Knowledge distribution and power relations in HIV-related education and prevention for gay men
This paper seeks to make a theoretical and analytic intervention into the field of HIV-related education and prevention by applying the pedagogy framework of Basil Bernstein to a series of pedagogical devices developed and used in community-based programmes targeting gay men in Australia. The paper begins by outlining why it is such an intervention might be necessary at this stage in the Australian response to the epidemic, suggesting that extant…
Responsibility, risk and negotiation in the discourse of gay men's group sex
Responsibility for the practise of (un)safe sex, for taking or not taking risks in relation to HIV transmission and for the negotiation of (safe) sex have been concerns in HIV-prevention research for a long time. This paper presents the findings of a discourse analysis of interview texts collected as part of the Three or More Study. We examine what, in the discourse examined, constrains and enables 'response-ability' - the capacity to respond to …
The discourse of gay men's group sex
Group sex has consistently been identified as one of a group of risk behaviours among gay men associated with HIV seroconversion. This paper presents a detailed description of how gender, and specifically masculinity, operates as an aspect of the discourse of gay men's group sex. The findings presented in this paper are one part of a multi-aspected discourse analysis through which we are aiming to develop an account of the discourse of gay men's …
Gay Men Who Engage in Group Sex are at Increased Risk of HIV Infection and Onward Transmission
Taking It to the Hill
Time, relations and learning in gay men's experiences of adventurous sex
In 1998 social researchers reported that membership of a "culture of sexual adventurism and experimentation" was a predictor of HIV sero-conversion among homosexually active men living in Sydney. In this paper, we explore how these researchers have understood sexual adventurism as referring to a set of sexual practices, to a subcultural network, and to a particular sexual context. We then present an analysis of the way participants in our study r…
Quiet Please! There's a Lady on the Stage--Boys, Gender and Sexuality Non-conformity and Class
In this paper we do two things. Initially, we explore the experience of gender and sexuality non-conformity for boys in school. Here, the designation sissy boy is interpreted through shame dynamics produced in part by the linguistic violence of designation. From this we consider the development of what we call epistemophilic resolutions--the falling in love with knowing that realigns the sissy boy within the school's discursive terrain. As a tent…
Gay men's casual sex encounters
Some gay men disclose their HIV serostatus to enable them to decide to discard condoms in at least some casual encounters. In this paper we consider under what circumstances this occurs. We draw on data from the Sydney Men and Sexual Health cohort study, including both structured and semi-structured interviews. We find that casual sexual encounters among gay men are complex events, involving a broad range of types of partner and circumstance. A s…

HIV/Aids and constructs of gay community
This paper reports on the methodology of a comparative study of three gay communities in Australia as they struggle with HIV/AIDS. The study focused on the pedagogy and practice of HIV/AIDS education for disease prevention and for health maintenance for people living with HIV/AIDS, through the investigation of three problematics: (1) constructs of 'community'; (2) the centrality of gay community-based health educators; and (3) the relations of ga…
