"This Is To Help Me Move Forward": The Role of PrEp in Harnessing Sex Positivity and Empowerment Among Black Sexual Minority Men in the Southern United States. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Black sexual minority men in the U.S. face a higher risk of HIV, but advances like PrEP can help reduce transmission and enhance sexual health awareness.
  • A study involving interviews with 32 BSMM in the South explored their beliefs about PrEP, uncovering themes related to choice, empowerment, and community.
  • The research highlights how PrEP not only aids in HIV prevention but also contributes to positive sexual identity and relationships in the BSMM community.

Article Abstract

In the United States (U.S.), Black sexual minority men (BSMM) are disproportionately burdened by HIV. Prevention advances, such as HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), play a key role in reducing HIV transmission and improving our understanding of sexual expression and health. Despite these advances, little is known regarding the potential link between PrEP use and positive sexuality, including the benefits that BSMM see in accessing PrEP. We conducted a thematic analysis of 32 interviews with BSMM in the Southern U.S. regarding their PrEP beliefs. We developed five themes: (1) , (2) , (3) , (4) , and (5) . Our findings suggest that BSMM are increasingly concerned about freedom of choice and invested in sexual empowerment as related to their PrEP use. Further, unanticipated benefits, community support, and relationship tensions are salient factors in considerations of PrEP use among BSMM. These findings have implications for how we might understand a broader movement toward sexual empowerment and positivity, and the pivotal role that PrEP serves in this movement.
