Someone to count on
Though functional social support has been shown to serve as a protective factor for HIV viral load suppression in other populations, scant research has examined this relationship among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States. We assessed characteristics of social support, effects of social support on HIV viral load, and moderation by social support of the relationship between psychosocial indicators of a synergistic epidemic (syndemi…
Stability of Bisexual Behavior and Extent of Viral Bridging Behavior Among Men Who Have Sex with Men and Women
Unsafe Sexual Behavior Among Gay/Bisexual Men in the Era of Combination Antiretroviral Therapy (cART)
Effects of syndemics on HIV viral load and medication adherence in the multicentre Aids cohort study
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to determine associations between intertwining epidemics (syndemics) and HIV medication adherence and viral load levels among HIV-positive MSM and to test whether adherence mediates the relationship between syndemics and viral load. DESIGN: We analysed participant data collected between 2003 and 2009 from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, a prospective HIV/AIDS cohort study in four U.S. cities. METHODS:…

Uptake and Predictors of Anal Cancer Screening in Men Who Have Sex With Men
Objectives. We investigated attitudes about and acceptance of anal Papanicolaou (Pap) screening among men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods. Free anal Pap screening (cytology) was offered to 1742 MSM in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, who reported history of, attitudes about, and experience with screening. We explored predictors of declining screening with multivariate logistic regression. Results. A history of anal Pap screening was uncomm…

Intimate partner violence among HIV-positive persons in an urban clinic
While the intersection of HIV/AIDS and intimate partner violence (IPV) has gained increased attention, little focus has been given to the relationship among minority men and men who have sex with men (MSM). This pilot study, conducted at an urban clinic, explores the IPV experiences of HIV-positive persons involved in both heterosexual and homosexual relationships. Fifty-six HIV-positive individuals were interviewed to assess for verbal, physical…
A 22-Year-Old Community Advisory Board
Conducting health research often requires a partnership between marginalized communities and researchers. Community organizers can broker this partnership in a way that not only produces important scientific discoveries but also brings needed resources to the communities. This article is a description of a community advisory board established in 1984 to advise researchers on a longitudinal study of the natural history of AIDS among gay men. The B…
The impact of gender-role nonconforming behavior, bullying, and social support on suicidality among gay male youth
Recruiting Minority Men Who Have Sex With Men for HIV Research
We describe the efforts of a 4-city campaign to recruit Black and Hispanic men who have sex with men into an established HIV epidemiological study. The campaign used community organizing principles and a social marketing model that focused on personnel, location, product, costs and benefits, and promotion. The campaign was developed at the community, group, and individual levels to both increase trust and reduce barriers. The proportion of Hispan…
Attitudes towards highly active antiretroviral therapy are associated with sexual risk taking among HIV-infected and uninfected homosexual men
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether attitudes towards highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) are associated with unprotected anal sex among sexually active homosexual men. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study nested within an ongoing prospective cohort study. SETTING: Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, from April through September 1999. PARTICIPANTS: Five-hundred and forty-seven homosexual men reporting anal sex (218 HIV-negative and 329 HIV-positive) dur…

Gay Male, Lesbian and Bisexual Health-Related Research Funded by the National Institutes of Health Between 1974 and 1992
Health-related problems among lesbians, bisexuals, and gay men require research before solutions to them can be identified. This paper describes NIH sponsored research listing homosexuality as a primary or secondary issue between 1974 and 1992. Homosexual projects unrelated to HIV and excluding capitol funding averaged only $532,000 per year compared to about $20 million per year since 1982 for HIV projects. Considering the range of health threat…
