Download or read book Sexual Interactions and HIV Risk written by Mitchell Cohen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How sexual risk is negotiated betwen partners is an area of considerable theoretical interest, with the dominant models of analysis focusing on individual decisions to engage in sexual behaviour and relying on "rational" decision-making. This work, based on the findings from work coordinated by the Centre d'Etudes Sociologiques in Brussels, offers a social critique of the theories and perspectives which have currently been brought to bear in the study of sexual risk behaviour and HIV. Leading European researchers offer a conceptual framework for analysis based on sexual interactions and their social context. The practical relevance of new perspectives on sexual behaviour in the context of HIV/AIDS prevention is also discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find out how best to develop HIV prevention programs that work Community Collaborative Partnerships: The Foundation for HIV Prevention Research Efforts is a must read for anyone interested in developing prevention programs within high-risk urban environments. Illustrative case studies, quality research, revealing personal stories, and helpful tables and figures provide valuable insights on innovative ways to partner in the prevention of the spread of HIV in youths. Leading experts in the field offer practical strategies to dissolve the distrust individuals in a community hold for researchers not a part of that community, fostering an effective collaboration to deal with problems. The book also describes ways to go beyond the United States’ model to reveal how to replicate the same dynamic relationships in international communities. Active participation with the community and families has been found to be vital for the success of HIV/AIDS prevention efforts. Community Collaborative Partnerships: The Foundation for HIV Prevention Research Efforts solves the common problem of forcing ineffective program models onto an unreceptive community. Program developers get the necessary tools to develop relationships and cultivate substantive input from those in the community to help ensure better program results. The research here is up-to-date, and the suggestions invaluable. Topics in Community Collaborative Partnerships: The Foundation for HIV Prevention Research Efforts include: the role of parenting in mental health and HIV risk research findings about frequency of sexual intercourse among adolescents racial socialization and family role in HIV knowledge family influences on exposure to situations of sexual possibility preadolescent risk behavior influence on parental monitoring strategies for collaboration between community and academic HIV prevention researchers involving urban parents as collaborators in HIV prevention research motivators—and barriers—to participation of minority families in a prevention program transferring a university-led HIV prevention program to the community Trinidad and Tobago HIV/AIDS prevention using a family-based program and much more! Community Collaborative Partnerships: The Foundation for HIV Prevention Research Efforts is valuable reading for researchers, program developers, community-based organizations, public policy/advocacy organizations, community organizers, educators, and students in the fields of social work, public health, public administration, and community medicine.

Book Synopsis Contextualizing Risk by : Cherie Blair
Download or read book Contextualizing Risk written by Cherie Blair and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic and represent 70% of incident HIV cases in the United States, despite constituting 3.9% of the population. These disparities are particularly relevant in the context of the burgeoning stimulant use epidemic, as stimulant use is associated with increased HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevalence among MSM. Given these contexts, this dissertation consists of three studies that explored the impacts of stimulant use on HIV/STI transmission dynamics among a diverse cohort of MSM in Los Angeles, California. Study one examined the relative contributions of methamphetamine use, depression, and sexual risk behavior on rectal STIs using path analysis. Study two consisted of a latent class analysis to determine risk behaviors associated with patterns of sexualized stimulant and alcohol use. Study three used machine learning techniques, specifically least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso) and elastic net, for variable selection to determine characteristics associated with increased stimulant use and whether these factors differed in relation to HIV status. This dissertation demonstrated that the factors surrounding stimulant use and HIV/STI transmission dynamics are both nuanced and complex. Our findings reinforced the known associations between syndemic health conditions, such as depression, unstable housing, polysubstance use, and transactional sex, with stimulant use and sexual risk behaviors. However, our results highlight that the factors and contexts surrounding stimulant use and sexual risk behaviors likely differ between MSM subpopulations. For example, Black/Latinx MSM who engaged in stimulant use were more likely to experience syndemic health conditions (e.g., STIs, depressive symptoms) than their Black/Latinx counterparts who did not engage in sexualized stimulant use. Similar differences in stimulant use patterns were observed based on HIV status. Among MSM living with HIV, increased stimulant use correlated highly with reported co-substance use whereas sexual risk behaviors and sexual partnership contexts were correlated with increased stimulant use among HIV-negative MSM. This dissertation demonstrates that the contexts and factors which contribute to stimulant use patterns likely differ between MSM subpopulations and suggest that these differences should be accounted for in the design of HIV prevention and treatment interventions.

Book Synopsis Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Men who Have Sex with Men by : Heather Alisa Pines
Download or read book Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Men who Have Sex with Men written by Heather Alisa Pines and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent clinical trial results suggest that new HIV prevention interventions, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis and treatment as prevention, protect against HIV infection. However, several barriers to widespread implementation of these interventions have been identified. In response to some of these challenges, many argue that new HIV prevention interventions should only be delivered to high-risk populations within integrated HIV prevention programs that consist of biomedical, behavioral, and structural interventions. In the United States, men who have sex with men (MSM) remain the most heavily HIV affected population, and thus will likely be the target of such programs. This dissertation aims to inform the development of MSM-specific HIV prevention programs by providing a better understanding of the situations in which new prevention strategies could have the greatest impact within this population. More specifically, this dissertation examines longitudinal patterns of sexual risk behavior, socio-demographic and behavioral factors associated with partnership type and serostatus, and individual-level and sexual event-level predictors of condom use during receptive anal intercourse among MSM. Chapter 2 is based on data from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) and demonstrates that HIV-negative MSM exhibit distinct sexual risk trajectories and that those following a high risk trajectory exhibit "seasons of risk" over time. Chapter 3 also uses data from the MACS to show that the reported number of male sexual partners is associated with partnership type and serostatus and that the magnitude and direction of this relationship differs by HIV status. Chapter 4 is based on longitudinal data from a cohort of racially/ethnically diverse HIV-negative MSM followed for one year in Los Angeles, and demonstrates that the effect of methamphetamine use on condom use during receptive anal intercourse at the sexual event-level is greatest in the context of non-main partnerships. Findings from this dissertation expand the current understanding of risk behaviors among MSM, and have implications for the development of integrated HIV prevention programs for MSM in the United States.
