Sexual Behaviors and Psychosocial Health Among Men Who Have Sex with Men with and without Female Partners in Kenya
Globally, men who have sex with men (MSM) face significant sexual stigma and are at disproportionate risk of HIV and STIs. This cross-sectional study examined differences in HIV/STI-associated psychosocial characteristics and sexual behaviors among men who have sex with both men and women (MSMW) and men who have sex with men exclusively (MSME) in Kenya. MSM were categorized as either MSMW or MSME based on the reported sex of recent sexual partner…
Willingness of adolescent girls and young women to participate in future clinical trials of long-acting PrEP implants for HIV prevention, Kampala Uganda
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) continue to face a significant risk of HIV infection, particularly as numerous experimental prevention products are in development. This study assessed the willingness to participate (WTP) in future clinical trials of long-acting HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) implants among AGYW at high risk of HIV infection in Kampala, Uganda. From January to October 2019, we conducted a cross-sectional study among A…
Transgender women in Kenya experience greater stigma, depressive symptoms, alcohol and drug use and risky sexual practices than cis-gendered men who have sex with men
Across three metropolitan areas in Kenya, TGW were more likely to report depressive symptoms and increased sexual risk taking. We identified a need for research that better characterizes the range of gender identities. Our analysis affirms the need for programmatic gender-affirming interventions specific to transgender populations in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa
The Effect of the Shikamana Peer-and-Provider Intervention on Depressive Symptoms, Alcohol Use, and Other Drug Use Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Kenya
Validity and reliability of the Neilands sexual stigma scale among Kenyan gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men
Our findings suggest enacted and perceived sexual stigma are distinct yet closely related constructs among GBMSM in Kenya and are associated with poor mental health and substance use
An Empiric Risk Score to Guide PrEP Targeting Among MSM in Coastal Kenya
Men who have sex with men (MSM), who have heterogeneous HIV-acquisition risks are not specifically targeted in Kenyan pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) guidelines. We used data from an open cohort, which followed 753 initially HIV-negative MSM participants for more than 1378.5 person-years, to develop an empiric risk score for targeting PrEP delivery. Independent predictors of incident HIV-1 infection in this cohort were an age of 18-24 years, havi…
