Self-identified heterosexual men who have sex with men (HMSM) have unique sexual behaviors that may increase their risk of HIV infection. We assessed the correlates of recent sex with other men and HIV-related risk behaviors among HMSM by sex of their sex partners. We analyzed data from the 2002 and 2006-2017 National Survey of Family Growth limited to men who self-identified as heterosexual and reported any anal/oral sex with another man ( = 787). Prevalence ratios based on logistic regression models determined the association between sociodemographic and behavior variables with reporting a same-sex partner or at least one HIV-related risk behavior with a female sex partner in the last 12 months. Approximately 17.7% and 42.5% of HMSM with recent same-sex partners reported HIV-related risk behaviors with male and female sex partners, respectively. HMSM who reported a recent same-sex partner and an HIV-related risk behavior reported more annual male (Ave = 2.6:95%CI;1.6-3.7) and female (Ave = 5.0:95%CI;3.3-6.8) sex partners than HMSM with a recent same-sex partner who did not report an HIV-related risk behavior [male (Ave = 1.7:95%CI;1.2-2.1) and female (Ave = 1.6:95%CI;1.1-2.1)]. HMSM with recent same-sex partners may engage in HIV-related risk behaviors with men and women concurrently. Further studies should assess gender-specific risk of infection.

HIV-related mortality has fallen due to scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART), so more women living with HIV (WLH) now live to reach menopause. Menopausal estrogen loss causes bone loss, as do HIV and certain ART regimens. However, quantitative bone data from WLH are few in Africa.

Background: People with schizophrenia spectrum disorders are at elevated risk of HIV, and people with both HIV and schizophrenia are at elevated risk of death compared to individuals with either diagnosis alone. Limited research has assessed the HIV care cascade, and in particular retention in care, among people with HIV (PWH) and schizophrenia in the U.S.

Introduction: Florida remains a high-incidence, high-prevalence setting for HIV. Long-acting (LA) antiretroviral therapies (ART) could improve HIV-related outcomes and reduce transmission. This study identifies preferred LA ART characteristics and classes of preference among people with HIV (PWH) in Florida.

Background: Fertility desire-based service guided by behavioral theory is a potential strategy to mitigate the HIV transmission risk, while related evidence remains scarce. We examined the long-term effect of theory-guided fertility desire-based services on HIV seroconversion between seropositive/seronegative partners in areas with high HIV prevalence and a cultural emphasis on fertility in China.
Methods: We established a retrospective cohort by recruiting 8,653 seropositive partners with seronegative partners between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2020, in Liangshan, China.

Background: People with disability are a vulnerable population and are at a high risk of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Objectives: We investigated the association between severity of disability and not having knowledge of any HIV prevention method among adults in Uganda.
Method: Between January 2015 and December 2015, data were collected within a general population in Uganda, on six domains of disability based on the Washington Group Short Set on Functioning.
