Exploring Stigma, Resilience, and Alternative HIV Preventive Service Delivery Among Young Men who Have Sex with Men of Color.
Clinical nursing research(2023)
摘要
Stigmatization on the basis of race, sexuality, gender identity, and/or use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) exacerbates HIV disparities for young men who have sex with men of color (YMSM). We explored resilience, healthcare experiences, stigma, and impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on PrEP care needs among YMSM of color through virtual in-depth interviews. Analyses used adapted grounded theory/constant comparison. Regarding healthcare-based stigma, participants enacted multilevel resilience which was critical to their care retention during COVID-19 (Themes 1 and 2). Some participants noted that remote care could minimize healthcare stigma and promote retention in care and/or on PrEP (Theme 3). Participants were interested in long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP but expressed concerns about cost, effectiveness, and side effects (Theme 4). Community-based venues like pharmacies were preferred spaces for getting LAI PrEP injections (Theme 4). Although expansion of telehealth that helped mitigate care retention challenges during COVID-19 was temporary, continued telehealth use may reduce stigmatization and promote long-term retention and PrEP persistence.
