Navigating sexual healthcare
BACKGROUND: Migrant men who have sex with men (mMSM) may face barriers in accessing sexual healthcare and information, contributing to health disparities, as they are at increased risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. To better understand how healthcare systems can be made more equitable and responsive to mMSM's needs, this qualitative study explored (1) mMSM's experiences with se…
Evaluating the Implementation of Home-Based Sexual Health Care Among Men Who Have Sex with Men
Home-based sexual health care (including self-sampling testing) could reduce barriers to clinic-based testing. This study systematically evaluated the implementation of home-based sexual health care ('Limburg4Zero') among men who have sex with men (MSM) in a mixed urban-rural region of the Netherlands. We systematically assessed implementation outcomes (contextual domains, population reached, effectiveness, adoption by health care providers (HCP)…
Proportional representation and incidence rate of repeat visits in ethnic minorities compared to native Dutch people under the age of 25 years in the Netherlands
Perspectives of migrant men who have sex with men and professionals on personal, social and structural barriers and facilitators to sexual healthcare access and outreach strategies
Addressing personal, social and structural barriers while enhancing facilitators contributes to more inclusive and equitable sexual healthcare services. Besides, increasing reach of mMSM through the dissemination of tailored information via social networks, digital platforms, and community settings further supports this objective. These findings inform strategies aimed at reducing health disparities and contribute to broader STI, HIV, and hepatit…
Engagement in sexual healthcare and STI/HIV burden of first- and second-generation migrant and Western-born female sex workers in the Netherlands
Migrant FSW versus Western-born FSW demonstrated a varying burden of STI, FGM heightened proportions and odds of infectious syphilis, hepatitis B and HIV and lower likelihood of repeat consultations. Enhancing accessibility and outreach efforts for migrant FSW in sexual healthcare services is imperative
Newly diagnosed HIV and use of HIV-PrEP among non-western born MSM attending STI clinics in the Netherlands
Introduction: The World Health Organization recommends HIV-PrEP for all people at risk for HIV infection, which includes men who have sex with men (MSM). Substantial part of new HIV diagnoses in the Netherlands are in non-western born MSM. This study evaluated new HIV diagnoses and reported PrEP use among non-western born MSM and compared it to western-born MSM. To inform public health efforts in the context of equitable PrEP access, we further a…
Mpox vaccination willingness, determinants, and communication needs in gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, in the context of limited vaccine availability in the Netherlands (Dutch Mpox…
Introduction: In the 2022 multicountry mpox (formerly named monkeypox) outbreak, several countries offered primary preventive vaccination (PPV) to people at higher risk for infection. We study vaccine acceptance and its determinants, to target and tailor public health (communication-) strategies in the context of limited vaccine supply in the Netherlands. Methods: Online survey in a convenience sample of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex w…
Using a theoretical framework of Intervention Mapping to inform public health communication messages designed to increase vaccination uptake; the example of mpox in the Netherlands
IM provided a valuable tool in selecting communication methods to promote mpox vaccination uptake. These methods can be used to (more quickly) produce and implement a communication program in the context of possible future, vaccine-preventable, infectious disease outbreaks
Sexual (Risk) Behavior and Risk-Reduction Strategies of Home-Based Male Sex Workers Who Have Sex with Men (MSW–MSM) in The Netherlands
An understanding of sexual (risk) behavior is necessary to successfully develop prevention and care strategies for the sexually transmitted infections (STI) high-risk group of male sex workers who have sex with men (MSW–MSM). However, limited scientific knowledge is available on sexual (risk) behavior of (home-based) MSW–MSM. This study aimed to gain an understanding of sexual (risk) behavior, factors influencing sexual (risk) behavior, and appli…
Barriers and facilitators to utilisation of public sexual healthcare services for male sex workers who have sex with men (MSW-MSM) in The Netherlands
The MSW-MSM population's diversity and identified barriers, facilitators and implications should be taken into account to optimize accessibility and utilisation of SHS for MSW-MSM in Western Europe. SHS-providers could facilitate sex work disclosure by personally asking patients about sex in exchange for money or goods in a non-judgmental manner and explaining the medical relevance of disclosure
