Objective: The Pulse Nightclub shooting is the deadliest act of violence against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community in U.S.
History: After the shooting, communities came together to process the violence and grieve the victims. Conceptualizing the Pulse Nightclub shooting as a cultural trauma, this article examines the impact of the shooting on gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ+) Latinx men and how these men coped following the Pulse Nightclub shooting.
Method: Semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with Latinx gay, bisexual, and queer men in the United States. Transcripts were analyzed with thematic analysis.
Results: The interviews ( = 10) revealed five main themes related to distress, coping, and belonging.
Conclusions: Cultural trauma events impact community members who share identities with the direct victims. Our findings suggest that after experiences of cultural trauma, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Latinx individuals may seek collective-level coping strategies, even when they are not directly targeted.

Background: Many transgender women with HIV achieve suboptimal advancement through the HIV Care Continuum, including poor HIV health care usage, retention in HIV medical care, and rates of viral suppression. These issues are exacerbated by comorbid conditions, such as substance use disorder, which is also associated with reduced quality of life, increased overdose deaths, usage of high-cost health care services, engagement in a street economy, and cycles of incarceration. Thus, it is critical that efforts to End the HIV Epidemic include effective interventions to link and retain transgender women in HIV care through full viral suppression.

Background: Despite increased access to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in Canada, familiarity and experience among primary care providers (PCPs)-including family doctors and those working with key populations-remains limited. To understand the barriers and facilitators of PrEP familiarity and experience, we conducted a situational analysis in PCPs in sub-urban and rural Ontario.
Methods: We surveyed a non-probabilistic sample of PCPs using an online questionnaire, designed with the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).

Trust is a particularly important element in a healthcare relationship, but it is often misunderstood. In this article, we explore the trust relationship between patients and healthcare professionals and the expectations underpinning it. We then look at some of the expectations of trans* people in the context of medical consultations that are not related to medical transition.

Background: We evaluated 1-year engagement in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care and associated factors among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in a large cohort of oral PrEP users in the Paris region, France.
Methods: We included in this analysis cisgender GBMSM enrolled in the ANRS PREVENIR cohort study from 3 May 2017 to 28 February 2019. We categorized 1-year PrEP engagement into 4 categories: high (consistent visits, attendance, and prescription refills at months 3, 6, 9, and 12), low (missed visits or no prescription refills), disengagement (PrEP discontinuation), and lost to follow-up.

People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other sexual and gender minorities (LGBT+) can encounter various challenges when seeking healthcare. For example, many LGBT+ individuals experience discrimination and social stigma from healthcare professionals, leading to feelings of mistrust. This might manifest as explicit homophobia or transphobia, inappropriate questioning, or a lack of consideration for the sensitivities around LGBT+ identities.
