    Open AccessJordan M Sang, Lu Wang et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023

  • Organising care and community in the era of the ‘gay disease’

    Open AccessJohn Paul Catungal, Ben Klassen et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2021Citada por: 4Referências: 24

    Scholarship on the place of the HIV/AIDS crisis in urban geographies of sexual minority activism has powerfully insisted on the importance of community organising as a response to state and societal failures and to their homophobic, AIDS phobic and morally conservative underpinnings. This paper extends this scholarship by examining the urban social geographies of exclusion produced by such community organising efforts. It draws on the perspective…

  • “Condoms are … like public transit. It’s something you want everyone else to take”

    Open AccessBenjamin J Klassen, Ben Klassen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    These findings indicate that notions of "safety" and "risk" based on consistent condom use are eroding as other modes of prevention gain visibility. Community-based and public health interventions will need to shift prevention messaging from advocacy for universal condom use toward combination prevention in order to meet gay men's current prevention needs. Interventions should advance gay men's communication and self-advocacy skills in order to o…

  • HIV leadership programming attendance is associated with PrEP and PEP awareness among young, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Vancouver, Canada

    Open AccessKalysha Closson, Sarah Chown et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Younger GBM, who are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic, are less aware of new prevention technologies than older GBM, but attending peer-based HIV-leadership programs ameliorates age-disparities in HIV-prevention knowledge and treatment optimism

  • Gay Men's Understanding and Education of New HIV Prevention Technologies in Vancouver, Canada

    Open AccessBenjamin J Klassen, Ben Klassen et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2017Citada por: 3Referências: 60

    Effective rollout of HIV treatment-based prevention such as pre-exposure prophylaxis and treatment as prevention has been hampered by poor education, limited acceptability, and stigma among gay men. We undertook a thematic analysis regarding the education sources and acceptability of these New Prevention Technologies (NPTs) using 15 semistructured interviews with gay men in Vancouver, Canada, who were early adopters of NPTs. NPT education was der…

  • “ … It’s almost therapeutic, right? Because it’s almost like that session that I never had”

    Daphne Grace, Daniel Grace et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    Limited research has explored how gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men describe the impact of their involvement in HIV and sexual health research. We enrolled 166 gay and bisexual men who tested HIV-negative at a community sexual health clinic in Vancouver, British Columbia, into a year-long mixed methods study. Thirty-three of these participants who reported recent condomless anal intercourse were purposively recruited into an embed…

  • Diagnostic Technologies in Practice

    Open AccessDaphne Grace, Daniel Grace et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2015Citada por: 1Referências: 30

    Diagnosing HIV-positive gay men through enhanced testing technologies that detect acute HIV infection (AHI) or recent HIV infection provides opportunities for individual and population health benefits. We recruited 25 men in British Columbia who received an acute ( n = 13) or recent ( n = 12) HIV diagnosis to engage in a longitudinal multiple-methods study over one year or longer. Our thematic analysis of baseline qualitative interviews revealed …

  • HIV-negative gay men's accounts of using context-dependent sero-adaptive strategies

    Daphne Grace, Sarah A Chown et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2014

    We enrolled 166 gay and bisexual men who tested HIV-negative at a community sexual health clinic in Vancouver, British Columbia, into a year-long mixed-methods study. A subsample of participants who reported recent condomless anal sex (n = 33) were purposively recruited into an embedded qualitative study and completed two in-depth qualitative interviews. Analysis of baseline interviews elicited three narratives relevant to men's use of context- o…
