Impact of Repeated Negative Affective Social Media Content on Acceptability of the IUD
Access to safe and effective contraception is important for the advancement of public health and feminist goals. Unfortunately, social media harbors negative content about contraceptives, specifically the intrauterine device (IUD). Viewing this content repeatedly may deter people from considering IUDs. Value-centered decision-making about contraceptives requires that people are not unduly pressured or biased by external sources. Social media may …
Assessing an Implementation Science Strategy to Improve PrEP Primary Care Serving Black and Latino Communities
We examined the impact of a PrEP navigation implementation strategy on care engagement at nine New York City Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in an Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) jurisdiction. Between March 2021 and April 2022, FQHCs implemented the strategy, which consisted of five distinct navigation activities conducted by the Navigator (e.g., PrEP refill). We extracted electronic medical record (EMR) data on navigation services attem…
“If condoms really aren't an option, then I would maybe push more for considering PrEP”
Cisgender women account for approximately 20% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., yet of those indicated for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake is only 10%. Cisgender women are amenable to PrEP; however, clinicians encounter individual and interpersonal barriers to prescriptions. This research examines clinicians' decision-making processes regarding PrEP provision for cisgender women. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with cl…
Health Care Providers’ Reported Barriers to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Initiation Among Cisgender Women
8) had ever prescribed it. When asked open-ended questions about their attitudes and experiences, all providers identified barriers to prescribing PrEP to cisgender women. These barriers fell into four categories: (1) knowledge, messaging, and (mis)information; (2) stigma and/or fear of stigma; (3) characteristics of the medication itself; and (4) accessibility of health care services. We discuss the implications for developing interventions to a…
Undetectable = Untransmittable (U = U) Awareness and HIV Treatment Optimism Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Mumbai, India
Little is known about Undetectable=Untransmittable (U = U) awareness among MSM in India. We analyzed baseline survey data from MSM (N = 1004) in an mHealth HIV testing trial in Mumbai and Thane, India. We assessed factors associated with U = U awareness and agreement (HIV treatment optimism) using multivariable Poisson regression. U = U awareness (29%) was associated with English survey completion, searching for sexual health information online, …
Experiences, Attitudes and Preferences of Postpartum Cisgender Women for HIV Prevention and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Education during Routine Postpartum Care
The postpartum period presents an opportunity to deliver comprehensive sexual health education. Understanding preferences of postpartum cisgender women (CGW) towards integration of HIV prevention education into postpartum care is necessary to support acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. Postpartum CGW were recruited during their postpartum hospital stay in Bronx, NY. Participants completed a survey including two best-worst scaling exe…

Exploring Factors Affecting Patient–Provider Interactions and Healthcare Engagement Among a Diverse Sample of Women Who Have Sex with Women in New York City
Women who have sex with women (WSW) have lower rates of engagement in health care and preventive screenings than women who have sex exclusively with men. Existing literature provides limited insight into how intersecting and overlapping identities, such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and identities related to gender expression, may shape individuals’ experiences within health care. We conducted qualitative interviews in …
Intersectional stigma and gender non-affirmation hinder HIV care engagement among transgender women living with HIV in India
Among transgender women living with HIV (TGWLH) in India, little is understood about the mechanisms through which multiple intersecting stigmas impact HIV care engagement, or intervention strategies that might mitigate this impact. We conducted focus groups with TGWLH (N = 30) in three Indian cities and analysed data using theoretical frameworks related to HIV stigma, gender affirmation, and syndemics. Findings revealed that enacted and anticipat…
Feasibility and acceptability of a peer influencer delivered social media based intervention to promote mental health awareness for young Black and Latinx gay and bisexual men and transgender women
Using an intervention informed and delivered by PIs, participants were presented with information to address relevant mental health concerns. We found that such novel means of engaging this sample for mental health is feasible, acceptable, and merits further development

Maximizing Response Rates to Ads for Free At-Home HIV Testing on a Men-for-Men Geosocial Sexual Networking App
Internet-based recruitment can be effective in reaching large numbers of geographically diverse individuals. Geosocial sexual networking apps on smartphones have emerged as the modal way in which men who have sex with men (MSM) meet sex partners, and as venues for sexual health research. We report on the performance of three types of ads—text-only, text with male figure (no face), and text with male figure (with face)—used on a geosocial sexual n…

The Role of Religiosity, Social Support, and Stress-related Growth in Protecting Against HIV Risk among Transgender Women
Transgender women completed questionnaires of religiosity, social support, stigma, stress-related growth, and sexual risk behavior. In a multivariate model, both social support and religious stress-related growth were significant negative predictors of unprotected anal sex, but religious behaviors and beliefs emerged as a significant positive predictor. The interaction between religious behaviors and beliefs and social support was also significan…
Association Between Socioeconomic Position Discrimination and Psychological Distress

Contextualizing condom use
Intimate relationships have received increasing attention as a context for HIV transmission. We examined the relationships among perceptions that condoms interfere with intimacy, gay-related stigma, and unprotected/protected anal intercourse. Participants included 245 single-identified men who have sex with men. Intimacy Interference was positively associated with number of unprotected anal intercourse acts, and this effect was stronger among par…
Behind Closed Doors
This study of 347 urban, self-identified lesbian (n = 289) and bisexual (n = 58) women examined women's engaging in 4 kinky sexual behaviors: bondage/domination, sadomasochism, photo/video exhibitionism, and asphyxiation/breath play. A cross-sectional, brief-intercept survey was administered at 2 New York City gay, lesbian, and bisexual community events. Over 40% reported engaging in at least 1 of these behaviors, and 25% reported engaging in mul…
Identity Safety and Relational Health in Youth Spaces
This article focuses on the function of youth organizations for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities of color. LGBTQ young people (N = 29) participated in a series of focus groups, completed a brief demographic survey, and created individual community maps. The youth organization was described as providing LGBTQ youth with a home and sense of “we,” which provided support for developing a sense of authenticity, mutual…
Symbolic boundaries, subcultural capital and prescription drug misuse across youth cultures
Prescription drug misuse among young adults has surged over the past decade. Yet the contexts surrounding this misuse remain unclear, particularly the subcultural contexts. Many young urban adults participate in youth cultures. This article describes the subcultural contexts of prescription drug misuse in youth subcultures. Drawing on ethnographic data collected over 12 months from different youth cultural scenes, the authors describe the subcult…
Butch Bottom–Femme Top? An Exploration of Lesbian Stereotypes
Lesbian gender labels (i.e., butch, soft butch, butch/femme, femme, and high femme) have set the stage for assumptions about lesbian attractions to sexual behaviors. This study explored the intersection of lesbian gender labels and attraction to sexual behaviors in 214 lesbian-identified women. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 69 with 48% being women of color. Contrary to stereotypes about sexual behavior in the lesbian community, very few d…
Unprotected Anal Intercourse With Casual Male Partners in Urban Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men
Objectives. We investigated trends in, and predictors of, unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with casual male partners of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Methods. We analyzed data from cross-sectional intercept surveys conducted annually (2003–2008) at 2 large lesbian, gay, and bisexual community events in New York City. Survey data covered GBMSM’s highest-risk behaviors for HIV acquisition (HIV-negative or unknown sta…
Consistency and Change in Club Drug Use by Sexual Minority Men in New York City, 2002 to 2007
We used repeated cross-sectional data from intercept surveys conducted annually at lesbian, gay, and bisexual community events to investigate trends in club drug use in sexual minority men (N = 6489) in New York City from 2002 to 2007. Recent use of ecstasy, ketamine, and γ-hydroxybutyrate decreased significantly. Crystal methamphetamine use initially increased but then decreased. Use of cocaine and amyl nitrates remained consistent. A greater nu…

Anticipating one's troubles
Although negative expectations may have the benefit of softening the blow when a negative event occurs, they also have the cost of making people feel worse while they are waiting for that event to happen. Three studies suggest that the cost of negative expectations is greater than the benefit. In 2 laboratory experiments and a field study, people felt worse when they were expecting a negative than a positive event; but once the event occurred, th…

Preexposure Prophylaxis and Predicted Condom Use Among High-Risk Men Who Have Sex With Men
OBJECTIVES: Preexposure prophylaxis (PREP) is an emerging HIV prevention strategy; however, many fear it may lead to neglect of traditional risk reduction practices through behavioral disinhibition or risk compensation. METHODS: Participants were 180 HIV-negative high-risk men who have sex with men recruited in New York City, who completed an Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview-administered survey between September 2007 and July 2009. Bivariat…
Loneliness and HIV-related stigma explain depression among older HIV-positive adults
Advances in the treatment of HIV have resulted in a large growing population of older adults with HIV. These aging adults face added social, psychological, and physical challenges associated with the aging process. Correlations between depression, loneliness, health, and HIV/AIDS-related stigma have been studied, but there is little evaluation of these associations among HIV-positive adults over the age of 50. Data for these analyses were taken f…

The most highly endorsed barriers to PrEP use w…
The Impact of Anticipated HIV Stigma on Delays in HIV Testing Behaviors
Treatment as prevention (TaSP) is a critical component of biomedical interventions to prevent HIV transmission. However, its success is predicated on testing and identifying undiagnosed individuals to ensure linkage and retention in HIV care. Research has examined the impact of HIV-associated stigma on HIV-positive individuals, but little work has explored how anticipated HIV stigma-the expectation of rejection or discrimination against by others…
