The study aimed to quantify the level of othering and explore the process of LGBT othering in Rwanda.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted a sequential cross-sectional mixed-methods study of LGBT lived experiences in Rwanda. We recruited 499 participants to complete the LGBT-specific survey and 1254 for the non-LGBT survey. We conducted 16 in-depth interviews (IDIs) with non-LGBT participants. For LGBT participants, we completed six focus groups with 59 participants, six in-depth interviews, and three digital storytelling interviews. For the quantitative surveys, we conducted multivariable linear regressions and reported beta coefficients and 95% confidence interval estimates examining LGBT discrimination (LGBT survey) and attitudes toward LGBT (non-LGBT survey). We used deductive and inductive thematic and narrative analysis to analyze the qualitative data.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In adjusted analyses of the non-LGBT survey, as compared to those who knew zero LGBT persons, persons who knew more than five had lower negative attitude scores (β =  - 1.3, 95% CI - 2.2, - 0.5), while the score was lower for those that knew one to five (- 0.2), it was not significant (95% CI - 0.8, 0.5). In the LGBT survey, adjusted analyses indicated that there was no significant difference found in discrimination between bisexual, gay, or lesbian participants. However, as compared to cisgender participants, transgender participants had discrimination scores that were 2.1 points higher (95% CI 1.1, 3.0), and gender non-confirming individuals had scores that were one point higher (95% CI 0.2, 1.9). The qualitative findings showcased how societal \"othering\" occurs in the everyday life of LGBT Rwandans, with large ramifications in creating feelings of isolation and hampering one's capacity to live authentically and with dignity.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings from our study indicate a high level of othering of the LGBT community across multiple domains, including housing, employment, healthcare, education, religion, and family within Rwanda.</p><p><strong>Policy implications: </strong>The findings highlight the importance of social education campaigns about LGBT people, particularly among vital societal role-holders, including healthcare providers and educators.

Less is known about the drug use characteristics and their association with HIV/STI risk among MSM in Mexico, who have 13 times higher risk of acquiring HIV than the general population. We characterized distinct classes of drug use behaviors among a nationwide sample of MSM in Mexico and tested their associations with HIV risk behaviors.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We used latent class analysis (LCA) to analyze injection/non-injection drug use data collected by the online <i>Encuesta de Sexo Entre Hombres</i> self-administered survey among 15,875 MSM living in Mexico between May-June 2017. MSM were recruited on general social media sites (e.g. Facebook and Twitter), popular LGBT + focused web pages (e.g. Soy Homosensual and Desastre), and dating apps (e.g. Grindr and Hornet). We used robust Poisson regression to examine associations between drug use classes and recent sexual risk behaviors while adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Most participants were under 30 years of age (65.5%), received a Bachelor's degree or higher (65.2%), gay-identified (82.5%), HIV negative (58.1%), and lived in the Mexico City/State of Mexico region (34.5%). We identified five distinct drug use classes: Limited Drug Use (75.4%), Marijuana Only (15.1%), Sex Event Popper + Marijuana (4.3%), Club Drug + Marijuana (4.2%), and Elevated Polydrug Use (1.0%). Compared to the Limited Drug Use class, participants in all other drug use classes were significantly more likely to engage in condomless anal intercourse (aPR = 1.14-1.39; p < 0.001), sex exchange (aPR = 1.37-4.99; p < 0.001), anonymous sex (aPR = 1.22-2.01; p < 0.001), group sex (aPR = 1.50-3.28; p < 0.001), and report an STI diagnosis in the past 12 months (aPR = 1.24-2.20; p < 0.002). Estimates were largest among the Elevated Polydrug Use class.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study is the first to characterize drug use behaviors and HIV/STI risk among a national sample of MSM in Mexico.
