“…The high HIV prevalence among Black MSM, disparities in social determinants of health, HIV treatment outcomes (specifically viral load suppression), and sexual networks increase HIV transmission potential among Black MSM [2][3][4]. As such, the ongoing high HIV incidence rates among MSM, but particularly Black MSM, have necessitated the development and implementation of a range of HIV prevention approaches including those that are biomedically based (e.g., pre-exposure prophylaxis [PrEP]) [5,6], behavioral efforts [7,8], and combination interventions [9].…”

We assessed whether disclosure of HIV status is significantly associated with reported HIV sexual risk behaviors among HIV positive Black/African American men who have sex with men (MSM) (Black MSM) in six cities in the USA. Participants from the BROTHERS (HIV Prevention Trials Network [HPTN 061]) study focused on assessing the feasibility and acceptability of a multifaceted HIV prevention intervention to reduce HIV infections among Black MSM enrolled between July 2009 and October 2010. All participants completed a behavioral assessment using an audio computer-assisted self-interview that included questions about HIV status disclosure, HIV sexual risk behaviors, and other behaviors. Biological samples were also collected. This analysis focused on baseline data of HIV-positive Black MSM in the HPTN 061 study. Of the 143 HIV-positive Black MSM (majority ≥ 35 years of age) included in this analysis, 58% reported disclosing their HIV status to their last male anal sex partner. Forty-three percent and 42% reported condomless insertive and receptive anal intercourse respectively with their last male partner; whereas, 17% and 18% of the sample engaged in condomless insertive and receptive anal intercourse with a serodiscordant/unknown status partner, respectively. In multivariable logistic regression models, there was no statistically significant association between HIV status disclosure and condomless insertive anal intercourse (aOR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.11, 1.08; p = 0.30), condomless receptive anal intercourse (aOR = 2.48, 95% CI 0.94, 6.52; p = 0.20), or condomless receptive anal intercourse with a serodiscordant/unknown status partner (aOR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.20, 1.49; p = 0.45). However, HIV status disclosure was significantly associated with lower odds of reporting condomless insertive anal intercourse with a serodiscordant/ unknown status partner (aOR = 0.19, 95% CI 0.06, 0.68; p ≤ 0.01). Among this multi-city sample of HIV-positive Black MSM, disclosure of HIV status was common and associated with lower HIV sexual risk behaviors. These findings should motivate and guide research to develop prevention messages to increase HIV status disclosures. Keywords Serostatus disclosure. HIV sexual risk behaviors.

“…Correspondingly, 'Population' in this review refers to all homosexual and bisexual adult in China, including both male/female homosexuality and bisexuality of both genders. Meanwhile, referring to some widely used expressions such as MSM and WSW, as a behavioral category which represented in populations of 'homosexually active' men, MSM could incorporate not only gay and bisexual men, but also straight-identi ed MSM or others [41], which should also be applicable to WSW group. 'Concept' in this review refers to the holistic health, a broad conceptualization of health de ned by WHO [30], encompassing varied dimensions of health including the complete physical, mental and social well-being, and this review will target all these health-related aspects.…”

Background: There is a considerable number of homosexual and bisexual people in the Chinese population, while their health conditions have not received sufficient attention compared with general Chinese. Referring to World Health Organization (WHO)’s definition, holistic health is a comprehensive concept incorporating physical, mental, and social well-being. However, existing research seems inadequate and unbalanced on the holistic health of this population, especially many studies only focus on sexually transmitted infections (STI) and relating preventions. Apart from these, the health status of these sexual minorities from a holistic perspective remains unclear. Therefore, this scoping review aims to comprehensively examine all available literature and will be the first to map the existing evidence on the holistic health of homosexual and bisexual Chinese.Methods: This proposed scoping review has been structured according to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) recommended framework, which was proposed by Arksey and O’Malley and further enhanced by Levac, et al. Pilot searches of PubMed in English and SinoMed in Chinese were completed to identify all relevant search terms or keywords, then a comprehensive search strategy has been carried out across all relevant databases centering on health care, psychology, nursing and social science, including both English and traditional as well as simplified Chinese electronic databases. Screening and study selection will be independently conducted by two reviewers, and consulting a third senior reviewer based on consensus needs. Data will be extracted using a structured data form referring to the Cochrane template, and a narrative synthesis of the findings will be used.Discussion: There is no systematically reviewed evidence available or underway review on the holistic health of either homosexual or bisexual Chinese, so this scoping review will serve as a most comprehensive way to map the existing evidence and draw a big picture of their health conditions. Results of this review can be used to inform scholars of existing health issues and other major needs, then to provide scientific references for the development of person-centered culturally sensitive programs with Chinese characteristics.Systematic review registration: This protocol has been registered within Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/82r7z) on April 27, 2020.

“…This paradigmatic congruence of theoretical approaches focused on individual choice orients the kinds of structural interventions deemed suitable in 'combination approaches' to prevention, the strategy favoured by UNAIDS, the AIDS2031 Consortium and many of the most prominent epidemiological experts on HIV/AIDS (e.g. Padian et al 2011;Verboom, Melendez-Torres, and Bonell 2014). Structural interventions are designed to be part of prevention 'packages' that include existing biomedical and behavioural interventions.…”

Trapped in the prison of the proximate: structural HIV/AIDS prevention in southern Africa

Review of African Political Economy

There is now agreement in HIV/AIDS prevention that biomedical and behavioural interventions do not sufficiently address the structural causes of the epidemic, but structural prevention is understood in different ways. The social drivers approach models pathways that link structural constraints to individuals at risk and then devises intervention to affect these pathways. An alternative political economy approach that begins with the bio-social whole provides a better basis for understanding the structural causes of HIV/AIDS. It demands that HIV/AIDS prevention in southern Africa should not be a set of discrete technical interventions but a sustained political as well as scientific project.
