Abstract

Sex work around the world takes place under conditions of structural violence and vulnerability. The México-U.S. border region is characterized by the presence of factors that increase the risk for health harms among female sex workers (FSW); located in this context, the risk environments of Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez have similar yet distinct characteristics that influence how risk is produced and experienced among FSWs. Exploring the ways in which FSWs enact agency in risk environments can illustrate how environmental characteristics shape perceived risks and the strategies that FSWs develop to manage them. This approach also identifies the limits that are placed by environmental characteristics over the capacity for harm reduction and prevention practices among FSWs. We analyzed the role of agency in the work environments of female sex workers and its relationship with risk perception and management in the cities of Tijuana and Cd. Juárez.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Black MSM engaged in sex work (BMSM-SW) experience elevated HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevalence. Further, BMSM-SW have been shown to have higher rates of syndemic psychosocial health conditions which contribute to HIV risk behavior and incidence, and poorer care outcomes than other groups of men who have sex with men (MSM). However, syndemic perspectives have not been applied to understanding past-year STI burden among BMSM-SW in the U.S. METHODS: Sexually active Black MSM ≥ 18 years old were recruited from Black Pride events in six U.S. cities (n=4421) between 2014–2017. Multivariable logistic regressions assessed correlates of past-year sex work engagement; whether BMSM-SW had higher odds of syndemic conditions; and whether BMSM-SW had higher odds of self-reported, past-year STI diagnoses. Structural equation models assessed relationships between sex work engagement, syndemic conditions, and STI controlled for sociodemographics and number of sexual partners. RESULTS: Two hundred fifty-four (5.7%) Black MSM reported past-year sex work, of whom 45.3% were HIV-positive. BMSM-SW were significantly more likely to be Hispanic, to report past-year bisexual behavior, and to report annual income

Abstract

Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) have the highest HIV incidence rates among all men who have sex with men (MSM) and have been less likely than other MSM to be diagnosed, linked or retained in care for HIV. The Promoting Our Worth, Equality, and Resilience (POWER) study administered a behavioral health survey and HIV test to BMSM to estimate the HIV continuum of care among a community-derived sample. Of the N = 1,680 BMSM living with HIV, n = 956 (56.9%) were aware of their HIV-positive status. BMSM who had been previously diagnosed reported progression through the care continuum at greater than 80% for linkage to medical care (97.6%), retention in medical care (97.3%), prescription of antiretroviral therapy (93.6%) and viral suppression (86.4%). Results of this analysis reveal the urgent need to ensure BMSM are being screened and diagnosed. Additionally, community-driven samples are a promising method offering the opportunity to build on the resilience of BMSM progressing though the continuum as well as engage BMSM not yet in care. Lastly, such methods can assist in communicating with those lost to retention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
