      In a sample of men who have sex with men (MSM) (N = 3436) in Spain who bear intrinsic HIV risk, we investigated how internalised homonegativity (IH) is associated with the number of non-steady male partners with condomless intercourse (as a proxy of sexual risk behaviour). Using structural equation modelling (SEM), we examined the relationship between IH and sexual risk behaviour, and mediating ...

    • Links between transactional sex and HIV/STI-risk and substance use among a large sample of European men who have sex with men

Globally, HIV prevalence is particularly high among males who report selling sex, but rates among men who buy sex from other men are less clear. This study analyzed the association of transactional sex (TS) and HIV diagnosis, sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnoses, ...

    • Structural Stigma and Sexual Minority Men’s Depression and Suicidality:A Multilevel Examination of Mechanisms and Mobility Across 48 Countries 

      Pachankis, John E.; Hatzenbuehler, Mark L.; Branstrom, Richard; Schmidt, Axel J.; Berg, Rigmor C.; Jonas, Kai; Pitonak, Michal; Baros, Sladjana; Weatherburn, Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Sexual minority men are at greater risk of depression and suicidality than heterosexuals. Stigma, the most frequently hypothesized risk factor for this disparity, operates across socioecological levels—structural (e.g., laws), interpersonal (e.g., discrimination), and individual (e.g., self-stigma). Although the literature on stigma and mental health has focused on interpersonal and individual forms ...
