Discriminatory policies, medical mistrust, stigma and a lack of resources remain key roadblocks. Citizen-led, community-engaged approaches hold promise in subverting power structures that reproduce such barriers and allow us to leverage community resources. Discussion We draw on our experience of a collaborative research project between the National University of Singapore and RainbowAsia, a community-based organization addressing the needs of young gay, bisexual and queer men in Singapore. The study focused on stigma, resilience, relationships, sexual partnerships and mental health among Singaporean gay, bisexual and queer men, and commenced in June 2022. Despite being a high-income country, research funding for HIV key populations in Singapore remains sparse, as local funders prioritize less politically sensitive topics while international funders rightfully focus funding on resource limited settings. A citizen-led approach was therefore implemented out of necessity and a desire by community members to translate research into evidence-based programs. We propose a citizen science framework comprising eight key phases, including: (1) developing a research and implementation pipeline, (2) stakeholder and resource mapping, (3) delegation of expertise, (4) creating plans for equity, (5) developing a research plan, (6) generating evidence, (7) dissemination and translation, and (8) plans for sustainability and impact. Cross-cutting processes across all phases include the adoption of deliberative democratic processes, training and mentorship, and (re)negotiation of power and recognition for all stakeholders. A total of 44 in-depth interviews were completed, transcribed, and analyzed by a core research team and 26 volunteer research assistants. The entire study required crowdfunding USD1600.00 for participant reimbursements, but otherwise leveraged academic, community and citizen resources to accomplish the study's outputs. Conclusions Our case study illustrates a microcosm of how research evidence can be generated, disseminated, and translated by citizens and communities into evidence-based programs at the community level. Our framework aligns itself with stakeholder engagement principles, and can provide a roadmap for sustainable collaborative research between academic, community and citizen stakeholders.</p>","PeriodicalId":22165,"journal":{"name":"Sexual health","volume":"22 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144048897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These 27 clinics offered a median of 35 (IQR: 20-60) bookings each day, but only a median of 10 (IQR: 2-15) walk-in consultations for symptomatic patients. The average proportion of days that clinics were able to see all patients who presented with symptoms was 70.1% (95% CI 55.4, 84.9) during summer versus 75.4% (95% CI 62.2, 88.5) during winter.

Three common STIs in populations of gay and bisexual men are chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis. Methods We examined the incidence of these three infections in 343 male HIV-serodiscordant couples in Australia, Brazil and Thailand. The couples participated in a prospective, observational cohort study that included regular STI testing and behavioural surveys for HIV-negative partners (HNP). Results HIV-positive partners (HPP; IR=22.9/100person-years, 95% CI: 19.3-27.0) had a higher incidence rate of any STI (22.9/100person-years, 95% CI: 19.3-27.0) compared with HNP (14.9/100person-years, 95% CI: 12.1-18.3). It was more common for only the HPP (n =107/343, 7.1%) or only the HNP (n =60, 4.0%) to have an STI than for both to have an STI (n =29/343, 1.9%). Higher STI incidence was associated with vocational education (HNP: aHR=2.19, P =0.005), full-time employment (HPP: aHR=1.61, P =0.016), living in Brazil (HPP: aHR=1.85, P =0.017) or Thailand (HPP: aHR=1.98, P =0.008), having anal sex with other partners (HNP: aHR=2.42, P =0.003; HPP: aHR=2.87, P P =0.044).

The Cairns Sexual Health Service has been offering medical termination of pregnancy (MToP) for 18years, and this has become part of the public healthcare system in an outpatient setting. Methods A retrospective audit of MToP conducted between 2019 and 2023 was undertaken to follow up on an earlier audit covering 2011-2015, before the decriminalisation of MToP. Results Within the 5years from 2019 to 2023, a total of 3060 clients were seen in Cairns Sexual Health Service for either a MToP or referral for an inpatient MToP or surgical termination of pregnancy. A total of 1956 had a MToP at Cairns Sexual Health Service during 2019 and 2023, compared with 1712 completed within the 5-year period from 2011 to 2015. A total of 28 were referred for an inpatient MToP, and 1076 were referred for a surgical termination of pregnancy. With ongoing improvements in clinical delivery, unsuccessful outcomes after an MToP have reduced from 0.9% between 2011 and 2015 to 0.5% in 2019 and 2023. Conclusion Since its decriminalisation, there has been a consistent and strong community demand for the service. Abortion care is an essential component of healthcare, and all pregnant people have the right to equitable MToP services within primary healthcare settings.

Although significant evidence supports the efficacy of NBT services to identify, diagnose and link to care partners and other contacts of people with HIV, there has been less direct research about NBT for viral hepatitis or STIs, or for providing prevention services to partners.

Integrating NBT service delivery to achieve testing, treatment and/or prevention for multiple infections may be efficient, and this might include dual or multiplex testing for different populations. Self-testing or self-sampling for partners may overcome barriers to testing. Providing partners who test negative with prevention options, including PrEP or hepatitis B vaccination where appropriate, might be a powerful way to expand prevention efforts for multiple pathogens.

The survey assessed provider knowledge and practices regarding EPT and preference of future education.

The module contained pre- and post-module surveys evaluating participant knowledge of the legal status, methods of prescription, and attitudes surrounding EPT.
