“…The most common measure, reported by 28 studies (60%), was prevalence of incarceration history. Of these, 19 articles reported lifetime incarceration history estimates [11,12,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Eleven of these articles had estimates focused on BMSM of all ages (i.e., samples of all or primarily BMSM) [11, 28-31, 34-36, 40, 42, 43], five particularly among YBMSM [33,[37][38][39]44], one among BTW only [41], and two among both BMSM and BTW [12,32].…”

“…Among these, two articles contained estimates specific to BTW [45,46] and one among YBMSM in particular [49]. Six articles described prevalence estimates for history of arrest [25,39,[50][51][52][53], varying from lifetime history to the past 6 or 12 months, though one had an unspecified window [50], Two analyses based on the same sample of YBMSM broadly assessed lifetime criminal justice involvement (inclusive of both arrest and incarceration) [13,54].…”

Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) and Black transgender women (BTW) are impacted by dual epidemics of HIV and incarceration. We advanced understanding of the relationship between criminal justice involvement, HIV, and other key HIVrelated characteristics among these key populations in the US. We conducted a systematic review up to 2018 and 47 articles met the inclusion criteria of scientific publications involving quantitative findings of US-based HIV-related studies focused on criminal justice-involved (CJI) BMSM and BTW. Overall, there was a dearth of studies focused specifically on BTW. Criminal justice involvement was relatively high among BMSM and BTW and more pronounced among BTW. The current evidence favors no association between incarceration and HIV acquisition among BMSM with limited information about BTW. Criminal justice involvement was associated with a greater likelihood of STIs among BMSM with mixed results for sexual risk behaviors. Criminal justice settings served as an important venue for HIV testing/diagnosis for both BMSM and BTW. However, these settings were not conducive for subsequent stages of the HIV care continuum. Studies pointed to an independent association between criminal justice involvement, substance use, housing instability, and greater odds of incarceration among BMSM who were unemployed and had limited education. Future incarceration was associated with high levels of perceived racism among BMSM. Among young BMSM, high network criminal justice prevalence was also associated with sexual risk behaviors, poorer mental health outcomes, drug use, and housing instability. CJI BMSM and BTW represent a critical subpopulation to end the HIV epidemic in the US.Keywords HIV . Criminal justice-involved . Corrections . Black men who have sex with men .

“…For example, one study of a sample of 252 AAMSM recruited in nightclubs in North Carolina found those recently incarcerated were more likely to report insertive unprotected anal intercourse [5]. A longitudinal study of young MSM in Chicago found sexual behaviors among AAMSM were more substantially impacted by arrest or incarceration than those of non-black MSM [6].…”

Association between Recent Criminal Justice Involvement and Transactional Sex among African American Men Who Have Sex with Men in Baltimore

et al. 2019

Non-Hispanic Black/African American men who have sex with men (AAMSM) have been disproportionately affected by criminal justice (CJ) involvement and HIV. One potential pathway between CJ involvement and high HIV prevalence and incidence among AAMSM is through risky sexual behavior. The goal of this study was to explore the association between recent CJ involvement, i.e., having been arrested and/or in prison/jail in the past 6 months, and transactional sex in a sample of AAMSM in Baltimore. We analyzed the baseline data of 396 AAMSM from a pilot behavioral HIV intervention conducted in Baltimore, MD, between October 2012 and November 2015. A multivariate logistic regression model was conducted to explore the association between recent CJ involvement and transactional sex. A total of 65 (16%) participants reported recent CJ involvement, and 116 (29%) reported transactional sex in the past 90 days. After adjusting for age, education, employment, sexual identity, HIV status, and drug use, recent CJ involvement was significantly associated with transactional sex (AOR 3.31; 95% CI 1.72; 5.70). Being 24-40 years (AOR 2.73; 95% CI 1.17, 6.33) or over 40 years older (AOR 3.80; 95% CI 1.61, 8.98) vs. younger and using drugs (AOR 4.47; 95% CI 2.43, 8.23) also remained independently associated with recent transactional sex. Findings of the current study contribute to the literature on the association between recent history of CJ involvement and transactional sex among AAMSM. More evidence-based HIV prevention interventions for people involved in the CJ system who are at high risk for contracting HIV, particularly racial and sexual minorities such as AAMSM, are urgently needed.

Police Exposures and the Health and Well-being of Black Youth in the US

This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline. 16 We examined studies that explored the association between police exposures and health outcomes for Black youth 26 years and younger. Literature Search StrategyWe searched the following databases on December 19, 2020: PubMed, Embase, Criminal Justice Abstracts, PsycInfo, and Web of Science (eFigure 1 in the Supplement). Search terms were developed by one of us (M.J.) with the assistance of a medical librarian and encompassed the following concepts: (1) police, (2) Black, and (3) health outcomes (eFigure 1 in the Supplement). Study Selection and Data ExtractionFollowing removal of duplicates, 2 independent reviewers (M.J. and A.M.) performed title, abstract, and full-text screening as well as data extraction using Covidence software (Veritas Health Innovation). Included studies were peer-reviewed original research (quantitative or qualitative) conducted in the US and published between 1980, when community policing became prevalent, and December 2020. The study population was Black youth. Studies were included if participants 26 years and younger and 50% or more of the study population included Black participants or if there was a subgroup analysis of Black participants (ie, race stratification, with race as a modifier variable). For studies with less than 50% Black participants and race as a covariate, authors were contacted to request subgroup analyses. If subgroup analyses were not available, the study was excluded. Additionally, Hispanic/Latinx ethnic subgroups were excluded if Black race was not indicated.

Interplay of Race and Criminal Justice Involvement on Sexual Behaviors of Young Men Who Have Sex With Men

Abstract: We found that the intersection between race and criminal justice involvement plays a major role in sexual behaviors. More research is needed to understand why a history of arrest or incarceration has a much more profound effect on black MSM than on non-black MSM.
