both a two- and three-group multiple group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA), we established configural invariance of the scale, suggesting a uniform factor p…

However, because African immigrant groups are typically categorized as "Black," little is known about their preventative healthcare needs. Differences in culture, life and healthcare experiences between African immigrant populations and US-born people may influence preventive health care uptake. Thus, policymakers and healthcare providers lack information needed to …

Comparative Geographic Concentrations of 4 Sexually Transmitted Infections
Objectives. We measured and compared the concentration of primary and secondary syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydial infection, and genital herpes in a large county with urban, suburban, and rural settings. Methods. We geocoded sexually transmitted infections reported to King County, Washington health department in 2000–2001 to census tract of residence. We used a model-based approach to measure concentration with Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients. …
