Abstract

For many Black/African American gay, bisexual, and other young men who have sex with men (B-GBMSM), the House/Ball Community (HBC) offers a social network where they can be free to express diverse sexual and gender identities, but HIV prevalence and stigma are high. The POSSE project is an effectiveness-implementation trial of a popular opinion leader intervention designed to address HIV prevention in the Chicago and Philadelphia HBCs. In June 2016 baseline behavioral data were collected along with HIV, gonorrhea and Chlamydia testing. Eligible participants were sexually-active YMSM or transgender women (TGW), between the ages of 15-24, who self-identified as Black. One-third participants (32.5%) met or exceeded the clinical cut-off for depressive symptoms. Approximately 18% of the participants across both cities reported that they were HIV-positive. Overall, the baseline data establishes the need for HIV and STI prevention interventions across both cities, as well as interventions to address other co-occurring epidemics.

参与HIV预防研究的两个不同的House Ball社区的比较:来自POSSE项目的基线数据。
对于许多黑人/非裔美国男同性恋者、双性恋者和其他与男性发生性关系的年轻男性(B-GBMSM)来说,House/Ball社区(HBC)提供了一个社交网络,他们可以自由地表达不同的性和性别身份,但艾滋病毒的患病率和污名很高。POSSE项目是一项旨在解决芝加哥和费城负担沉重地区艾滋病预防问题的民意领袖干预的有效性实施试验。2016年6月,基线行为数据与艾滋病毒、淋病和衣原体检测一起收集。符合条件的参与者是性活跃的YMSM或变性女性(TGW),年龄在15-24岁之间,自认为是黑人。三分之一的参与者(32.5%)达到或超过了抑郁症状的临床临界值。两个城市中大约18%的参与者报告说他们是艾滋病毒阳性。总体而言,基线数据确定了这两个城市需要采取预防艾滋病毒和性传播感染的干预措施,以及采取措施应对其他同时发生的流行病。
