Physical and sexual violence and sexual behaviors among men who have sex with men in 22 U.S. Cities-national HIV behavioral surveillance, 2017
Freeman JQ , Cha S , Wejnert C , Baugher A . J Interpers Violence 2022 38 8862605221078821 National prevalence of physical and sexual violence and its relationship to sexual behaviors are unknown among men who have sex with men (MSM). We estimated 12-month prevalence of physical and sexual violence and assessed relationships between violence and sexual behaviors among MSM. Data were obtained from National HIV Behavioral Surveillance 2017 that used time-space sampling methods to recruit and interview MSM in 22 U.S. cities. Weighted percentages with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and 95% CIs were calculated using logistic regression with predicted marginal means. Overall, 10.2% (95% CI: 9.3%-11.2%) of MSM experienced physical violence only, 3.2% (95% CI: 2.7%-3.7%) experienced sexual violence only, and 2.3% (95% CI: 1.9%-2.7%) experienced both types of violence, in the past 12 months. Compared to MSM who did not experience violence, those who did reported higher percentages of unemployment, poverty, homelessness, same-sex discrimination, non-injection drug use, and binge drinking. Violence was not independently associated with condomless anal sex among MSM. MSM who experienced both types of violence were more likely than those who did not experience violence to have had four or more male sex partners (aPR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.02-1.37). MSM who experienced both types of violence (aPR=2.49, 95% CI: 1.52-4.09), sexual violence (aPR=2.27, 95% CI: 1.47-3.52), or physical violence (aPR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.27-2.44) were more likely than those who did not experience violence to have had exchange sex. Recent physical violence and sexual violence are common among MSM. Findings highlight the importance of violence screening and suggest the need for tailored interventions that improve the safety and economic security of MSM who experience violence, including those who exchange sex. |
Prevalence of and racial/ethnic differences in sexuality disclosure among men who have sex with men in 23 U.S. citiesNational HIV Behavioral Surveillance, 2017
Freeman JQ , Trujillo L , Baugher AR . J HIV AIDS Soc Serv 2021 21 (1) 76-89 Sexuality disclosure among men who have sex with men (MSM) is key in access to HIV prevention services. We used weighted 2017 data from National HIV Behavioral Surveillance to investigate prevalence of, and racial/ethnic differences in, sexuality disclosure among MSM. Of 10,753 MSM, 89.4% (95% CI: 88.590.3%) had disclosed their sexuality to any non-lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) friends, 85.9% (95% CI: 84.887.0%) had disclosed their sexuality to any family members, and 82.8% (95% CI: 81.683.9%) had disclosed their sexuality to any health care providers. Although most MSM had disclosed, 23.8% (95% CI: 22.425.1%) had not disclosed to at least one of the three groups. Black, Hispanic/Latino, or Asian MSM were less likely than White MSM to have disclosed their sexuality to any non-LGB friends, any family members, or any health care providers, after adjusting for age and region. We found high prevalence of sexuality disclosure among MSM, but racial/ethnic differences persist. Strategies and interventions to promote sexuality disclosure among MSM are needed. 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. |

Racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in awareness of preexposure prophylaxis among HIV-negative heterosexually active adults at increased risk for HIV infection - 23 urban areas, United States, 2019
Baugher AR , Trujillo L , Kanny D , Freeman JQ , Hickey T , Sionean C , Respress E , Bardales JC , Marcus R , Finlayson T , Wejnert C . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2021 70 (47) 1635-1639 In 2019, heterosexual sex accounted for 23% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States and six dependent areas (1). Although preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can safely reduce the risk for HIV infection among heterosexual persons, this group is underrepresented in PrEP research (2). CDC analyzed National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) data to describe PrEP awareness among heterosexually active adults in cities with high HIV prevalence. Overall, although 32.3% of heterosexually active adults who were eligible were aware of PrEP, <1% used PrEP. Racial, ethnic, and gender disparities were identified, with the lowest awareness of PrEP among residents of Puerto Rico (5.8%) and Hispanic or Latino (Hispanic) men (19.5%) and women (17.6%). Previous studies have found that heterosexual adults are interested in taking PrEP when they are aware of it (3); tailoring PrEP messaging, including Spanish-language messaging, to heterosexual adults, might increase PrEP awareness and mitigate disparities in use. |
