Demographic and Sexual Behavior Comparisons of Indian and U.S. Internet Samples of Men who have Sex with Men
Data were collected via the Internet on sexual behaviors of Indian men who have sex with men (MSM; n = 171); these data were compared to online American MSM (n = 682). Among Indian MSM, 51% had never been tested for HIV, 100% believed themselves to be HIV-uninfected, and 22% (secondary Internet male partners) to 43% (primary male partners) reported not using condoms during last anal intercourse. While U.S. MSM were more likely to not use condoms …
Sampling hidden populations
This paper describes a flexible, multi-stage, nonprobability sampling process used in a study of persons recently diagnosed as HIV-positive (PRDH). From July 2007 to June 2008, we used venue and chain-referral sampling strategies to recruit PRDH in the US. We sought equal distributions (n = 20) of eligible PRDH from four self-identified subgroups: gay or bisexual men (GBM), heterosexual men (HM), heterosexual women (HW), and male-tofemale transge…
The Psychosocial Burden of HPV
Despite an increased awareness and 'normalization' of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) following the release of the HPV vaccine, the psychosocial impact of an HPV infection, the most common sexually transmissible infection (STI), must not be overshadowed. This study employed in-depth interviews ( N = 52) and quantitative surveys ( N = 154) to assess the knowledge, emotional impact and behavioral consequences of an HPV-related diagnosis in women who had…
Effects of an Internet-Based Intervention for HIV Prevention
Recruitment and retention of an online sample for an HIV prevention intervention targeting men who have sex with men
There is an increasing interest in developing interventions for HIV and STD prevention that can be delivered on the Internet. However, we know little about what it takes to identify, recruit and retain participants in interventions so that we can test their efficacy and effectiveness. Objectives for this investigation were to evaluate rates of recruitment and retention in an Internet-based randomized controlled trial (RCT) to increase sexually tr…
The Internet and HIV/STD prevention
As we continue into the third decade of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, we find risk for sexual transmission evolving with the advent of new technologies and the emergence of new social and sexual venues. T
The process of seeking sex partners online and implications for STD/HIV prevention
Research has shown that online sex-seeking among men who have sex with men (MSM) is related to elevated risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV infection; however, the process of seeking sex online is not well understood. It is important to understand the process of seeking sex partners in order to determine the best method for reaching MSM at high risk for infection. We report on baseline data from the Smart Sex Quest, an In…
Relationships of Stigma and Shame to Gonorrhea and HIV Screening
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationships between stigma and shame associated with seeking treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and undergoing testing for gonorrhea and HIV. Methods. Participants were 847 males and 1126 females (mean age: 24.9 years) in 7 cities. Two scales assessed STD-related stigma and STD-related shame. Results. Rates of stigma and shame were higher among participants without a gonorr…
Soliciting Sex on the Internet
BACKGROUND: Strategies to meet sex partners have been augmented by the Internet. This medium is an environment of potential risk for acquiring or transmitting sexually transmitted disease (STD). GOAL: To document how the Internet is used to find sex partners and what risks such activity poses for STD infection. STUDY DESIGN: Participant observations of 175 chat rooms targeting men who have sex with men (MSM), heterosexuals, and couples seeking se…

Self-Efficacy and Pain in Disability with Osteoarthritis of the Knee
This study examined the relationship between self-efficacy beliefs and pain during the performance of stair climbing and lifting/carrying tasks on speed of movement, ratings of task difficulty, and perceived task ability in a group of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Seventy-nine patients with knee OA completed the tasks in a controlled laboratory setting. Before completing each task, patients' self-efficacy was assessed; following …
