“…This findings is in line with the findings by Cove and Petrak (2004) who found erectile disorder to be associated with condom use by men living with HIV. Our study also found that adherence to safe sexual practices was compromised among people living with HIV and this is further corroborated by previous studies (Rosser, Gobby, & Carr, 1999). Failure to perform the sexual act has been reported to conflict with the masculinity role that the communities hold of men and negatively affected the men's self-image (Fitzpatrick, Frost, & Ikkos, 1986;Hijazi, Nandwani, & Kell, 2002).…”

In this qualitative inquiry, we set out to explore the experience of condom use and erectile disorder (ED) among men living with HIV in a rural district of Zimbabwe. Data on condom use related erectile disorder with antiretroviral (ART) medication were collected from a purposive sample of 18 men living with HIV and AIDS (age range 23-54 years). These data were supplemented with those from a convenience sample of 23 women living with HIV who self-identified as partners of men living with HIV and AIDS (age range 26-37 years). The data were thematically analyzed. Results suggest that men attributed their experiencing of erectile problems to two main explanations: use of condoms and ART medication. These men reported inconsistent use of condoms and/or adherance to ART therapy due to a belief that these cause their ED. The women informants reported similar observations, including the shared gendered perspective that the men perceived a loss of sense of manhood from ED. Beliefs that influence health promotion with men living with HIV and AIDS are important to public health interventions with them.

“…The Amsterdam Young Men's study reported that 50% of new infections in 1995 through 1997 were attributed to unprotected sex with a primary partner (Davidovich, de Wit, and Stroebe, 2000). In the United States, 27% of a sample of HIV-infected persons in the Midwest (most of whom were gay and bisexual men) attributed seroconversion to sex with their main partner (Rosser, Gobby, and Carr, 1999). The literature clearly shows that partner status is associated with sexual risk taking behavior among gay and bisexual men.…”

Examining the role of partner status in an HIV prevention trial targeting HIV-positive gay and bisexual men: the seropositive urban men’s intervention trial (SUMIT)

The goal of this analysis was to examine whether partner status impacted behavioral outcomes from the Seropositive Urban Men's Intervention Trial (SUMIT). We contrasted sample characteristics of HIV-positive gay and bisexual men with and without main partners and then examined differences in sexual behaviors among men participating in an enhanced HIV prevention intervention compared to those in a standard condition. Logistic regression analyses were performed to differentiate characteristics of men with and without main partners and mixed-model logistic regression analyses were performed to test for intervention effects. Men with main partners showed a greater likelihood of having unprotected anal sex with any partner, although the number of male sexual partners was higher for men without a main partner. SUMIT generally produced few differences in sexual risk behaviors and did not affect several potential mediator variables of the relationship between the intervention and sexual behaviors with main and nonmain partners.

“…32 Demographic characteristics (e.g., race/ethnicity and residence), patterns of Internet use, and known covariates of risky sexual behavior among adolescents and MSM (i.e., substance use and sexual arousal) were assessed. The sexual health model 29 and previous research [11][12][13][14]17,25 guided our choice of covariates. To examine the relationship between Internet use and sexual behaviors, we grouped respondents into 1 of 3 mutually exclusive categories based on self-reported sexual encounters with men in the preceding 3 months:…”

Sexual Risk Taking Among Young Internet-Using Men Who Have Sex With Men

 RESEARCH AND PRACTICE  Objectives. We examined the characteristics of young Internet-using men who have sex with men (MSM) and risks associated with seeking sex online, offline, or through both strategies.Methods. Data were obtained from MSM aged 18 to 24 years who completed a 45-minute online survey regarding sex and Internet use in the preceding 3 months.Results. Significantly more Internet-using MSM who had met sexual partners both online and offline (43%) reported unprotected anal intercourse than did those who had met sexual partners exclusively online (29%) or offline (34%). MSM who met sexual partners exclusively offline reported the fewest partners but the greatest proportion of partnerships involving unprotected anal intercourse (49%). Meeting sexual partners both online and offline (odds ratio [OR]=3.38-58.42) and being drunk (OR=1.57) or high (OR=2.24) increased the odds of having more sexual partners. The same factors increased the odds of having unprotected anal intercourse (online and offline sexual partners, OR=1.60; being drunk, OR=1.43; being high, OR=1.61).Conclusions. Risky sexual behavior was prevalent among all of the study subgroups. Our findings suggest that online sex seeking is associated with greater numbers of sexual partners but neither promotes nor discourages unprotected anal intercourse. Regardless of where sexual partners met, being drunk and high were significant risks for unprotected anal intercourse.
