Ethnic identity and social support as mediators between childhood sexual abuse and depression among black men who have sex with men.

Background: Survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) often experience long-term adverse mental health effects, a trend that has been observed in research focusing on men who have sex with men (MSM), especially Black MSM.

In addition, we examine the role of social support and ethnic identity as mediators of depression symptoms.

PrEP Stigma as a Minority Stressor among Black Sexual Minority Men: A Mixed-Methods Study.

Black sexual minority men (BSMM) remain disproportionately affected by HIV, yet Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake in this population remains relatively low. Informed by minority stress theory, PrEP stigma may manifest in and exacerbate societal marginalization based on sexuality and race. We used an exploratory sequential mixed-methods approach to determine if PrEP-specific stigma was associated with reduced PrEP uptake among BSMM, and qualitatively explored how PrEP use is stigmatized among BSMM.
