Book excerpt: HIV and AIDS are having a profound impact on contemporary life in Thailand, generating complex issues with far-reaching implications for both the Thai people and on a global level. AIDS has become an increasingly prominent symbol of modernity in Thailand, yet ways of dealing with AIDS and HIV draw on time-honoured understandings of fate and misfortune, disease and contagion, gender and pollution. Endangered Relations provides a crucial analysis of how public health has attempted to control the threat of HIV infection, and how this has combined with local understandings of identity and sexuality; it sets in place a broad range of personal and social responses to the ongoing epidemic. An illuminating study of the way in which Thai social relations, and in particular Thai sexualities, shape the history of HIV and AIDS in Thailand, Endangered Relations offers a unique perspective on the complicated ways that disease is negotiated in cultural, political, and human terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Health - Public Health, De La Salle University (College of Liberal Arts), language: English, abstract: This report reviews published research-based data on the prevalence of anal intercourse without using condoms (AIWC) among men having sex with men (MSM) samples and the characteristics of MSM having AIWC. The number of MSM in various parts of the world and who are contracting sexually transmitted infections (STI), including human immunodeficiency virus infection, is increasing. Risk-reduction interventions need more nuanced information to further understand how AIWC, the main driver of the growth in the STI prevalence among MSM populations, can be better addressed. Overall, the findings indicate that there are large numbers of MSM samples reported to have engaged in AIWC (range: 12%-72%). There are a variety of characteristics found to be statistically significantly related with AIWC, many of which are related with the general life aspects of MSM. Risk-reduction interventions need to do more in reaching out to the MSM populations by broadening the focus, substance and impact of their efforts.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introductions: HIV infection is occurring more rapidly among men who have sex with men (MSM) than among other risk groups. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and factors associated with HIV, syphilis, urethral gonorrhea and chlamydia infection, and anal sexual positions among MSM in southern Vietnam. Methods: A total of 2768 MSM participated in several surveys implemented in eight southern provinces of Vietnam. Information on socio demographic factors, sexual behavior risks, and treatment seeking behaviors were obtained via face-to-face interviews. Blood and urine samples were collected for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia testing. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine factors associated with HIV, syphilis, urethral gonorrhea and chlamydia. Multivariate multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the correlates of anal sexual positions. Results: The prevalences (and 95%CI) of HIV, syphilis, urethral gonorrhea and chlamydia amongst MSM were 2.6% (2.0%-3.2%), 1.6% (1.1%-2.1%), 2.4% (1.7%-3.0%) and 4.3% (3.4%-5.1%), respectively. The prevalences of being exclusively insertive (EI), versatile and exclusively receptive (ER) among MSM were 25.6%, 64.5% and 9.9%, respectively. Demographic factors (age, marital status, whom currently living with, being religious, income, occupation), sexual risk behaviors (having ever had sex with a foreigner, condom use, anal sexual positions), alcohol use, recreational drug use, self assessment of HIV risk and syphilis seropositive were associated with HIV infection. Several factors were found to be associated with syphilis infection (occupation, HIV knowledge, multiple anal sex partners, condom use and HIV positive), urethral gonorrhea (religion, living with friends/male partners, engaging in sex with foreigners, middle/high income, ever acquired an STI and having urethral chlamydia), and chlamydia infection (age, occupation, exclusively receptive, drinking before anal sex, interaction between condom use and income and having urethral gonorrhea). Correlates of anal sexual positions included sociodemographic factors, sexual risk behaviors, recreational drug use, previous HIV testing, HIV and STI knowledge, STI related symptoms and receiving free or discounted-price condoms. Conclusions: HIV/STI and related risk behaviors are important public health issues among MSM in Southern Vietnam. On the basis of the study results, we make specific policy and intervention recommendations.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "men who have sex with men" - frequently shortened to MSM - describes a behaviour rather than a specific group of people. It includes self-identified gay, bisexual, transgendered or heterosexual men. Many men who have sex with men do not consider themselves gay or bisexual. They are often married, particularly where discriminatory laws or social stigma of male sexual relations exist. Largely because of the taboo, the female partners of men who have sex with men are often unaware of their partner's other liaisons, and the threat posed to themselves. Forced sex among men is not uncommon, especially in men-only environments such as prisons. Men who have sex with men are found in all societies, yet are largely invisible in many places. In terms of HIV, sex between men is significant because it can involve anal sex, which when unprotected carries a very high risk. Sex between men is thought to account for between 5 and 10% of global HIV infections, although the proportion of cases attributed to this mode of transmission varies considerably between countries. It is the predominant mode in much of the developed world. Globally less than one in twenty men who have sex with men have access to the HIV prevention and care services they need. Many factors contribute to this situation including denial by society and communities, stigma and discrimination, and human rights abuse. Vulnerability to HIV infection is increased where sex between men is criminalised, as men are either excluded from, or exclude themselves from, sexual health and welfare agencies out of fear. A range of interventions to reduce risk behaviours among men who have sex with men have proven successful, including: condom promotion, safer-sex campaigns and skills training; peer education with outreach programmes; and programmes tailored to subpopulations such as male sex workers and men in prisons. Specific policy measures are crucial for making prevention, care and support available to men who have sex with men. First and foremost, they must be included in national HIV programming and funding priorities. The governments must support organisations of men who have sex with men, enabling them to promote HIV prevention and care programmes and to participate in HIV planning and policymaking. Legislation should be changed, decriminalizing same-sex acts and providing protective laws against discrimination based on sexual orientation.

This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Although the incidence of HIV transmission among other groups is rising, men who have sex with men (MSM) account for more than forty percent of all new HIV infections. It stands to reason then, that both HIV-positive and HIV-negative MSM continue to engage in unsafe sexual behaviors. Efforts to curtail the spread of HIV infection have included safer sex campaigns, education and prevention programs, and the application of risk reduction models typically designed for HIV-negative individuals. Yet, HIV-positive MSM continue to engage in risk-taking sexual behaviors. The quandary with most HIV prevention programs is that they require an elimination of sexual behaviors that MSM have reported as important, in effect reducing their sexual freedom. Therefore, MSM may be motivated to regain the sexual freedom that existed prior to the HIV epidemic. Psychological reactance (Brehm, 1966) is a framework that describes why individuals become motivated to restore freedoms that have been threatened or eliminated. The purpose of this research was to test the theory of psychological reactance as applied to the risk-related sexual behaviors of HIV-positive MSM. According to the theory, the more important a behavior is, the greater the magnitude of reactance. The crux of this research rests on the premise that sexual importance contributes to MSM engaging in risky sexual behaviors. Psychological reactance was measured by the Therapeutic Reactance Scale (TRS) and the Questionnaire for Measuring Psychological Reactance (QMPR). This research utilized multiple linear regression analysis to test hypotheses asserting that the interaction term (reactance X sexual importance) predicts risk-related sexual behaviors in HIV-positive MSM. Results indicated that sexual importance was the most significant predictor of risk-related sexual behaviors of HIV-positive MSM. The interaction term (TRS X sexual importance) was significant for sexual practices, number of sexual encounters, number of sexual partners, and unprotected anal intercourse. The interaction term (QMPR X sexual importance) was significant for attitude, sexual practices, and unprotected anal intercourse. The implications for behavioral interventions and clinical practice as well as for future research are discussed.
