“…In a baseline assessment of an randomised controlled trial evaluating efficacy of a safer sex intervention, 31% of 138 GBMSM who reported having sex in the past six months "disclosed to less than 100% of all sex partners" (Przybyla et al, 2012) Among 991 young GBMSM ( < 25 years) attending for HIV care, 53.1% "did not disclose to a current sex/romantic partner who was not a boyfriend" (Cook et al, 2015) Among 250 MSM enrolled in a disclosure intervention, 28% of sexual encounters involved the participant "not disclosing at or before the specific sexual encounter" (Serovich et al, 2018). Evidence from the UK remains limited, with a cross-sectional questionnaire study of HIV-outpatients in Dublin's largest HIV clinic (2012) reporting that 34% of 97 GBMSM "never disclosed to any of their casual partners in the last 6 months" (Murphy, Hevey, O'Dea, Ní Rathaille, & Mulcahy, 2015). In our study, 44% of GBMSM were classified as having lower sexual disclosure, a proxy for non-disclosure to new sex partners.…”

2020):Attitudes to disclosure of HIV-serostatus to new sexual partners and sexual behaviours among HIV-diagnosed gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in the UK, AIDS Care, ABSTRACT We assessed attitudes to disclosure to new sexual partners and association with sexual behaviours among HIV-diagnosed gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the UK Antiretrovirals, Sexual Transmission Risk and Attitudes (ASTRA) study in 2011-12. Among 1373 GBMSM diagnosed with HIV for ≥3 months and reporting sex in the past three months (84% on antiretroviral therapy (ART), 75% viral load (VL) ≤50c/mL), 56.3% reported higher sexual disclosure ("agree" or "tend to agree" with "I'd expect to tell a new partner I'm HIV-positive before we have sex"). GBMSM on ART with self-reported undetectable VL had lower disclosure than those on ART without self-reported undetectable VL and those not on ART. Higher sexual disclosure was associated with higher prevalence of CLS in the past three months; this was due to its association with CLS with other HIV-positive partners. Higher sexual disclosure was more common among GBMSM who had CLS with other HIV-positive partners only (72.1%) compared to those who had higher-risk CLS with HIV-serodifferent partners (55.6%), other CLS with HIVserodifferent partners (45.9%), or condom-protected sex only (47.6%). Findings suggest mutual HIV-disclosure and HIV-serosorting were occurring in this population. Knowledge of VL status may have impacted on disclosure to sexual partners. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Participants attended a large infectious diseases clinic in Dublin, Ireland. All had taken part in a previous quantitative study, and as part of that study had indicated a willingness to be interviewed, and provided written informed consent (Murphy, Hevey, O’Dea, Ní Rathaille, & Mulcahy, 2014).…”

In this study, we examined how non-infectiousness due to antiretroviral therapy has affected HIV-positive gay men's experience of serostatus disclosure to casual sex partners. Interviews were conducted with 15 seropositive gay men living in Ireland. Using grounded theory, three constructions of non-disclosure were proposed-as self-protection, as a morally permissible act, and as a rejection of the HIV-positive identity. Each construction entailed an aspect related to the sexual exclusion of those living with HIV, and an aspect related to their social exclusion. The extent to which the lives of those interviewed were affected by stigma was starkly revealed, as was the extent to which they stigmatized others living with HIV and rejected the HIV-positive identity. The research highlights the failure to socially normalize HIV and that interventions are needed to reduce the distress associated with seropositivity.

“…Hal ini dikarenakan adanya rasa optimis yang besar sehingga menghalangi suatu individu dalam memahami manfaat dari suatu pengungkapan status HIV, sehingga ODHA tersebut merasa baik-baik saja dan tidak perlu untuk mengungkapkan status HIV-nya. Komunitas yang juga memiliki status HIV positif yang sama dengan status berorientasi seksual yang sama juga dapat memfasilitasi gay dalam menentang efek negatif dari perilaku pengungkapannya (Murphy et al, 2015). Adanya dukungan sebaya diantara pasangan yang berorientasi seksual gay memiliki hubungan yang begitu signifikan terhadap keterbukaan status HIV mereka (Fitriyani & Waluyo, 2019).…”

ABSTRAKTransmisi HIV pada ODHA berorientasi seksual gay secara global semakin meningkat dan paling tinggi dibandingkan dengan populasi lainnya, terutama di Indonesia yang sudah sangat mengkhawatirkan. Tidak dapat dibantah bahwa tindakan seksual pada kelompok beresiko tinggi di komunitas homoseksual akan berkontribusi penting pada penularan HIV & AIDS. Keterbukaan diri ODHA berorientasi seksual gay kepada pasangannya memiliki peranan penting dalam memutus rantai transmisi HIV diantara ODHA LSL. Tujuan studi ini untuk memberikan gambaran dan mengidentifikasi pentingnya keterbukaan diri ODHA terhadap pasangannya serta faktor yang mempengaruhinya serta mengidentifikasi bagaimana self-esteem ODHA mempengaruhi keterbukaan diri ODHA kepada pasangannya. Teknik pengumpulan data pada metode penulisan artikel ini dilakukan melalui studi pustaka berupa tinjauan artikel melalui jurnal dan artikel yang membahas terkait gambaran kasus penularan HIV dan AIDS yang terjadi pada homoseksual, faktor yang mempengaruhi keterbukaan ODHA LSL dan bagaimana self-esteem ODHA LSL dapat memengaruhi keterbukaan status dirinya kepada orang pasangan dan sekitarnya. Hasil tinjauan literatur menunjukkan bahwa keterbukaan status ODHA seseorang kepada orang lain atas privasinya dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor, terlebih ketika hal tersebut dapat mempengaruhi hubungan antara dirinya dengan yang lain. Keterbukaan status diri ODHA kepada pasangannya sangatlah penting dan krusial baik bagi kesehatan pasangannya serta hubungan yang mereka jalani. Walaupun sulit untuk dilakukan, terbuka kepada pasangan atas kondisi kesehatan seksual haruslah dilakukan, terutama bagi orang-orang dengan orientasi seksual gay. Penting juga untuk diingat bahwa mengetahui status kesehatan seksual pasangan adalah hak seseorang yang harus dipenuhi. ABSTRACTHIV transmission in gay sexually oriented HIV globally is terrace and extreme between with other populations, specifically in Indonesia is already very concerned. It is undeniable that sexual behavior in the high-risk group of the homosexual community contributes to significant transmission of HIV and AIDS. Openness of HIV status is an key role in cut of the link of HIV transmission between HIV. The purport of this research is to present the view and identify the importance of openness of HIV to their partner and the factors that affect it and identify how self-esteem affects self-disclosure to their partner. Data collection techniques in this method of writing this article via a literature study within of review of articles through journals and articles that discuss the picture of cases of HIV and AIDS transmission that occur in homosexuals, factors that affect the openness of ODHA LSL and how self-esteem of ODHA LSL can affect the openness of its status to couples and their surroundings. The results of the literature review showed that the openness of a person's HIV status to others over his privacy is influenced by many factors, especially when it can affect the relationship between himself and others. The openness of ODHA's self-status to his partner is very important and crucial both for the health of his partner and the relationship they live. Although difficult to do, being open to couples over sexual health conditions should be done, especially for people with gay sexual orientation. It is also important to remember that knowing a partner's sexual health status is a person's right that must be fulfilled.
