From policy to practice
Transgender women (TGW) in India face one of the highest HIV prevalence rates among key populations in India, yet data on their engagement in the HIV care cascade is limited. This study investigates barriers and supportive factors for adhering to antiretroviral therapy (ART), which is vital for achieving viral suppression, reducing transmission risk to nearly zero (i.e. undetectable = utransmittable; U = U), and enhancing the quality of life for …
A Review of the 28 Years Journey of the Journal of Human Values
Purpose: Over the past 28 years, studies relating to human values in the Journal of Human Values (JHV) have grown significantly both in numbers and impact. This study aims to map the major intellectual structure of research published in the JHV and suggest a way forward for prospective researchers to make meaningful contributions to the study of human values. Design/Methodology/Approach: A bibliometric analysis of 431 articles and reviews publish…
Transgender Women in India
The prevalence of HIV among transgender women (TGW) in India is disproportionately high, estimated at 4% to 8% in comparison with the national average of 0.2%. Despite free antiretroviral therapy (ART) provided by the government, TGW encounter multilevel barriers—including stigma, poverty, and lack of gender-affirming care—that hinder HIV care access and retention. Existing behavioral frameworks fail to address the compounded effects of systemic …
A randomized clinical efficacy trial of a psychosocial intervention to strengthen self-acceptance and reduce HIV risk for MSM in India
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02556294 , registered 22 September 2015
Social support relationships for sexual minority women in Mumbai, India
Little research exists on women who do not identify as heterosexual in India. Social support for sexual minority women may protect against the effects of discrimination. An examination of significant social relationships may point to both strengths and weaknesses in this support. We aimed to understand relationship prioritisation and communication patterns associated with the social support of sexual minority women in Mumbai. In partnership with …
Sexual Relationships, Behaviors, and Experiences Among Bisexual Men in Mumbai, India
This exploratory study aimed to assess a range of sexual behaviors, relationships and related factors among a sample of bisexual men in Mumbai, India. Data collection occurred in two separate phases: 1. focus group discussions were facilitated with local community members in order to finalize an interviewer-administered questionnaire, and 2. structured interviews were conducted with a sample of 50 bisexual men using this questionnaire. Participan…
Perceived health concerns among sexual minority women in Mumbai, India
The experiences of sexual minority women (i.e., women who do not identify as 'heterosexual') in India have largely been absent in scientific literature. In partnership with India's oldest and largest sexual and gender minority-advocacy organisation, the Humsafar Trust, our study used community-based participatory research principles to explore the lived experiences and health concerns of sexual minority women in Mumbai. Study methodologies includ…
The other side of the bridge
Behaviourally bisexual men have been identified as a 'bridge' population of HIV transmission to heterosexual women in India. Little is known about the sexual relationships that these men have with their female sex partners. The primary objective of this study was to explore the sexual practices and relationship dynamics between married and unmarried behaviourally bisexual men and their female sex partners in Mumbai, India. In 2009, semi-structure…
Psychosocial risk factors for HIV sexual risk among Indian men who have sex with men
Indian men who have sex with men (MSM) are at increased risk for HIV compared to the general Indian population. Psychosocial factors may be uniquely associated with HIV risk among Indian MSM and may moderate the beneficial impact of standard HIV prevention approaches. Psychiatric diagnostic interviews and psychosocial and sexual risk assessments were conducted among 150 MSM in Mumbai, India. Logistic regression was employed to examine the associa…
