Developing an mHealth program to improve HIV care continuum outcomes among young Black gay and bisexual men
This study demonstrates the potential of a video-based mHealth program to address the unique needs of YBGBM living with HIV, offering support and comprehensive information through a user-friendly interface and videos of peers living with HIV and of experts. The HCD approach allowed for continuous improvements to the concept to maximize cultural appropriateness, utility, and potential effectiveness for both YBGBM and HIV service organizations
Dependency Traits, Relationship Power, and Health Risks in Women Receiving Sexually-Transmitted Infection Clinic Services
In prior research, having traits consistent with a personality disorder has been shown to be related to substance use and high-risk sexual activity; however, few studies have examined relationships between dependency traits and health-jeopardizing behaviors. Individuals with traits consistent with dependent personality disorder may be more likely to be in a primary relationship characterized by unhealthy conditions, including physical abuse from …
Condom use problems during anal sex among men who have sex with men (MSM)
Our research aims were to: (1) assess the prevalence of two condom use problems: breakage or slippage and partial use (delayed application or early removal) among men who have sex with men (MSM) seeking services in urban US STD clinics; and (2) examine the association between these condom use problems and participant, partner and partnership characteristics. Analysis was restricted to HIV-negative MSM who reported having anal sex at least once in…
Demographic and Sexual Behavior Comparisons of Indian and U.S. Internet Samples of Men who have Sex with Men
Data were collected via the Internet on sexual behaviors of Indian men who have sex with men (MSM; n = 171); these data were compared to online American MSM (n = 682). Among Indian MSM, 51% had never been tested for HIV, 100% believed themselves to be HIV-uninfected, and 22% (secondary Internet male partners) to 43% (primary male partners) reported not using condoms during last anal intercourse. While U.S. MSM were more likely to not use condoms …
Effects of an Internet-Based Intervention for HIV Prevention
Content among Locally Approved Hipaa Authorization Forms for Research
THIS STUDY WAS DESIGNED TO ASSESS differences in the content of HIPAA authorization forms now required for clinical research. Authorization forms were collected from 111 institutions, including academic medical centers and commercial Institutional Review Boards. The requirement for an element covering the use of information acquired was fulfilled in 95% of the forms, and 100% had a statement fulfilling the core requirement of a description of the…
HIV and sexually transmitted infection prevention online
Recruitment and retention of an online sample for an HIV prevention intervention targeting men who have sex with men
There is an increasing interest in developing interventions for HIV and STD prevention that can be delivered on the Internet. However, we know little about what it takes to identify, recruit and retain participants in interventions so that we can test their efficacy and effectiveness. Objectives for this investigation were to evaluate rates of recruitment and retention in an Internet-based randomized controlled trial (RCT) to increase sexually tr…
The process of seeking sex partners online and implications for STD/HIV prevention
Research has shown that online sex-seeking among men who have sex with men (MSM) is related to elevated risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV infection; however, the process of seeking sex online is not well understood. It is important to understand the process of seeking sex partners in order to determine the best method for reaching MSM at high risk for infection. We report on baseline data from the Smart Sex Quest, an In…
Sex Hustling, Injection Drug Use, and Non-Gay Identification by Men Who Have Sex With Men
OBJECTIVE: To explore differences in demographic characteristies, risk practices, and preventive behaviors among subgroups of men who have sex with men (MSM), including gay- and non-gay-identified MSM, MSM who inject drugs, and those engaging in sex hustling. DESIGN: A secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires in a purposive sample of MSM. SETTING: Gay bars, bath houses, adult video arcad…
HIV serostatus disclosure among gay and bisexual men in four American cities
The present study examined patterns of serostatus disclosure among previously untested HIV-seropositive and HIV-seronegative gay and bisexual men recruited from four American cities (n = 701). Six months after learning their HIV serostatus, 97% of study participants had disclosed their test results to at least one other individual. Consistent with earlier studies, test results were most frequently shared with friends and the respondent's primary …
Differences in Risk Behavior and Sources of Aids Information Among Gay, Bisexual, and Straight-Identified Men Who Have Sex with Men
Comparison of Health Status, Socioeconomic Characteristics, and Knowledge and Use of HIV-Related Resources Between HIV-Infected Women and Men
OBJECTIVES: The authors compared socioeconomic characteristics, and knowledge and use of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related resources and health status measures between HIV-infected women and men registered within the Denver Health and Hospitals health care system. METHODS: Data collected through two Centers for Disease Control-funded surveillance initiatives (Adult Spectrum of Disease and Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance) were linked.…
The types of drugs used by HIV-infected injection drug users in a multistate surveillance project
OBJECTIVES. This study sought to describe the drugs used by drug injectors infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and to determine factors associated with the primary injection drug used. METHODS. A cross-section of persons 18 years of age or older reported with HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) to local health departments in 11 US states and cities was surveyed. RESULTS. Of 4162 persons interviewed, 1147 (28%) reported e…
