Disentangling Between- and Within-Person Effects of HIV PrEP and Treatment Attitudes on Condom Use and Bacterial STIs Among Sexual Minority Men
Substance Use and Incidence of Psychosis Diagnoses Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men Compared with Males from the General Population
BACKGROUND: Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) report higher use of psychoactive substances, which may contribute to many adverse outcomes. METHOD: We examined the incidence of psychosis and associated substance use among GBM compared with males from the general male population. We analyzed data from 798 sexually active GBM from two cohort studies based in Vancouver, Canada, linking their survey data to administrative health…
Inequitable access to PrEP among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Canada
This paper examines demographic, structural, and syndemic variables to map facilitators and barriers to accessing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) in the three largest cities in Canada, Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. Focusing on factors in the later stages of the PrEP cascade, this study first performed a logistic regression analysis and reports adjusted odds ratios, then entered st…

Healthcare Provider Strategies and Approaches to Supporting People Living With HIV Who Are Experiencing HIV Treatment Disengagement in British Columbia, Canada
We conducted a strengths-based, qualitative study to elucidate the approaches and strategies utilized by healthcare providers (HCPs) to support HIV treatment engagement in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Healthcare providers (e.g., nurses, peer navigators, and pharmacists) across the province of BC were recruited through regional HIV programs and by word of mouth through purposive sampling strategies. An academic and community researcher co-conduc…
Attitudes of Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men (GBM) toward Their Use of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants and Relation to Reducing Use in Three Canadian Cities
BACKGROUND: We explored attitudes of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) toward their amphetamine-use and associations with reduced use over time. METHODS: We recruited sexually-active GBM aged 16+ years in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, Canada, from 02-2017 to 08-2019, with follow-up visits every 6-12 months until November 2020. Among participants who reported past-six-month (P6M) amphetamine-use at enrollment, we used lo…
Minority Stress, Psychological Distress, Sexual Compulsivity, and Avoidance-Based Motivations Associated with Methamphetamine Use Among Sexual Minority Men Living with HIV
Objective Sexual minority men (SMM) living with HIV report significantly greater methamphetamine use compared with heterosexual and HIV-negative peers. Greater use may be related to stressors (e.g., HIV-related stigma) faced by SMM living with HIV and subsequent psychological and behavioral sequelae. We tested an integrated theoretical model comprised of pathways between stigma, discrimination, childhood sexual abuse, psychological distress, sexu…
Different classes of crystal methamphetamine use are associated with psychological and sexually transmitted infection outcomes among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men
Retention in primary care among unstably housed residents of a low-income, inner-city neighborhood with a high prevalence of substance use and related disorders
We found that a primary healthcare model of care was successful in retaining over two-thirds of clients in primary healthcare after more than 18 months of follow-up. Additional supports for those diagnosed with alcohol use disorder are needed to retain them in care
Ethno-racial variations in mental health symptoms among sexually-active gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Vancouver, Canada
Asian and Latino gbMSM reported decreased mental health symptoms compared to white participants. Asian and Latino gbMSM in Vancouver appear to manage multiple minority stressors without adversely affecting their mental health
HIV Treatment Optimism Moderates the Relationship between Sexual Risk Behavior and HIV Risk Perception among Urban HIV-negative Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men who have Sex With Men
The need for an expanded, evidence-based public health response to the overdose crisis and the toxic drug supply in Canada
Treatment interruptions and community connectedness among gbMSM living with HIV in Metro Vancouver, Canada
public health concern that demonstrate a lack of engagement in care and is detrimental to the health of people living with HIV. Community connectedness have demonstrated a protective effect for psychosocial health but are not well understood for HIV treatment outcomes. We explored associations between community connectedness and treatment interruptions among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) living with HIV in Vancouver, B…
Unpacking racism during Covid-19
Racism remains a pernicious threat to the well-being of GBQM of colour. CRT highlights the importance of assessing how sexualized and gendered discourses about race shape the experiences of GBQM of colour navigating multiple epidemics like COVID-19 and HIV. These pervasive discourses unevenly affect racial and sexual minorities across multiple epidemics, and negatively impact health outcomes for these populations
It’s all about connection
Social support may be an important protective factor in ensuring HIV treatment continuity among PLWH. Future research should examine effective means to build social support among communities that have potential to promote increased treatment engagement
Examining the secondary impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on syndemic production and PrEP use among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM) in Vancouver, Canada
There were increasing PrEP interruptions since March 2020. However, those most at risk for HIV were less likely to have interruptions. Additional mental health services and targeted follow-up for PrEP continuation may help to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on GBM
Depressive Symptoms, the Impact on ART Continuation, and Factors Associated with Symptom Improvement Among a Cohort of People Living with HIV in British Columbia, Canada
Examining Associations Between Resilience and PrEP Use Among HIV-negative GBM in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver
Patterns of Event-Level Concurrent Substance Use During Sex Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Metro Vancouver
I did not have sex outside of our bubble’
In efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, jurisdictions across the globe, including Canada, enacted containment measures that affected intimacy and sexual relations. This article examines how public health measures during COVID-19 impacted the sexual practices of sexual minority men- gay, bisexual, queer and other men who have sex with men-and how they adopted and modified guidelines to prevent the transmission of COVID-19, HIV and other sexu…
The relevance of communal altruism for sexual minority men in contemporary contexts
There are many reasons why individuals engage in prosocial behavior; communal sexual altruism is based on the notion that some practice safer sex in the interest of promoting the well‐being of their community/in‐group. Given that definitions of what constitutes “safer sex” have changed with advances in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention, we investigated the importance of communal sexual altruism (herein “altruism”) among urban gay, bis…
Exploring Primary Healthcare Experiences and Interest in Mobile Technology Engagement Amongst an Urban Population Experiencing Barriers to Care
Mobile phone-based engagement approaches provide potential platforms for improving access to primary healthcare (PHC) services for underserved populations. We held two focus groups (February 2020) with residents ( n = 25) from a low-income urban neighbourhood (downtown Vancouver, Canada), to assess recent healthcare experiences and elicit interest in mobile phone-based healthcare engagement for underserved residents. Note-based analysis, guided b…
Links Between Childhood Abuse, Insidious Trauma, and Methamphetamine Use Across the Lifespan Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men
Developmental and lifespan examinations of methamphetamine use among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) remain limited. We used a feminist trauma framework to examine potential links between childhood trauma, trauma-related stressors, and methamphetamine use among GBM. From June 2018 to October 2018, semi-structured interviews (N = 33) were conducted with GBM across British Columbia. Interviews focused on sexual experiences,…
Understanding the Service Needs and Preferences of Men Who Have Sex with Men Who Use Crystal Methamphetamine in British Columbia, Canada
You’re Gay, It’s Just What Happens”
Our grounded theory analysis derives from in-depth interviews conducted with 24 gay, bisexual, queer, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) living in Toronto, Canada, to understand their experiences of sexual coercion. Participants drew on discourse from the #MeToo movement to reconsider the ethics of past sexual experiences. The idea that gay or queer sex is inherently risky and unique from heterosexual relations made negotiating sexual safe…

Minority stressors and connectedness among urban gay, bisexual, and queer men
Gay Men's Understanding and Education of New HIV Prevention Technologies in Vancouver, Canada
Effective rollout of HIV treatment-based prevention such as pre-exposure prophylaxis and treatment as prevention has been hampered by poor education, limited acceptability, and stigma among gay men. We undertook a thematic analysis regarding the education sources and acceptability of these New Prevention Technologies (NPTs) using 15 semistructured interviews with gay men in Vancouver, Canada, who were early adopters of NPTs. NPT education was der…

Managing population health risks as we learn to live with Covid-19
Hosts as Gatekeepers for North American Gay and Bisexual Men's Private Group Sex Parties
Gay and bisexual men's (GBM) group sex parties are considered HIV risk environments due to their association with concurrent sexual partners, condomless anal sex, and polysubstance use. The possibility of group sex party hosts acting as gatekeepers to minimize risks has been suggested, but remains understudied. We analyzed qualitative data from 20 in-depth interviews with North American GBM who recently attended private group sex parties to deter…
Prevalence of HIV and sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections, and related preventive and risk behaviours, among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in Montreal, Toronto and Vanc…
The three largest cities of Canada differed in HIV prevalence, STBBI testing and PrEP use among GBM. Our findings also suggest the need for scale-up of both PrEP and STI testing among GBM in Canada
Loneliness and self-rated physical health among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in Vancouver, Canada
Background Due to stigma and discrimination, gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) potentially carry a heightened burden of loneliness. This analysis investigates loneliness among gbMSM and its relationship with self-rated physical health, along with the mediating effect of depression. Methods Participants were recruited using respondent-driven sampling into the Momentum Health Study (February 2012–February 2015) with follow-u…
Longitudinal Event-Level Analysis of Gay and Bisexual Men’s Anal Sex Versatility
Gay and bisexual Men Who Have Sex with Men (GBM) are sexually unique in that they can practice penile-anal sex versatility, i.e. engage in insertive and receptive anal sex. Individual-level versatility is extensively researched both as a sexual behavior linked to HIV/STI transmission, and as a GBM identity that can change over time. However, there is a dearth of research on event-level versatility (ELV), defined as taking the receptive and insert…

Sexual Orientation Measurement, Bisexuality, and Mental Health in a Sample of Men Who Have Sex with Men in Vancouver, Canada
This cross-sectional study used a validated index (i.e., Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) to measure anxiety and depression (caseness score: ≥8) among men who have sex with men recruited via respondent-driven sampling in Vancouver, Canada (n=774), and investigated whether differences in mental health outcomes varied by sexual orientation measure (i.e., identity, attraction, behavior). Of the sample, 15.5% identified as bisexual, 33.4% repor…
Estimating the Size of the MSM Population in Metro Vancouver, Canada, Using Multiple Methods and Diverse Data Sources
Discerning Pedagogical Tools from Impediments
One of the texts that Dr. Schacht purports to review is (sic) and Becker's Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, 2nd ed. I'm very familiar with this text since I've been using it in my own statistics classroom since it came out last January. The senior author of this text, as is clearly printed on its front cover and elsewhere, is James Jaccard (Jaccard and Becker 1990). Please note the correct spelling. This is not an isolated typographical er…

Gendered HIV risk patterns among polygynous sero-discordant couples in Uganda
Stable serodiscordant relationships and sexual concurrency are pathways that contribute to the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. However whether polygyny imparts the same risks as informal concurrent relationships remains an open research question. Using data collected at enrollment from a cohort study of sero-discordant couples, this analysis investigates how polygynous relationships differ from those involving only a single female spouse and …
Home is where the Haart is
Understanding the neighbourhood perceptions of individuals living with HIV in urban and non-urban areas may help identify potential barriers to uptake and effectiveness of therapy. We evaluate how neighbourhood perceptions are influenced by socio-economic factors, such as food security and stable housing and other explanatory variables, among individuals receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in British Columbia. Neighbourhood per…
Determinants of physical activity in deprived communities in London
Background The benefits of regular physical activity are well known. Few adults in the UK meet the recommended levels. There is growing evidence suggesting that neighbourhood characteristics interact with individual characteristics to determine physical activity levels. Objective Examine relationships between neighbourhood-level and individual-level characteristics and physical activity. Setting 40 of the most deprived neighbourhoods in London (c…
Determinants of mental health and wellbeing in low income communities
Background Poor mental health is more common in deprived communities in the UK. Individual characteristics (employment, financial security, significant life events, social networks) are key proximal determinants of mental health. It is important to examine the upstream effects of the neighbourhood environment on mental health because it may be easier to modify in the context of public health interventions that aim to reduce health inequalities. O…
OP06 Well London
Background Few public health interventions combining modification of the social and built environment with individual-level health promotion have been robustly evaluated in the UK. Well London is an assets-based community development programme designed to improve physical activity, healthy eating and mental wellbeing in highly deprived inner-city communities. The programme, delivered between 2007 and 2011, comprised a mix of projects delivering t…

Associations between sexual partner number and HIV risk behaviors
Previous research indicates that gay and bisexual men (GBM) have significantly more sexual partners than same-aged heterosexual men and women. As a result, some HIV intervention programs have focused on partner reduction. However, new research findings question the relevance of sexual partner number as a sexual risk measure for GBM given Treatment as Prevention (TasP) programs and new seroadaptive strategies which have led to lower GBM community …

HIV Testing Among a Representative Community Sample of Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Vancouver, Canada
A latent class analysis of substance use and culture among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
Assessments of gay and bisexual men's substance use often obscures salient sociocultural and identity-related experiences related to how they use drugs. Latent class analysis was used to examine how patterns of substance use represent the social, economic and identity-related experiences of this population. Participants were sexually active gay and bisexual men (including other men who have sex with men), aged ≥ 16 years, living in Metro Vancouve…

Factors associated with delayed and late ART initiation among people living with HIV in BC
We examined correlates of late and delayed initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in British Columbia, Canada. From December 2013 to December 2015 we recruited treatment-naïve people living with HIV who initiated ART within the previous year. 'Late initiation' was defined as CD4 cell count ≤500 cells/μL at ART initiation and 'delayed initiation' as ≥1 year between HIV diagnosis and initiation. Multivariable logistic regression assessed indepe…
“Condoms are … like public transit. It’s something you want everyone else to take”
These findings indicate that notions of "safety" and "risk" based on consistent condom use are eroding as other modes of prevention gain visibility. Community-based and public health interventions will need to shift prevention messaging from advocacy for universal condom use toward combination prevention in order to meet gay men's current prevention needs. Interventions should advance gay men's communication and self-advocacy skills in order to o…
