Little is known about how cisgender women living with HIV in Australia perceive HIV cure research, their level of trust in research institutions/staff, and factors salient to participation in HIV cure trials. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women living with HIV and clinicians working with women living with HIV to investigate motivations and barriers to gender-equitable representation in HIV clinical research. Participant motivations for participation included altruistic desires to benefit younger women, and to optimise resulting interventions. Women living with HIV expressed optimism that a cure would dispel HIV-related stigma and brings about substantial material improvement to their lives. Reluctance to participate related to concerns regarding potential side-effects, antiretroviral treatment interruption, and impacts on fertility. Unfamiliarity with trials, confidentiality concerns and logistical difficulties were also cited. Lastly, onerous eligibility criteria, clinicians' assumptions about women's willingness and ability to meaningfully provide consent to participation were cited as barriers which could be addressed. Bolstering women's participation in HIV cure research requires consideration of factors relating to reproductive health, analytical treatment interruption, and recruitment. Engaging women living with HIV in trial design and promotion may help overcome these issues.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1097-1113"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142343133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted interviews with eleven women (from eleven different countries) who accessed a self-managed medication abortion through online telemedicine between 2014 and 2018 in a legally restricted country. We analysed interviews thematically. Three key themes were developed: (1) access to abortion positively impacted life plans; (2) the negative influence of the legally restricted environment wore off and their well-being improved; (3) participants are now using their own experiences to help others by either sharing information or facilitating access to abortion. In summary, our findings highlight the positive impact of access to self-managed medication abortion and underline the importance of ensuring access to abortion for everyone.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1085-1096"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142343136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article draws on clinical guidelines on abortion care to analyse three features of the medical consultation: counselling, contraceptive counselling, and dating ultrasounds. Reading clinical guidelines as a means by which the state attempts to enrol medical professionals into systems of governance, it argues that the medical consultation is a site at which abortion seekers are incited to think, feel and act according to norms of gender that naturalise parenthood and birth for pregnant people as well as the biopolitical aim to increase the use of contraception to reduce abortions. Norms of the medical consultation are productive of abortion exceptionalism and decentre the needs, authority and embodied experiences of abortion seekers. After unpacking how these norms circulate in clinical guidelines on abortion care, this article turns briefly to an alternative model of care developed in self-managed abortion activist scholarship. This model underlines the regulatory norms currently embedded within medical consultations while also providing a pathway through which they can be reconfigured to better centre and support abortion seekers.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1210-1225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144062568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This includes children with intersex traits undergoing 'normalisation' surgeries and those with anatomically normative genitalia, such as female genital cutting or male circumcision. While most research on non-therapeutic childhood penile circumcision centres on the physical risks and benefits, far less attention has been given to the potential long-term mental health impacts, particularly from a psychotherapeutic perspective. This article adds to the existing literature by amplifying the voices of individuals who feel silenced. It presents a qualitative analysis of five interviews with men who believe their childhood circumcision negatively impacted their mental health. The analysis identifies three super-ordinate themes, highlighting the need for grief and trauma work to process unresolved psychological distress. However, the study acknowledges that these experiences may not reflect those of the broader circumcised population. Finally, the research underscores the importance of counselling professionals being adequately informed to support individuals reporting circumcision-related mental health challenges, and offers recommendations for effective therapeutic interventions aligned with existing theories of grief, trauma, and attachment.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":"27 9","pages":"1195-1209"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144905681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While queer scholarship has problematised linear models of kinship and reproductive temporality, the specific temporalities associated with donor-conceived families have received less scholarly attention, despite the increasing prevalence of these family structures. In this article, we explore the question: how does donor conception reconfigure temporal logics. More specifically, we ask how does donor conception challenge (hetero)normative temporalities and kinship organisations. We examine donor conception through narratives of the embodied and intimate experiences of key stakeholders in the form of clinical staff, parents and donor-conceived adults, across case studies conducted in Denmark, Sweden and Australia. Our analysis illuminates distinct temporal perspectives: for clinic staff, donors exist in a static present; for recipient parents, the donor's past is integrated into the present; and for donor-conceived adults, the donor is embedded within fragile futurities. We propose the concept of sideways temporalities to capture the queering of temporal logics in donor conception, characterised by non-normative scale (e.g. extensive sibling networks) and velocity (e.g. immediate matching via DNA testing).","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1179-1194"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142977918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis led to the identification of eight domains: identity formation; barriers to understanding identity; evolution of label; adoption of label, avoidance of label; coming out process; barriers to coming out; and reactions to coming out. Self-defining moments such as adopting an affirming identity label, disclosing that identity to others, and beginning to initiate non-heterosexual relationships, formed the basis of these domains. Overall, we found that participants described some experiences identified in previous literature. However, we also analysed new information which indicates that the coming out process is lengthy, heavily dependent on context, and problematic issues may arise throughout a lifetime.

Guided by the systemic transactional model and interdependence theory, we examined the mediating role of 'we-ness' between dyadic coping and HIV-specific support among Chinese serodiscordant male couples, and how cultural interdependence shapes this we-ness. We employed a mixed-methods design which included a cross-sectional survey of 234 couples and qualitative interviews with 20 couples. Using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model, our quantitative analysis found that (1) both positive and negative dyadic coping had significant actor effects but nonsignificant partner effects on HIV-specific support, and (2) we-ness mediated both dyadic coping strategies and HIV-specific support, with significant actor-actor effects and partner-actor effects. Our qualitative inquiry identified that we-ness is fundamentally shaped by couples' negotiated pattern of interdependence, characterised by selective independence in HIV care alongside interdependence in HIV prevention. Our findings advance theoretical understanding by demonstrating we-ness as a critical mediating mechanism and reveal how couples' negotiated interdependence extends beyond the traditional continuum between dependence and independence. Findings suggest the need for culturally embedded interventions that recognise couples' shared we-ness and strategic negotiation in HIV management.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1129-1146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142709375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This calls for the exploration of network- and neighbourhood-level determinants of HIV vulnerabilities. Research highlights how Black young men who have sex with men are more likely to reside in low-resource neighbourhoods, to be affiliated with a broader range of neighbourhoods, and to be embedded in densely connected, racially homophilous sexual networks. Using a risk environments framework, this study examines how structural factors (such as racial segregation, resource inequality, poverty, community violence, and racist policing) influence the neighbourhood characteristics affecting Black, Latino, and White young men who have sex with men in Chicago. In turn, neighbourhood-level factors may drive racial disparities in HIV by influencing the consequences of individual risk behaviours. This study suggests that addressing these disparities by targeting the structural factors that shape risk environments is important in reducing HIV-related risk. It contributes to a growing body of work calling for multilevel, equity-focused approaches to HIV prevention among young men who have sex with men in the USA.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144945888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
