“…Additionally, a smaller percentage of black MSM are aware of their infection, and they may be diagnosed at a later stage of HIV infection than white MSM [11], and thus might engage in risky behaviors for a longer period during which they are unaware of their infection. Social determinants of health like poverty, education, employment, housing, and stigma could also contribute to the racial/ethnic HIV disparities we observed [31].…”

States across the U.S. lack effective ways to quantify HIV prevalence rates among men who have sex with men (MSM). We estimated population-based HIV prevalence rates among MSM in the 17 southern states by race/ethnicity. Through 2007, estimated HIV prevalence rates per 100,000 MSM ranged from 2,607.6 among white (non-Hispanic) MSM in Maryland to 41,512.9 among black (non-Hispanic) MSM in the District of Columbia. Black MSM rates significantly exceeded Hispanic and white MSM rates in each state. Significant racial/ethnic disparities in rates persisted in a sensitivity analysis examining the possibility that minority MSM populations had been underestimated in each state. Compared with black, Hispanic, and white non-MSM males, respectively, rates at the regional level were 25.2 times higher for black MSM, 43.0 times higher for Hispanic MSM, and 106.0 times higher for white MSM. State-level analysis of racial/ ethnic-specific MSM HIV prevalence rates can help guide resource allocation and assist advocacy.

“…Sexual health is important for all patients but it is also a matter of public health and is best seen through the lens of the risks and needs of specific vulnerable populations (Dean & Fenton, 2010;Steiner et al, 2013;Swartzendruber & Zenilman, 2010). In San Francisco and the majority of urban centers in the United States, a disproportionate burden of HIV and STDs is within the gay population (Scheer et al, 2008).…”

“…Sexual health has been acknowledged to be an important and often overlooked aspect of healthcare (Dean & Fenton, 2010;Institute of Medicine, 2011;Steiner, Aquino, & Fenton, 2013;Swartzendruber & Zenilman, 2010). According to the World Health Organization, sexual health encompasses the physical, psychological, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality and is not simply the absence of disease but requires an affirming approach to human sexual behavior and relationships, one that respects and protects the sexual rights of all individuals (World Health Organization).…”

Creating a Strategic Partnership for Educating Nurse Practitioner Students about Sexual Health

Sexual health is an essential and often neglected component of primary care. Nurse practitioners are ideal members of the healthcare team to be providing sexual health information, diagnoses, and treatments. Unfortunately, this is an area that has been lacking in the education of all healthcare providers. This paper describes a program that incorporates sexual health into the curriculum for nurse practitioner students through collaboration between the university school of nursing and the local health department. Given the increasing shortage of clinical sites and the need to train nurse practitioners to be competent in the delivery of sexual health, this is a model that could benefit other schools of nursing.
