“…Black queer individuals experience oppression and hate as a result of being excluded from a multitude of social environments and communities (Hailey et al, 2020; Jackson et al, 2020; Mosley et al, 2019). This exclusion often occurs in conjunction with racialized and sexuality-based microaggressions, objectification, intimidation, and violence (Beymer et al, 2017; Hailey et al, 2020; Meyer et al, 2008). Black queer individuals face familial and/or peer rejection (Halkitis et al, 2013; Katz-Wise & Hyde, 2012), negative religious experiences (Garrett-Walker & Torres, 2017), and high rates of physical, emotional, and sexual violence (Hightow-Weidman et al, 2011; Reilly et al, 2016; Wirtz et al, 2018).…”

The revised guidelines for working with sexual minority populations encourage psychologists to recognize and intentionally consider the personal, interpersonal, and institutional stressors and resiliencies in queer individuals and communities (American Psychological Association [APA], 2021). Yet without an understanding of how queer folx describe the experience and impact of identity-based oppression and hate, as well as justice and liberation, psychologists may struggle to apply the guidelines. The qualitative research studies conducted in the decade since the last guidelines (APA, 2012) were released provide a wealth of information about how Black queer people describe oppression and liberation. Thus, the current qualitative metasynthesis provides an analysis of the qualitative studies that focus on Black queer people and their experiences of oppression and hate, as well as justice and liberation (N = 106). Thematic analysis was utilized within the metasynthesis. Four major themes were uncovered: (a) the omnipresence of oppression and hate at the collective level, (b) absence of safety at the relational level, (c) pain and possibilities in the cycle of HIV stigma for Black queer men, and (d) self-acceptance and social support. The findings are discussed in light of extant scholarship, and a discussion and table of implications are provided for psychologists seeking to be accountable to the thematic findings in their practice.

“…From prior literature, we know these variables have been shown to be meaningful indicators of HIV risk both in the population as a whole and among MSM specifically. 11,22,23,37,40,41,48,49 As such, the predictors that were not significant in our models should be interpreted as factors that we recognize as clinically relevant indicators of HIV risk, but not as the best statistical indicators among the YBMSM in our samples.…”

“…Consistent with prior research, we also included several behavioral factors associated with HIV risk. 40–43 Number of sex partners was measured with a six-month time frame in the Chicago study and a three-month time frame in the Los Angeles assessment. To calculate comparable values across studies, we halved the number of partners reported by Chicago respondents.…”

Developing targeted HIV risk predictors for young black men who have sex with men: a two-city comparative study

et al. 2020

HIV burden in the United States is geographically and demographically heterogeneous. While efforts over the last few decades have reduced HIV incidence, young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) account for a significant portion of new HIV diagnoses compared to any other race and age group. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has allocated funding to help reduce HIV in the YBMSM community; however, their recommended screening/treatment criteria do not emphasize demographic specificity. To better guide more applicable screening guidelines specifically for YBMSM, we examine demographic, behavioral, sexual network, and biological predictors of HIV status among YBMSM in two demographically distinct cities with high HIV burden in the United States: Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA. We perform multivariable logistic regressions to identify predictors of HIV in these populations. We found that having a history of syphilis was the only statistically significant predictor across both cities despite inclusion of other characteristics previously shown to be associated with HIV among YBMSM. Syphilis history could be a powerful HIV risk indicator for YBMSM and, therefore, should be integrated into clinical screening practices for critical biomedical prevention options like HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis.

“…One approach could be to focus on intimate partner violence (IPV, a subset of sexual violence) which has been found to be elevated among gay and bisexual men [22][23][24] and to be associated with patterns of substance use among both victims and perpetrators [22,23]. Experiences of IPVare associated with greater odds of HIV infection [25]. A meta-analysis also showed that IPV was associated with increased risk of substance use and engagement in condomless anal intercourse [22].…”

Correlates of Sexual Coercion among People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) in Los Angeles and San Francisco, CA

et al. 2018

Experiences of coerced or forced sex have been associated with risk for HIV infection for all adults and may be more common for gays, lesbians, bisexuals (GLB) and people who inject drugs (PWID). In this study, we explored factors associated with prior 12-month experiences of forced or coerced sex among a sample of PWID, with a focus on sexual orientation and gender. PWID (N = 772) from Los Angeles and San Francisco were recruited using targeted sampling methods in 2011-2013 and surveyed on a range of items related to demographics, drug use, HIV risk, and violence, including experiences of forced or coerced sex in the prior 12 months. In this racially/ethnically diverse, mostly homeless, and low-income sample of PWID, 25% of participants were female and 15% identified as GLB. Sexual coercion was reported by 9% of gay and bisexual men, 8% of heterosexual females, 5% of lesbians and bisexual women, and less than 1% of heterosexual men. In multivariate analyses, compared to heterosexual males, gay or bisexual males (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 10.68; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.03, 56.23), and heterosexual females (AOR = 9.69; 95% CI = 2.04, 45.94) had increased odds of coerced sex in the prior 12 months. Having a paying sex partner (AOR = 3.49; 95% CI = 1.42, 8.54) or having had forced sex prior to the age of 16 by someone at least five years older (AOR = 4.74; 95% CI = 1.88, 11.93) also elevated the odds of coercive sex. Sexual coercion is common among PWID, but especially for gay and bisexual men and heterosexual females. Efforts to reduce sexual violence among PWID are urgently needed.
