“…Accordingly, the utility of such information remains open to question. This problem may be particularly acute with the self-reports of individuals whose overall pattern of sexual behavior would be described as higher risk for contracting HIV (Jaccard et al 2004). The advancement of knowledge in this field has also been impeded by lack of experimental studies.…”

Alcohol Use and Risk of HIV infection among Men Who Have Sex with Men

2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the United States, men who have sex with men (MSM) currently represent more than 50% of those living with HIV and over 70% of HIV+ men (CDC 2007, http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/msm/resources/factsheets/pdf/msm.pdf ). Male-to-male sexual contact has been identified as the predominant route of transmission among this sub-group, which underscores the need for research that targets risk factors associated with risky sex-related HIV acquisition. Along these lines, research has shown that one potentially important predictor variable for risky sex among MSM is alcohol use. The major aim of this paper is to review and integrate empirical evidence on the association of alcohol use and risky sex among MSM. A summary of the quantitative research is provided first, followed by a critique of the reviewed literature, a discussion of the consistency of the existing empirical evidence with predictions of current theories, and finally, recommendations for future research designed to evaluate alcohol-related sexual risk in MSM.

“…49,50 Nevertheless, reliability studies evaluating test-retest and internal consistency have found relatively high agreement when surveys are administered under the same conditions using meaningful reference time intervals. 51,52 The validity of self-reported sexual behavior has been called into question by studies comparing selfreport with biologic outcomes such as STIs. 53,54 Dunne et al 53 found HPV DNA in 5% of women who reported never having had sex.…”

In the US, federal and state behavioral surveillance systems routinely monitor selfreported sexual behavior and Papanicolaou (Pap) test use to identify high-risk populations, trends, and disparities and to guide and evaluate interventions for cervical cancer prevention and control. Clinical uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and testing necessitates the expansion of behavioral surveillance systems. Cervical disease is the main focus of HPV-related behavioral surveillance because of greater cancer incidence and mortality relative to other susceptible organs, and the availability of effective technologies for prevention and control. In the current study, a framework is presented for the types of behaviors to monitor, their conceptual and operational definitions, target populations, and evidence supporting the reliability and validity of self-report measures. An overview is also pro-

“…These community-based organizations provided HIV prevention and HIV primary care services; therefore, study participants could have received program interventions regarding disclosure practices. Data about sexual behavior is always self-reported data and, thus, can reflect errors in recall, deliberate falsification, intoxication during the interview process, and/or social desirability (Elliot, Huizinga, & Menard 1989;Jaccard et al, 2004). Finally, the study was limited by the characteristics of the sample, selectivity of the sample, and size of the sample.…”

This study employed qualitative methods to understand better the disclosure practices of men with their male and female sexual partners. Open-ended, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 heterosexually identified men who reported at least one sexual encounter with a male in the previous year but not more than one sexual encounter with a male per month. Fifty-eight percent of the participants were HIV infected. Most HIV-infected participants reported disclosure of their HIV serostatus to their female sexual partners but did not disclose that they engaged in occasional sexual encounters with a male partner. Disclosure of HIV serostatus to male sexual partners was minimal and inconsistent.
