“…Self-ascribed masculinity was measured with a 4-item scale adapted from Garcia et al (2012); (sample item: “I can pass as a straight man”). Participants responded to each statement using 5-point Likert response options from strongly disagree to strongly agree (score range from 4 to 20, Cronbach’s alpha=0.83).…”

Black men who have sex with men (MSM) carry a disproportionate burden of HIV in the United States. Such disparities cannot be attributed to individual behavioral risk factors alone, prompting the exploration of social and contextual factors experienced by minority MSM. Societal homonegativity and the internalization of those attitudes by Black MSM may play an important role in understanding racial and ethnic disparities in HIV incidence and prevalence. This study explores the correlates of internalized homonegativity in a large multi-site sample of Black MSM. Findings reveal a number of significant contextual and psychosocial factors related to internalized homonegativity including religiosity, resilience, and gay community acculturation, which have important implications for HIV risk, HIV testing, and social and psychological wellbeing for Black MSM.

“…HIV disclosure proportion varies depending on the targets (Zea et al 2005; Calin et al 2007; García et al 2012). Some studies found that individuals preferred to disclose HIV positive serostatus to their main sexual partners and family members (Mayfield et al 2008; Li et al 2007).…”

This study addressed the issue of disclosing HIV status and sexual orientation, and explored the consequences of such disclosures among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. In-depth individual interviews were conducted with 37 HIV-positive MSM. Of these participants, 3 (8.1 %) disclosed neither their HIV status nor their sexual orientation to anyone; 24 (64.9 %) voluntarily disclosed both their HIV-positive status and their sexual orientation; 7 (18.9 %) voluntarily disclosed their HIV status only, and 3 (8.1 %) involuntarily disclosed their HIV status and sexual orientation. Parents, partners, siblings and close friends were the most common disclosure targets. HIV-positive MSM were less likely to disclose their sexual orientation than their HIV status. The positive consequences of disclosure included receiving support, acquiring family care, reducing stress, improving mood and developing more positive values and beliefs. The negative consequences included the participants’ perception of rejection and stigma toward themselves and their families. However, the stigma mainly comes from “outsiders” rather than family members and close friends. We did not find any differences with respect to consequences between participants who disclosed their HIV status only and those who disclosed both their HIV status and sexual orientation. In conclusion, partners, siblings and friends were main disclosure targets, and HIV positive MSM preferred to disclose their HIV serostatus than their sexual orientation. Voluntarily disclosing one’s HIV status to significant others resulted in more positive consequences than negative consequences. Theses results were informative for developing mental health and coping interventions.

“…Previous studies of HIV/STI testing and disclosure among U.S. MSM support social cognitive theory. Routine testing and disclosure is more likely to occur when there is less social stigma related to sexual orientation 5,10–12 or living with HIV, 13 greater involvement with the gay community, 14 more satisfaction with social support, 15 and having a healthcare provider willing to have open, nonjudgmental discussions about same-gender sexual behavior. 16–18 Whether similar variables are correlated with HIV/STI testing and disclosure among collegiate MSM is unclear.…”

Objective Determine the extent to which personal, behavioral, and environmental factors are associated with HIV/STI testing and disclosure. Participants 930 HIV-negative collegiate men who have sex with men (MSM) who completed an online survey about alcohol use and sexual behavior. Methods Correlates of testing and disclosure significant in bivariate analyses (p<0.05) were grouped into personal, behavioral, or environmental factors and entered into multivariable logistic regression models. Results About half of participants tested for HIV (51.9%) and for STIs (45.8%) at least annually. Over half (57.8%) of participants always/almost always discussed HIV status with new sex partners; 61.1% with new unprotected sex partners. Personal and behavioral factors (age and outness) explained differences in testing, and the behavioral factor (routine testing) explained differences in disclosure. Conclusions Collegiate MSM should be supported in coming out, encouraged to engage in routine testing, and counseled on discussing HIV/STI status with potential sex partners.
