Abstract

Abstract This study tested how an STI diagnosis influences perceptions of hypothetical romantic/sexual partners. In an online experiment, participants (n = 189) were randomly assigned to one of five vignette conditions, which varied in how a potential partner’s STI status was described. HSV or HIV-positive status (with treatment) decreased the likelihood that participants would have sex or a relationship with the target. However, LGBTQ participants were less likely to consider an STI diagnosis a deal-breaker relative to cisgender, heterosexual participants. Results highlight a need for accurate sex education content about living with treatable but incurable STIs.

性传播感染和污名化:性传播感染诊断和性/性别少数认同对潜在伴侣感知的影响

摘要:本研究测试了性传播感染诊断如何影响假想的浪漫/性伴侣的看法。在一项在线实验中，参与者(n = 189)被随机分配到五个小场景中的一个，这些小场景在描述潜在伴侣的性传播感染状况方面有所不同。HSV或hiv阳性状态(经过治疗)降低了参与者发生性行为或与目标发生关系的可能性。然而，与异性恋参与者相比，LGBTQ参与者不太可能认为性传播感染诊断会破坏交易。研究结果强调，需要对可治疗但无法治愈的性传播感染患者进行准确的性教育。
