"They Want You to Kill Your Inner Queer but Somehow Leave the Human Alive": Delineating the Impacts of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression Change Efforts.

Sexual orientation and gender identity and expression change efforts (SOGIECE) aim to suppress the sexual and gender identities of Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and other queer (2SLGBTQ+) people. Exposure to SOGIECE is associated with significant psychosocial morbidity. Yet, there is a dearth of knowledge specifying the ways in which these psychosocial impacts are produced and experienced.

Determinants and Inequities in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Care Access Among Im/Migrant Women in Canada: Findings of a Comprehensive Review (2008-2018).

Given growing concerns of im/migrant women's access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, we aimed to (1) describe inequities and determinants of their engagement with SRH services in Canada; and (2) understand their lived experiences of barriers and facilitators to healthcare. Using a comprehensive review methodology, we searched the quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed literature of im/migrant women's access to SRH care in Canada from 2008 to 2018. Of 782 studies, 38 met inclusion criteria.

The scope and nature of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression change efforts: a systematic review protocol.

Background: Sexual orientation and gender identity and expression change efforts (SOGIECE) are a set of scientifically discredited practices that aim to deny and suppress the sexual orientations, gender identities, and/or gender expressions of sexual and gender minorities (SGM). SOGIECE are associated with significant adverse health and social outcomes. SOGIECE continue to be practiced around the world, despite denouncements from professional bodies and survivors, as well as calls for legislative advocacy to prohibit SOGIECE and protect SGM.

Interpersonal violence and other social-structural barriers associated with needing HIV treatment support for women living with HIV.

Women living with HIV (WLWH), experience disproportionate rates of violence, along with suboptimal HIV health outcomes, despite recent advancements in HIV treatment, known as antiretroviral therapy (ART). The objectives of this study were to: (a) describe different types of support needed to take ART and (b) investigate the social and structural correlates associated with needing support for ART adherence among WLWH. Data are drawn from Sexual health and HIV/AIDS: Women's Longitudinal Needs Assessment, a community-based open research cohort with cisgender and transgender WLWH, aged 14+ who live or access HIV services in Metro Vancouver, Canada (2014-present).

Underreporting of Violence to Police among Women Sex Workers in Canada: Amplified Inequities for Im/migrant and In-Call Workers Prior to and Following End-Demand Legislation.

Sex workers globally face high levels of violence. In Canada, im/migrant sex workers who work in indoor venues may be uniquely targeted by police due to immigration policies, racialized policing, and the conflation of trafficking and sex work. In 2014, Canada passed end-demand legislation that purportedly encourages sex workers to report violence to police; however, little research has evaluated its impact.

Prevalence and Correlates of HIV Stigma Among Women Living with HIV in Metro Vancouver, Canada.

This study elucidated the prevalence and correlates of four types of HIV stigma among women living with HIV (WLWH). Data were drawn from 2 years (September 1/15 to August 31/17) of follow-up from a longitudinal community-based open cohort of 215 cisgender or transgender WLWH who lived and/or accessed care in Metro Vancouver, Canada (2014-present). Bivariate and multivariable cumulative logistic regression using generalized estimating equations for repeated measures were used to examine correlates of HIV stigma, including: (1) anticipated; (2) enacted; (3) internalized; and (4) perceived stigma.

HIV viral load trajectories of women living with HIV in Metro Vancouver, Canada.

This study describes long-term viral load (VL) trajectories and their predictors among women living with HIV (WLWH), using data from Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS: Women's Longitudinal Needs Assessment (SHAWNA), an open prospective cohort study with linkages to the HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program. Using Latent Class Growth Analysis (LCGA) on a sample of 153 WLWH (1088 observations), three distinct trajectories of detectable VL (≥50 copies/ml) were identified: characterized by high probability of long-term VL undetectability (51% of participants); ', characterized by a high probability VL detectability at baseline that decreases over time (43% of participants); and ', characterized by a high probability of long-term VL detectability (7% of participants). In multivariable analysis, incarceration (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.

Review of sexualized drug use associated with sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to quantify associations between sexualized drug use (SDU) and sexually-transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI) diagnoses in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) with defined temporal proximity between SDU exposure and STBBI diagnoses.

Methods: In May 2018 and June 2019, we searched the literature for primary studies that quantified the association between STBBI and SDU among GBMSM. A random-effects model was used to meta-analyze the data and estimate the association between SDU and STBBIs.

Disparities in the prevalence of cigarette smoking among bisexual people: a systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression.

Objective: To review the bisexual-specific prevalence and likelihood of cigarette smoking relative to lesbian/gay and heterosexual individuals.

Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE, PsycInfo, CINAHL, Scopus and LGBT Life databases (from 1995 to September 2019) for studies reporting cigarette smoking among bisexuals versus their comparators.

Study Selection: Observational, quantitative, peer-reviewed studies providing estimates for lifetime, past 30 days or current cigarette smoking among bisexuals and any of the two comparators were selected.
