  • Recreational drug use, polydrug use, and sexual behaviour in HIV-diagnosed men who have sex with men in the UK

    Open AccessMarina Daskalopoulou, Alec Rodger et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet HIV2014

    BACKGROUND: Recreational drug use in men who have sex with men (MSM) is of concern because it might be linked to the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Evidence about drug use in HIV-diagnosed MSM in the UK is limited by representativeness of the study populations. We describe patterns of drug use and associations with sexual behaviours in HIV-diagnosed MSM in the UK. METHODS: We used data from the cross-sectional ASTR…

  • Communication About Microbicide Use Between Couples in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Open Accessthe MDP team, Mitzy Gafos et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2014

    The ways in which couples communicate about microbicides is likely to influence microbicide uptake and usage. We collected quantitative data about whether women in a microbicide trial discussed microbicides with their partners and explored communication about microbicides during 79 in-depth-interviews with women enrolled in the trial and 17 focus-group discussions with community members. After 4 weeks in the trial, 60 % of 1092 women had discusse…

  • The Implications of Post-coital Intravaginal Cleansing for the Introduction of Vaginal Microbicides in South Africa

    Open Accessthe MDP team, Mitzy Gafos et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2013

    Post-coital intravaginal cleansing (IVC) could counteract the protective effect of a vaginal microbicide. IVC less than 1 h after sex is discouraged in most microbicide trials. During a microbicide trial in KwaZulu-Natal, we collected quantitative data on post-coital IVC. We discussed IVC during in-depth-interviews (IDIs) and focus-group discussions (FGDs) with women enrolled in the trial, and during FGDs with community members. Nearly one-third …

  • The association between ethnicity and late presentation to antenatal care among pregnant women living with HIV in the UK and Ireland

    Shema Tariq, Jonathan Elford et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    UK and Ireland guidelines state that all pregnant women should have their first antenatal care appointment by 13 weeks of pregnancy (antenatal booking). We present the results of an analysis looking at the association between maternal ethnicity and late antenatal booking in HIV-positive women in the UK and Ireland. We analysed data from the National Study of HIV in Pregnancy and Childhood (NSHPC). We included all pregnancies in women who were dia…

  • The impact of African ethnicity and migration on pregnancy in women living with HIV in the UK

    Open AccessShema Tariq, Alex Pillen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    We have developed an innovative methodology utilising epidemiological and anthropological methods to explore pregnancy in African women living with HIV in the UK. The data collected in this mixed methods study are currently being analysed and will facilitate the development of appropriate services for this group

  • Disclosure, discrimination and desire

    Eamonn Mckeown, Simon Nelson et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2010

    Using findings from a qualitative investigation based on in-depth email interviews with 47 Black and South Asian gay men in Britain, this paper explores the cross-cutting identities and discourses in relation to being both gay and from an ethnic minority background. Taking an intersectional approach, detailed accounts of identity negotiation, cultural pressures, experiences of discrimination and exclusion and the relationship between minority eth…

  • Intravaginal insertion in KwaZulu-Natal

    Mitzy Gafos, Misiwe Mzimela et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2010

    Intravaginal insertion is often associated with the concept of 'dry' sex. All HIV-prevention microbicides tested to date have been vaginally applied lubricant-based gels. In this paper, we examine whether the use of intravaginal insertions could be in conflict with the introduction of vaginal microbicide gels. The Africa Centre site was part of the Microbicides Development Programme evaluating PRO2000/5 microbicide gel. We conducted in-depth-inte…

  • A Comparison of Item Non-Response in Web and Pen-and-Paper Surveys of Sexual Behaviour

    Open AccessAlison Evans, Alison R Evans et al.ARTICLEMethodological Innovations Online2008Citada por: 1Referências: 15

    Excluding respondents who fail to answer a question will reduce effective sample size. This weakens statistical power and creates problems for the creation of summative indicators, the analysis of multi-item scales and the application of multivariate techniques (Dickinson & Kirzner 1985). When item nonresponders differ systematically from responders on the variables of interest, item non-response will also lead to biased population estimates (Kup…

  • Like a prayer

    Open AccessDamien Ridge, Ian Williams et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2008Citada por: 10Referências: 17

    Over 40,000 people are now living with diagnosed HIV in the UK. There is, however, uncertainty about how people with HIV use religion or spirituality to cope with their infection. Adopting a modified grounded theory approach, we analysed individual and group interviews with the people most affected by HIV in the UK: black African heterosexual men and women and gay men (mostly white). For the majority of black African heterosexual men and women in…

  • Can current national surveillance systems in England and Wales monitor sexual transmission of hepatitis C among HIV-infected men who have sex with men

    Open AccessSarah Dougan, M Adekoyejo Balogun et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    Matching routine laboratory reports of hepatitis C diagnoses with HIV diagnoses only identified 31 HIV infected MSM with sexually-transmitted hepatitis C infection. Clinical studies suggest that this is an underestimate. On the other hand, matching sentinel surveillance reports with HIV diagnoses revealed that in E&W in 2003 nearly 5% of HIV-diagnosed MSM tested hepatitis C positive where the only risk was sex with another man. Reports of sexuall…

  • Changing patterns of sexual behaviour in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy

    Jonathan ElfordARTICLECurrent Opinion in Infectious…2006

    PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To describe changing patterns of sexual behaviour in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy among gay/bisexual men in Europe, Canada, USA and Australia. RECENT FINDINGS: While there has been a substantial increase in high-risk sexual behaviour among gay men since 1996, this now appears to be levelling off in some cities. Overall the empirical evidence does not support the suggestion that taking highly active antiretrov…

  • HIV in East London

    Open AccessJonathan Elford, Jane Anderson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2006

    A clinic-based study has allowed us to survey nearly 1700 patients with HIV from diverse backgrounds receiving treatment and care in East London. The data collected in this study will provide valuable information for the planning and delivery of appropriate clinical care, social support and health promotion for people living with HIV not only in East London but in other parts of the capital as well as elsewhere in the UK

  • Sex and the Internet

    Mark D M Davis, Mark Davis et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2006

    Access to the Internet has increased dramatically over the past decade as has its use for meeting sexual partners (e-dating), particularly among gay men. Between June 2002 and January 2004, 128 gay/bisexual men living in London were interviewed one-to-one about their experience of e-dating, sexual risk and HIV prevention. The men were recruited both online (through the Internet) and offline (in clinics and the community); 32 men were HIV-positive…

  • E-dating, identity and HIV prevention

    Open AccessMark D M Davis, Mark Davis et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2006Citada por: 14Referências: 29

    This paper addresses how London gay men use the internet to meet sexual partners, or for e-dating. Based on qualitative interviews conducted face-to-face or via the internet, this research develops an account of how information technologies mediate the negotiation of identity and risk in connection with sexual practice. E-dating itself is a bricolage, or heterogeneous DIY practice of internet-based-communication (IBC). A central aspect of IBC is …

  • Gay men who look for sex on the Internet

    Graham Bolding, Mark D M Davis et al.ARTICLEAIDS2005

    OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the excess risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) seen among gay men who look for sex through the Internet occurs with men they meet online (through the Internet) rather than offline (in bars, clubs, etc). METHODS: In 2002-2003, 4225 London gay men were surveyed in an HIV treatment clinic, HIV testing clinic, gyms and on UK Internet sites (gaydar and gay.com). All men completed a self-administered ques…

  • Recruiting London gay men into an HIV vaccine trial

    Lorraine Sherr, Graham Bolding et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    This paper describes a study among HIV-negative gay men in London to examine willingness to volunteer for an HIV vaccine trial. HIV-negative gay men (n=506) were surveyed in central London gyms in February-March 2002. Information was collected on willingness to volunteer for an HIV vaccine trial, attitudes toward HIV vaccines and sexual risk behaviour. Men reporting unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) in the previous three months with a man of unk…
