Drawing on qualitative research, this article explores healthcare providers' perspectives on access to HIV-related healthcare services among gender and sexuality diverse men in Tanzania. <b>Methods:</b> A qualitative study was conducted among healthcare workers in Dar es Salaam and Tanga, Tanzania in 2018/2019. Data collection entailed qualitative interviewing, focus group discussions and participant observation. A purposive sampling strategy was used to select study participants who varied with respect to age, education level, work experience, and the type and location of the facilities they worked in. A total of 88 participants took part in the study. <b>Results:</b> This paper describes four different discourses that were identified among healthcare workers with respect to their perception of access to healthcare services for men who have sex with men. One held that access to healthcare was not a major problem, another that some same-sex attracted men did not utilize healthcare services although they were available to them, a third that some healthcare workers prevented these men from gaining access to healthcare and a fourth that healthcare for gender and sexual minority persons was made difficult by structural barriers. <b>Conclusion:</b> Although these are four rather different takes on the prevailing circumstances with respect to healthcare access for same-sex attracted men (SSAM), we suggest that they may all be \"true\" in the sense that they grasp and highlight different aspects of the same realities. More education is needed to healthcare providers to enable them accept SSAM who seek healthcare services and hence improve access to healthcare.</p>","PeriodicalId":17328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/80/c3/10.1177_23259582221121448.PMC9403446.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40713291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given its global impact, it led to a great deal of concern among the approximately 38 million people living with HIV (PWH). Although many governments worked hard to sustain HIV services, often in collaboration with community partners, it soon became clear that PWH faced multiple barriers and challenges to remain engaged in the HIV care continuum. Containment of the global COVID-19 pandemic required that governments implemented multiple strategies, including requirements to shelter-in-place, distancing, and placing restrictions on travel, which may serve as barriers to accessing non-COVID-related healthcare. OnMarch 25, 2020, the government of India announced an initial “lockdown,” due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which restricted movement, social gatherings and economic activity until May 31. This resulted in many citizens returning to their native homes to shelter with their extended families. It is unknown what impact the lockdowns may have had on the ability of PWH to visit ART clinics, obtain prescription refills or adhere to their regimens. Since successfulmanagement of HIV requires excellent adherence and timely prescription refills to avoid treatment interruptions, real or perceived challenges, including HIV stigma and worries about coronavirus infection may have interfered with this effort.","PeriodicalId":17328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44256306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A descriptive study design was deployed. A total of 56 health workers and four service user participants responded to a structured questionnaire (n = 50) or took part in key informant interviews (n = 10) in five high HIV-prevalence provinces. Most participants did not disclose if they were living with HIV, except for four participants who responded to the questionnaire and were selected for being open about living with HIV. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with health workers in key government health facility positions. The questions were standardized and used a Likert scale. Descriptive statistical and thematic analyses were applied to the data. Results show that antiretroviral treatment (ART) has an impact on stigma reduction. Almost half the participants agreed that treatment is reducing levels of HIV stigma. However, fears of exposure of HIV status and labelling and judgemental attitudes persist. No comprehensive stigma reduction policies and guidelines in healthcare facilities were mentioned. Informal flexible systems to deliver HIV services were in place for health workers living with HIV, illustrating how stigma can be quietly navigated. Lack of confidentiality in healthcare facilities plays a role in fuelling disclosure issues and hampering access to testing and treatment. Stigma reduction training needs standardization. Further, codes of conduct for ‘stigma-free healthcare settings’ should be developed.","PeriodicalId":17328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43071969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
