In 2001, the AIDS case rate for Hispanic/Latino men was triple that of white men, and Hispanic/Latino MSM aged 23–29 years have twice the rate of HIV infection of their white peers ( CDC, 2005). In a 2005 study of 5 large US cities, 46% of African American/black MSM were HIV-positive, compared to 21% of white MSM. In fact, since 2001, MSM across all racial and ethnic groups have been the only transmission group with significant increases in HIV diagnosis, and the majority of all new AIDS cases among all MSM are diagnosed in racial/ethnic-minority men ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2001a, 2008a).
A community forum was held to develop recommendations and move these themes to action.Īlthough gay communities in the United States (US) are credited with making major reductions in, and sustaining relatively low levels of, sexual behavior that put them at risk for HIV during the 1980s and into the early 1990s, HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) incidence has been increasing among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the US since the mid-1990s ( Nanin, et al., 2009 Naughton & Rhodes, 2009 Wolitski, Valdiserri, Denning, & Levine, 2001). Twelve themes related to HIV risk emerged, including low HIV and STD knowledge particularly among Latino MSM and MSM who use the Internet for sexual networking stereotyping of African American MSM as sexually “dominant” and Latino MSM as less likely to be HIV infected and the eroticization of “barebacking.” Twelve intervention approaches also were identified, including developing culturally congruent programming using community-identified assets harnessing social media used by informal networks of MSM and promoting protection within the context of intimate relationships. Participants self-identified as African American/Black (n=28), Hispanic/Latino (n=33), white (n=21), and bi-racial/ethnic (n=6). An academic-community partnership conducted nine focus groups with 88 MSM.
This study was designed to explore sexual risk among MSM using community-based participatory research (CBPR). More recently, a director like Céline Sciamma constructed a bracing picture of an intimate female relationship with “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” though looking back at her career, she’s long explored the nuances of female sexuality.įrom the 20th Century up until just this past year with Sweden’s Best International Feature Oscar submission “And Then We Danced,” below is a sampling of some of the best international LGBTQ cinema out there - including alternative entries from popular filmmakers you may have missed.Men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to be disproportionately impacted by HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
