Investigating the Invisible: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Pilot Study Testing the Entertainment-Education Model to Provide a PrEP Education Intervention to Kink-Involved Populations.

A growing proportion of the global population engages in alternative sexual behaviors and relationships, which are commonly grouped and known as kink or BDSM (bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, sadism-masochism). Mainstream stigma and provider pathologizing of these behaviors and relationships may make kink-involved populations reticent to seek health care treatment. Moreover, some kink activities appear to expose kink-involved people to higher risks for HIV infection.
