State minimum wage laws and state-level rates of new HIV diagnoses among Black, Latine, and White US women and men, 2010–2019
BACKGROUND: In the USA, HIV remains a pressing public health challenge (~37 400 new diagnoses in 2018) and pronounced racialised inequities persist. In 2018, Black and Latine people represented 43% and 26% of new diagnoses but only 13% and 18% of the population, respectively. Antiracist laws may help mitigate these inequities, yet research investigating specific laws is lacking. This study aimed to examine associations between state minimum wage …
Transgender and other gender minoritised assigned female at birth young adults’ perceptions of and experiences with human papillomavirus vaccination
Transgender and other gender minoritised individuals have lower human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine completion rates than the general population, and little is known about how gender minoritised young adults perceive and experience HPV vaccination. The aim of this study was to characterise perceptions of, experiences with, and recommendations to facilitate access to HPV vaccination among transgender and other gender minoritised assigned female at …
Structural Racism-Related State Laws and Healthcare Access Among Black, Latine, and White U.S. Adults
Weight-Based Health Care Discrimination and Cervical Cancer Screening Among Black Sexual and Gender Minoritized Assigned Female at Birth Adults in the United States
Introduction: Black sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) people assigned female at birth (AFAB) face notable barriers to cervical cancer screening, including racism, heterosexism, and cisgenderism. Although weight-based discrimination is prevalent in the United States and may compound other forms of discrimination, no study has examined the association between weight-based discrimination in health care settings and Pap test use among Black SGM AFA…
Experiences of gender-affirming practices in healthcare settings and HIV testing among transgender and nonbinary young adults in the United States
Transgender and nonbinary young adults in the United States (U.S.) experience disproportionately high rates of HIV and face unique barriers to accessing HIV testing, a key component of HIV prevention. Gender-affirming practices in healthcare settings may improve care access and reduce care avoidance among transgender and nonbinary people. To our knowledge, no study has examined the association between gender-affirming practices in healthcare sett…
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 …
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 …
Long-Acting Injectable Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Perceptions and Preferences Among Transgender and Nonbinary Young Adults in the United States
Long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention (LAI-PrEP) was approved for use in the United States in 2021, yet little is known about perceptions of LAI-PrEP among transgender and nonbinary young adults, a group that faces substantial barriers to HIV prevention. We investigated US transgender and nonbinary young adults' perceptions of and attitudes toward LAI-PrEP and how perceived advantages and disadvantages of LAI-PrEP rel…
Controlling partner dynamics in transgender/nonbinary young adults’ romantic relationships
Controlling partner dynamics-when a person's sexual or romantic partner exerts disproportionate control over their behavior and/or joint decisions-can adversely impact sexual and mental health. For transgender and/or nonbinary (TNB) young adults, cissexism-the system of power relations that marginalizes TNB people in favor of cisgender people-may contribute to controlling partner dynamics. However, mechanisms linking cissexism to controlling part…
Promoting equitable sexual health communication among patients with minoritized racial/ethnic, sexual orientation, and gender identities
Methods for structural sexism and population health research
Accumulating evidence links structural sexism to gendered health inequities, yet methodological challenges have precluded comprehensive examinations into life-course and/or intersectional effects. To help address this gap, we introduce an analytic framework that uses sequential conditional mean models (SCMMs) to jointly account for longitudinal exposure trajectories and moderation by multiple dimensions of social identity/position, which we then …
Socioeconomic Inequities in Pap Test Use Among Black Women in the United States
Internalized homophobia and HIV testing among Korean gay and bisexual men
Limited research has been conducted on factors contributing to HIV testing among sexual minority populations in South Korea (hereafter, Korea), where stigma against homosexuality and HIV/AIDS is pervasive. We used a nationwide cross-sectional survey of 907 Korean cisgender gay and bisexual (GB) men who were HIV-negative or HIV-unknown in 2016. Regarding internalized homophobia (IHP), participants were categorized into tertiles (low, moderate, and…

Differences in Health Insurance and Usual Source of Care Among Racial/Ethnic and Sexual Orientation Subgroups of U.S. Women and Men
Minor Consent Laws for Sexually Transmitted Infection and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Services in the United States
Objectives. To assess changes in minor consent laws for sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV testing, treatment, and prevention services in all 50 US states and the District of Columbia from 1900 to 2021. Methods. We coded laws into minor consent for (1) health care generally; (2) STI testing, treatment, and prevention; (3) HIV testing, treatment, and prevention; and (4) pre- or postexposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention. We also coded c…
Transgender/nonbinary young adults’ exposure to cissexism-related social stressors
Tradeoffs, Constraints, and Strategies in Transgender and Nonbinary Young Adults' Romantic Relationships
Prior research suggests that prejudice and structural disadvantage (e.g., cissexism, racism, sexism) put transgender and nonbinary (TNB) young adults at risk for adverse romantic relationship experiences, yet supportive romantic relationships may help TNB young adults cope with these stressors and promote their psychological wellbeing. Accordingly, there is a need to better understand how TNB young adults navigate romantic relationships in the co…

Sexual healthcare experiences of nonbinary young adults
Nonbinary young adults (who do not identify with a binary male or female identity and may hold diverse gender identities, including genderqueer, nonbinary and agender) may have unique and unmet sexual healthcare needs compared to binary transgender and cisgender people. However, there is limited knowledge about the sexual health and healthcare needs of nonbinary young adults. We conducted 19 semi-structured, in-depth interviews between August and…
Cumulative exposure to state-level structural sexism and risk of disordered eating
Making a Way Out of No Way
Research focusing on the specific and unique sexual and reproductive health care experiences of transmasculine young adults of color are extremely scarce. We conducted five focus group discussions with 19 Black, Latinx, Asian, Native, and other transmasculine individuals of color aged 18-25 years in the greater Boston area. Using thematic analysis, we found that transmasculine young adults of color experienced cissexism, heterosexism, and racism …
Future Directions for Incorporating Intersectionality Into Quantitative Population Health Research
Intersectionality, an analytical approach rooted in Black feminist theory and praxis, has become more widely used in population health research. The majority of quantitative population health studies have used intersectionality as a theoretical framework to investigate how multiple social identities rather than social inequalities simultaneously influence health inequities. Although a few researchers have developed methods to assess how multiple …
Cumulative exposure to state-level structural sexism and risk of disordered eating
At the intersection of sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and cervical cancer screening
Frequent police stops, parental incarceration and mental health
BACKGROUND: National monitoring of police-public contact does not extend below age 16 and few studies have examined associations with adolescent mental health. METHODS: We describe the distribution of police stops in a nationally representative cross-sectional sample of adolescents ages 12 to 18 years in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Child Development Supplement 2002 and 2007 (n=2557). We used survey-weighted race/ethnicity-stratified and ge…
County-level jail incarceration and preterm birth among non-Hispanic Black and white U.S. women, 1999–2015
Sexual Orientation Disparities in Papanicolaou Test Use Among US Women
We investigated sexual orientation disparities in Papanicolaou screening among US women aged 21 to 44 years (n = 9581) in the 2006 to 2010 National Survey of Family Growth. The odds ratios for lesbian versus heterosexual women and women with no versus only male sexual partners were 0.40 and 0.32, respectively, and were attenuated after adjustment for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care indicators. Administering Papanicolaou tests through me…

Transgender/nonbinary young adults’ exposure to cissexism-related social stressors
Racial/ethnic disparities in human papillomavirus vaccination initiation and completion among U.S. women in the post-Affordable Care Act era
Objective: To ascertain the magnitude and potential mechanisms of racial/ethnic disparities in initiating and completing the 3-dose human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among U.S. women in the post-Affordable Care Act era. Design: Using 2015 National Health Interview Survey data, we used logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between race/ethnicity and HPV vaccination initiation and co…
It Can Promote an Existential Crisis
Transmasculine (i.e., female-to-male transgender) individuals have lower rates of cervical cancer screening than nontransgender women and often report negative experiences with the Pap test. Deciding to undergo screening and the test experience itself are characterized by the following processes: negotiating identity as the patient, provider, and insurance company wrestle with the degree of (in)congruence between a patient's masculine gender iden…

Perceptions of cervical cancer risk and screening among transmasculine individuals
Transmasculine people (individuals assigned a female sex at birth who identify as male or masculine) are at risk of cervical cancer. Despite low rates of Pap test use in this population, research examining the determinants of cervical cancer screening among transmasculine individuals is scarce. We conducted in-depth interviews and focus groups with 49 participants (32 transmasculine patients and 17 healthcare providers) in order to examine transm…
Structural racism and health inequities in the USA
Health and healthcare disparities among U.S. women and men at the intersection of sexual orientation and race/ethnicity
Sexual minorities had a higher prevalence of some poor health behaviors, health outcomes, and healthcare access issues, and these disparities differed across racial groups. Further research is needed to investigate potential pathways, such as discrimination, in the social environment that may help explain the relationship between sexual orientation and health

Topics for Inclusive Parent-Child Sex Communication by Gay, Bisexual, Queer Youth
The purposes of this study were to identify the sexuality-related topics parents and gay, bisexual, or queer (GBQ) adolescent males discussed at home and to describe the topics GBQ adolescent males recommend for parents to discuss with future cohorts of GBQ youth. Minimal research on parent-child sex communication with sexual minority adolescents prevents the development of interventions that would benefit adolescent males with same-sex attractio…
Enacting power and constructing gender in cervical cancer screening encounters between transmasculine patients and health care providers
Transmasculine people are at risk of cervical cancer but have lower rates of cervical cancer screening than cisgender women. Disaffirmation of the patient's gender and unequal power dynamics between patient and provider during screening contribute to patient unwillingness to be screened. The mechanisms by which the balance of power may be shifted between patient and provider, and by which gender is constructed during the Pap test, are not well un…
