“…As a group, 48% of Latinos in LAC have less than a high-school education; have the lowest median household income and the highest poverty rate (US Bureau of the Census, 2007). The research on cultural factors regarding knowledge and perceptions toward sexuality and HIV/AIDS among persons of Mexican origin reveals strong traditional gender role beliefs, discomfort with discussions of sexuality, homophobic attitudes, and stigmatization of HIV and men who have sex with men (MSM; Diaz, 1998;Diaz, Ayala, Bein, Henne, & Marin, 2001;Kendall, Herrera, Caballero, & Campero, 2007;Marin, 1997;Marin, Gomey, Tschann, & Gregerich, 2003). In addition, many Latinos of Mexican origin do not perceive themselves to be at risk for HIV with many reporting minimal knowledge and numerous misconceptions about modes of HIV transmission (Espinoza et al, 2008;Levy et al, 2007;London & Driscoll, 1999;Lopez-Quintero et al, 2005;Miller, 2000).…”

Factors associated with late HIV testing for Latinos diagnosed with AIDS in Los Angeles

Latinos are more likely to test late for HIV infection compared to other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. A population-based interview study was used to examine factors associated with late HIV testing for Latinos diagnosed with AIDS in Los Angeles County (LAC) to develop more effective HIV testing outreach strategies. Latinos testing for HIV within one year of an AIDS diagnosis were considered as late testers, while those diagnosed with AIDS more than one year after an HIV diagnosis were defined as non-late testers. After adjusting for age, education, country of birth, and injection drug use in a logistic regression analysis, completion of the interview in Spanish was the main factor associated with late testing (adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 2.9, 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs): 1.4, 6.0). Latinos testing late for HIV were also more likely to test due to illness (p<0.0001) and less likely to test as part of a clinical screening (p<0.0001). Late testers were more likely to receive their first positive HIV test as a hospital inpatient (p<0.0001) and less likely to test positive at a community health center or public clinic (p=0.05). To accomplish widespread and timely HIV testing for Latinos in LAC, Spanish-language social marketing campaigns are needed and Spanish-speaking patients should be offered HIV testing in all clinical settings.

“…Some of the areas affected are his response to medication and his view on life (Chambers, 2007;Cochran & Mays, 2007;Frankis & Flowers, 2007;Harris, Roberts, & Bandele, 2005;Kendall, Herrera, Caballero, & Campero, 2007;Pathela et al, 2006). However, there is a paucity of research in relation to the partner of HIV-seropositive individuals.…”

Straight Wives of HIV-Positive Husbands Who Contracted the Virus Through Male-to-Male Sexual Contact

This phenomenological study explores the experience of eight monogamous, heterosexual women whose husbands have been diagnosed as HIV positive as a result of male-to-male sexual contact. The women were not aware of the sexual orientation of their husbands nor that they had engaged in extramarital relations. The ramifications of the revelations of both the sexual orientation and the HIV status on the women are the thrust of the research. A semi-structured interview was used to elicit rich descriptions of the marriages in which the participants lived, both before and after their husbands either revealed their homosexuality or were diagnosed as HIV positive. Themes revealed included the wives' anger, betrayal/disillusionment, self-esteem, isolation, denial, and self-blame. Dealing with these and the dual disclosure led to various resolutions. This study provides information that can lead to more effective therapy with this population and raises public issues regarding privacy of HIV-positive husbands and protecting the health of their wives.

“…Using words to mean their connotations but not their denotation can lead to words becoming meaningless, or changing in their denotation if accepted by enough language users. The changed denotation of 'straight' to mean a masculine man who does not identify with 'gay culture', does identify with normative 'straight' culture, and just wants to have unencumbered sex with men (without defining himself in relation to that) is accepted by some MSM (Carrillo & Fontdevila, 2014;Kendall, Herrera, Caballero, & Campero, 2007;Murray, 2000;Silva, 2015;Ward, 2015), many of whom also have (and desire) sex with women (and thus are MSMW). But incongruent selfidentification (Bruinius, 2015;Kroeger, 2003) can be questioned if made public.…”

White heterosexual male (n = 93) and female (n = 210) American college students read one of six scenarios about an ordinary man named John who has sex with men. In the scenarios, John's SOI and SPI were manipulated, in that he considers himself gay, straight or not gay, and thinks of himself as either a top or a bottom. Participants rated their attitudes towards John's psychology, social character, HIV vulnerability and status as gay. Men were less interested in being friends with John and found him less interesting than women did, and agreed more that, if they were John, they would think of themselves as gay. Participants agreed for all SOIs that, if they were John, they would think of themselves as gay, though they agreed more strongly when John's SOI was gay than otherwise. Compared to their ratings for gay John, participants rated straight and not gay John as more conflicted about his sexuality, in need of counselling, irresponsible and unpredictable. John's SPI had almost no influence on any attitudes towards John. Findings suggest that, if MSM identify themselves as straight or not gay, people not only think that they are gay, but also experience them as more psychologically unhealthy than if they identify themselves as gay. These attitudes suggest that, because people commonly use SOIs to make predictions about sexual orientation, incongruence between a man's SOIs and his sexual orientation implicates psychological difficulties.
