Objective: Young Black men who have sex with men (MSM) represent the majority of individuals with new HIV infections in the U.S. Substance use is related to risk and acquisition t of HIV. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and experiences about the role substance use plays in the lives HIV-positive and HIV-negative young Black MSM between the ages of 18-34.Methods: Using a qualitative, narrative perspective, we recruited and then interviewed participants in partnership with AIDS Service Organizations. Narrative and thematic analysis was used to analyze these Black men's personal stories with harm reduction used as the conceptual approach.Results: Nine HIV-positive and 3 HIV-negative participants(n=12) shared stories about their own personal experiences with family relationships and substance use. Themes related to family included early exposure and initiation of substance use, substance use as a response to stigma around sexual orientation, kicked out of house, asked to leave or left home so they could be themselves and perceived benefits and advantages of methamphetamine. Conclusions:The participants are subjected to adverse and stressful childhood experiences.These are important stories to understand if we expect to mount an adequate response, utilizing harm reduction, to the growing number of young Black MSM at-risk for HIV.

Introduction: HIV is a chronic disease that continues to increase from year to year, with many symptoms or obstacles encountered by HIV sufferers when going about their day. The experience of HIV sufferers is important to know in order to find out what they have experienced for as long as they have had the disease. The objective of this qualitative systematic review is to describe the experiences of people living with HIV.Methods: The method used was searching for journals using the pre-determined keywords of ‘experience’, ‘living with HIV’ and ‘coping’ through the databases of Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed and Sage between 2014 and 2019.Results: The study results showed that there was still discrimination against people with HIV. They also experienced health problems due to the effects of the therapy, unpreparedness in accepting their conditions and the prevention of transmission to their family members.Conclusion: Understanding the role of uncertainty, stigma and resilience is important, since these factors may very well contribute to the patient’s mental health.
