Community Connectedness and Its Association with Stigma and Viral Suppression Among MSM with HIV
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV in the United States, with viral suppression rates among MSM across varied racial and ethnic groups remaining below national targets. Stigma is a major barrier to viral suppression, while community connectedness may serve as a protective factor. However, few studies have examined whether different forms of community connectedness are associa…

Comparison of Self-Reported Substance Use with Outcomes of Urine Testing among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Africa Participating in HPTN 075

However, studies in high-income countries show that men who have sex with men (MSM) often underreport substance use when compared to objective biological testing. Such comparisons have not been conducted among MSM in sub-Saharan Africa. We compared self-reported and objectively measured substance use among MSM part…

Correlates of HIV Acquisition in a Cohort of Black Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States
BACKGROUND: Black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States (US) are affected by HIV at disproportionate rates compared to MSM of other race/ethnicities. Current HIV incidence estimates in this group are needed to appropriately target prevention efforts. METHODS: From July 2009 to October 2010, Black MSM reporting unprotected anal intercourse with a man in the past six months were enrolled and followed for one year in six US cities for…
