“…Further, Ross et al documented a large amount of condomless sexual intercourse among Ugandan MSM that was significantly associated with IH. Synthesis of the evidence has consistently documented that stigma is a major determinant of HIV vulnerability in SSA [3,30,31]. In addition, a history of forced sex and alcohol consumption were found by Aho et al to be significantly associated with condomless anal sex among MSM in Abidjan, Ivory Coast [32].…”

“…Also, despite evidence suggesting that great strides have been made in HIV prevention among behaviorally heterosexual populations, the rates of HIV continue to increase disproportionately among MSM [55]. For example, in Kenya, the HIV prevalence among the general population ranged from 6.70% in 2003 to 5.60% in 2012 (Kenya AIDS response progress report 2014) while that of MSM was 24.60% during the same period [21,51]. Likewise, whereas the national prevalence of HIV in Zambia was documented at 15.20% among heterosexual adults, it was 33.30% among MSM [56][57][58][59][60][61].…”

Background: In the extremely homophobic conditions in Tanzania and other countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), men who have sex with men (MSM) experience disproportionate amounts of both HIV infection and psychosocial health problems, but no research has been conducted to examine the synergistic or additive effects of these adversities on their experiences. While the predominantly deficit-based research approach has identified various HIV risks and vulnerabilities, any naturally occurring protective and resilience factors that these men naturally employ to these health-related adversities remain undetermined.

“…-2012. godine [2] te da je u porastu u mnogim zemljama svijeta [4][5][6][7][8]. Čak i u nekim oblastima sa generalizovanom epidemijom, MSM mogu imati veću prevalenciju HIV-a nego opšta populacija [9]. MSM često dobiju HIV dok su vrlo mladi: prevalencija HIV-a je oko 4,2% kod mladih MSM (ispod 25 godina) [1].…”

Kratak sadržajUvod. Populacija muškaraca koji imaju seksualne odnose sa muškarcima (MSM) predstavlja posebno osjetljivu grupu za prenos HIV-a i drugih polno prenosivih infekcija.Vulnerabilnost se povećava usljed rizičnog ponašanja, marginalizovanja, stigmatizovanja kao i nedostupnosti zdravstveno-socijalne zaštite. Cilj rada je bio da se procijeni prevalencija HIV-a i odabranih polno prenosivih infekcija te ispitaju znanje, stavovi i ponašanje u odnosu na HIV/ polno prenosive infekcije u MSM populaciji u Bosni i Hercegovini, kao i da se dobijeni rezultati uporede sa istraživanjima iz 2008. i 2010. godine.Metode. Istraživanje je provedeno kao bio-bihejvioralna studija prevalencije u MSM populaciji. Obuhvaćena su ukupno 333 ispitanika, u šest gradova Bosne i Hercegovine. Istraživanje je sprovedeno u periodu septembar -decembar 2012. godine, kroz dobrovoljno, anonimno i povjerljivo anketiranje. Nakon informisanog pristanka i obavljenog savjetovanja, uzet je biološki materijal za laboratorijsko testiranje na HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C i sifilis.Rezultati. Istraživanje je pokazalo prisutnost rizičnog ponašanja u MSM populaciji: multipli partneri (prosječno tri različita slučajna partnera u proteklih mjesec dana), nezaštićeni seksualni odnosi (samo 20% ispitanika redovno koristi kondom sa stalnim partnerom, 37% sa slučajnim partnerom, 4,6% pri oralnom odnosu), seksualni odnosi pod uticajem alkohola (69,6% ispitanika) i droga (26,7% ispitanika) u poslednjih šest mjeseci, seksualni odnosi i sa ženskim osobama (45,5% ). Uprkos prisutnosti rizičnog ponašanja, 14,8% ispitanika smatra da rizik od prenošenja HIV-a ne postoji, a 41,3% da je nizak. Serološka ispitivanja pokazuju i dalje nizak nivo HIV/polno prenosivih infekcija u MSM populaciji u BiH.Zaključak. Iako postoji porast zaštitnog seksualnog ponašanja i učestalije HIV testiranje u odnosu na ranije periode, to nije dovoljno za održavanje niskog nivoa infekcije HIV/polno prenosivih infekcija. Dobijeni podaci pružaju osnovne smjernice za buduća istraživanja i formiranje preventivnih programa.Ključne riječi: prevalencija, HIV, polno prenosive infekcije, muškarci koji imaju seks sa muškarcima
