A total of 1675 HIV-negative MSM were recruited from the baseline of a cohort study from 2017 to 2019 through respondent-driven, time-location and internet-based sampling strategies. Stigma was measured by a locally validated instrument, with a higher score indicated a higher level of stigma (from 1 to 4). Enacted stigma (mean = 2.10), perceived stigma (mean = 2.62) and internalized stigma (mean = 2.55) were found. About 25% of participants reported group sex and 6.3% reported drug use before or during group sex in the last 6 months. Enacted stigma was significantly associated with group sex (adjusted OR = 1.48; 95% CI 1.20-1.84) and drug use before or during group sex (adjusted OR = 1.68; 95% CI 1.19-2.36).

We assessed: (1) sexual activity and SV behaviors and (2) personal attitudes and perceived peer norms around gender equity. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and logistic regressions examined associations between attitudes, norms, and SV, adjusting for demographics. Findings reveal that 59% of sexually active adolescents reported perpetrating SV behaviors, though only 8% classified their actions as \"rape\". Adolescents endorsed more gender equitable personal attitudes compared to their perceptions of peers, highlighting a misperception of social norms. Differences in gender equitable attitudes by biological sex and perpetration status were minimal, however, males and those reporting perpetration were more likely to endorse specific inequitable gender attitudes. Number of lifetime sexual partners was significantly associated with SV perpetration, particularly among males. An age-sex interaction revealed opposing trends - older age was associated with reduced odds of SV perpetration among males but increased odds among females. Correcting misperceived norms is a promising strategy for SV prevention among South African adolescents.","PeriodicalId":48370,"journal":{"name":"Aids Care-Psychological and Socio-Medical Aspects of Aids/hiv","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143597891","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}

In most cases, females were more likely than males to test for HIV - regardless of whether laws were confidentiality-promoting. Males were significantly more likely to report HIV testing in states that explicitly allowed minors to consent to HIV testing, did not permit parental notification, or had confidentiality protections for insured dependents.

Effective preventative efforts necessitate an understanding of healthcare utilization trends prior to suicide death for PLWH to facilitate the identification of areas for improvement in screening and prevention. The present study aimed to identify patterns of healthcare utilization in PLWH who died by suicide using a population-based cohort design. Administrative datasets from British Columbia, Canada were analyzed using unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models to assess healthcare utilization in the 90-day period prior to suicide death for 98 PLWH and 170 age- and sex-matched people without HIV (PWoH). PLWH were found to have greater rates of healthcare engagement prior to suicide death, with increased likelihood of any healthcare visit and a greater median count of total healthcare visits compared to controls. Despite this, no significant difference in degree of engagement with mental healthcare and self-harm healthcare services was observed between PLWH and PWoH. These findings suggest that PLWH who die by suicide engage with the healthcare system more than their counterparts without HIV, and point to the importance of differential screening and prevention strategies for PLWH on antiretroviral therapy.","PeriodicalId":48370,"journal":{"name":"Aids Care-Psychological and Socio-Medical Aspects of Aids/hiv","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143568570","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}
