Disentangling Between- and Within-Person Effects of HIV PrEP and Treatment Attitudes on Condom Use and Bacterial STIs Among Sexual Minority Men
Kotawêw
Indigenous women, two-spirit, transgender, and gender-diverse people in Canada experience disproportionate HIV and sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI) inequities shaped by colonial violence and systemic racism. While Indigenous doula work is resurging as reproductive justice, its application to HIV/STBBI prevention and care remains underexplored. We examined how Indigenous HIV/STBBI doula care is envisioned and what competencie…
Disparities in healthcare, STI testing, and PrEP access among newcomer sexual minority men in Canada's three largest urban centers
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) are more likely to be diagnosed with HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) compared with the general population. Although newcomers generally experience a health advantage in Canada compared with non‐immigrants and more established immigrants (i.e., healthy immigrant effect), they also experience disparities in access to healthcare services. These disparities, in turn, may le…
Identifying Syndemic Factors and Their Effect on HIV Sexual Risk Behavior Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto
We set out to identify syndemic factors associated with HIV sexual risk behavior among HIV-negative gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM), and examine associations between syndemic factors and HIV sexual risk behaviors using models of co-occurring epidemics. We used baseline data from 1571 sexually active GBM from the Engage Cohort study, recruited using respondent-driven sampling in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. We explored…
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
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
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
Examining Associations Between Resilience and PrEP Use Among HIV-negative GBM in Toronto, Montreal and 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…
Assessing options for poppers policy in Canada
Who knows about U = U? Social positionality and knowledge about the (un)transmissibility of HIV from people with undetectable viral loads
"U = U" is the principle that HIV is untransmittable from people living with an undetectable HIV viral-load. Wide-spread knowledge about U = U is believed to produce public health benefit by reducing HIV-related stigma - promoting wellbeing for people living with HIV. Therefore, we examined the diffusion of U = U with respect to the social position of sexual and gender minority men (SGMM). Participants were SGMM recruited from 16 LGBTQ2S+ pride f…
What public health interventions do people in Canada prefer to fund? A discrete choice experiment
Informational campaigns highlighting disparities experienced by marginalized populations may improve support for targeted and tailored interventions
Minority stressors and connectedness among urban gay, bisexual, and queer men
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…
Community-Based Participatory Approaches to Knowledge Translation
Democratizing Access to Community-Based Survey Findings Through Dynamic Data Visualizations
Stepping Stones or Second Class Donors
Plasma donor policies must be considered in relation to MSM blood donation policies to understand how donor eligibility practices are made meaningful by GBM in the context of historical disenfranchisement. Successful establishment of a MSM plasma donor policy will require extensive education, explicit communication of how this new policy contributes to continued/stepwise reform of blood donor policies, and considerable reconciliation with diverse…
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
It's in Me to Give
Blood donation policies governing men who have sex with men have shifted significantly over time in Canada-from an initial lifetime ban in the wake of the AIDS crisis to successive phases of time-based deferment requiring periods of sexual abstinence (5 years to 1 year to 3 months). We interviewed 39 HIV-negative gay, bisexual, queer, and other sexual minority men (GBM) in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal to understand their willingness to donate…
Gay and bisexual men’s views on reforming blood donation policy in Canada
A predominant assertion was that a change from a 12-month to a 3-month deferral period would not resolve the fundamental issues of fairness and equity affecting blood screening practices for GBM in Canada. Many participants believed that blood donation policy should be based on more up-to-date scientific evidence concerning risk factor assessment and HIV testing
HIV leadership programming attendance is associated with PrEP and PEP awareness among young, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Vancouver, Canada
Younger GBM, who are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic, are less aware of new prevention technologies than older GBM, but attending peer-based HIV-leadership programs ameliorates age-disparities in HIV-prevention knowledge and treatment optimism
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 …

Seroadaptive Strategies of Vancouver Gay and Bisexual Men in a Treatment as Prevention Environment
British Columbia's treatment as prevention policy has provided free access to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) to all HIV-positive provincial residents since 1996. One outcome is an increase in HIV-positive gay and bisexual men (GBM) with suppressed viral loads. Previous cross-sectional analyses indicated that some Vancouver GBM now recognize condomless anal sex with men on HAART who report a suppressed viral load as a seroadaptive st…

Estimating the Size of the MSM Population in Metro Vancouver, Canada, Using Multiple Methods and Diverse Data Sources
HIV-negative gay men's accounts of using context-dependent sero-adaptive strategies
We enrolled 166 gay and bisexual men who tested HIV-negative at a community sexual health clinic in Vancouver, British Columbia, into a year-long mixed-methods study. A subsample of participants who reported recent condomless anal sex (n = 33) were purposively recruited into an embedded qualitative study and completed two in-depth qualitative interviews. Analysis of baseline interviews elicited three narratives relevant to men's use of context- o…
Community mapping and respondent-driven sampling of gay and bisexual men's communities in Vancouver, Canada
Literature suggests formative research is vital for those using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) to study hidden populations of interest. However, few authors have described in detail how different qualitative methodologies can address the objectives of formative research for understanding the social network properties of the study population, selecting seeds and adapting survey logistics to best fit the population. In this paper we describe the …
“ … It’s almost therapeutic, right? Because it’s almost like that session that I never had”
Limited research has explored how gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men describe the impact of their involvement in HIV and sexual health research. We enrolled 166 gay and bisexual men who tested HIV-negative at a community sexual health clinic in Vancouver, British Columbia, into a year-long mixed methods study. Thirty-three of these participants who reported recent condomless anal intercourse were purposively recruited into an embed…
