    Abstract Models of personality disorders have overwhelmingly developed in a socially decontextualized manner. Some historical models of personality pathology formally embraced the interactions between the individual and their environment. However, the field of personality disorder theory, research, and treatment has evolved in a manner that situates dysfunction within intraindividual deficiency processes. By doing so the field limits its applicability to populations that do not represent the norm in clinical psychological science (e.g., sexual/gender minority [SGM] persons for our purposes). Assumptions about personality disorders conflict with evidence-based ways of understanding psychosocial dysfunction among minoritized populations. Using research on SGM populations, and the detrimental impact of minority stress, we demonstrate how sociocultural context is inextricably linked to psychosocial functioning, which remains at odds with personality disorder theory and research. We first briefly review the historical roots of personality disorder theory; explore how sociocultural context is currently instantiated in official nosologies as the

    Abstract The 2022 outbreak of mpox disproportionately impacted men who have sex with men and people living with HIV. As such, HIV organizations were uniquely situated to reach populations affected by mpox. However, the extent to which these organizations pivoted to address mpox, and what form mpox messaging took, is unknown. We conducted a rapid environmental scan of 29 HIV or sexual health organizations to assess the frequency and content of mpox messaging in August 2022, the peak of the mpox outbreak in Miami, FL. Approximately half of the organizations provided mpox messaging, most of which was accurate. Only 5% of the messages were in Spanish and 4% in Spanish and Haitian Creole. Our findings suggest HIV organizations' pivot to mpox messaging may have been delayed overall and in reaching Spanish- and Haitian Creole-speaking communities. Results could inform modifications to mpox messaging campaigns and future outbreaks that disproportionately affect minoritized communities.

    Abstract Pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV or "PrEP" holds great promise for reducing HIV incidence. However, in certain geographic settings, like Miami, a US HIV epicenter, uptake of PrEP has been paradoxically very low compared to other areas of the country. The goal of the current study was to examine factors associated with low uptake of PrEP in young sexual minority men in Miami. Qualitative data were extracted from conversations during voluntary HIV/STI counseling and testing sessions with 24 young sexual minority men, most of whom identified as racial/ethnic minorities. These sessions were completed as part of a baseline visit for a combined mental and sexual health intervention trial. Thematic analysis of transcripts revealed barriers and facilitators associated with PrEP uptake at multiple levels (individual, interpersonal, and economic and healthcare systems barriers). Individual-level themes included concerns about the safety of PrEP, risk compensation, and taking daily oral medication; and potential benefits of PrEP as a backup plan to condom use to reassure and reduce worry about HIV. Interpersonal-level themes included lack of knowledgeable and affirming medical providers, changing norms within the community around "safe sex," and PrEP use in serodiscordant partnerships. Economic and healthcare systems barriers included challenges to accessing PrEP because of a lack of insurance and high out-of-pocket cost. These data can be used to inform the development of interventions aligned with Ending the HIV Epidemic priorities to increase PrEP use among young sexual minority men living in an HIV epicenter.

    Abstract Background: Black/African American (B/AA) and Hispanic/Latino (H/L) men who have sex with men (MSM) are significantly less likely than white MSM to initiate pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). A peer-driven intervention (PDI) may be an effective approach to addressing this disparity. In this study, we explored community member perspectives of a PDI to promote PrEP uptake among B/AA and H/L MSM.
    Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with B/AA and H/L HIV-negative MSM between August 2018 and October 2019 in Rhode Island, USA. Participants reported their perspectives and recommendations for a PDI. Data from participant responses were thematically analysed.
    Results: Of 15 MSM, the median age was 25years (interquartile range: 22, 33). The majority identified as B/AA (53.3%), H/L (66.7%), and having a college education or above (53.3%). Most participants viewed a PDI positively and were willing to learn and promote PrEP among their peers. Participants identified and supported several potential intervention components, such as education about the benefit of PrEP, emphasising prevention-effective dosing, and clarifying no prevention effect towards other sexually transmitted infections. They preferred in-person meetings to electronic communication. Preferred characteristics of peer educators included compassion, good communication skills, and enthusiasm about PrEP.
    Conclusions: This in-depth qualitative interview suggested that a PDI approach is promising in promoting PrEP uptake, as it could deliver culturally appropriate education and encourage PrEP uptake via peer influence among B/AA and H/L MSM.

    Abstract Background: People experiencing incarceration are disproportionately impacted by HIV and are potential candidates for HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We explored factors associated with PrEP interest and PrEP uptake and described barriers to PrEP uptake among incarcerated men in a state correctional system.
    Methods: From September 2019 to July 2022, incarcerated men at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections were screened for PrEP eligibility and referred to a PrEP initiation study. We used bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression models to explore factors associated with PrEP interest and uptake in the screening sample.
    Results: Of the men screened and determined to be eligible for PrEP, approximately half (50%) were interested in taking PrEP. Individuals identifying as men who have sex with men (adjusted odds ratio, 4.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.86-11.4) and having multiple female sex partners (adjusted odds ratio, 2.98; 95% confidence interval, 1.47-6.27) were more likely to express interest in PrEP (interested/not interested) than those not reporting these behavioral factors. Preexposure prophylaxis uptake (yes/no) was 38%. Lack of PrEP interest, low self-perceived risk of HIV acquisition, and unpredictable lengths of incarceration were the most frequently encountered barriers to PrEP uptake.
    Conclusions: Men reporting sexual transmission behaviors were more interested in PrEP and had higher uptake than other men. Preexposure prophylaxis interest and HIV risk factors were both moderately high, which suggests that men experiencing incarceration should be screened for and offered PrEP as part of standard clinical care. Study findings have important implications for research and practice to adapt PrEP care to correctional systems.

    Abstract Latino sexual minority men (LSMM) are affected by HIV and behavioral health disparities. Evidence-based HIV-prevention and behavioral health (BH) services are not sufficiently scaled up to LSMM. The current study identified multilevel barriers and facilitators to LSMM's use of HIV-prevention and BH services. LSMM (N = 290) in South Florida, a US HIV epicenter, completed a battery of measures potentially associated with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and BH treatment use. Stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) followed by multiple linear regression analyses identified variables associated with engagement in PrEP and BH treatment. Multilevel determinants of PrEP and BH treatment engagement were identified, with most identified determinants being at the relational level (e.g., stigma, discrimination based on income and immigration status, personal recommendation for treatment). Individual (e.g., knowledge, self-efficacy) and structural (e.g., financial stress) determinants were also identified. Accordingly, modifiable leverage points to enhance the reach of PrEP and BH treatment to LSMM include educating and enhancing the perceived relevance of services, de-stigmatizing and normalizing via peer examples, bolstering self-efficacy, and building trust.

    Abstract Latino sexual minority men (LSMM) experience sexual and behavioral health disparities. Yet, LSMM are underrepresented in sexual and behavioral health research, creating scientific inequity. There is, therefore, a need to identify the barriers and facilitators to LSMM's participation in sexual and behavioral health research, which is the gap that the current study sought to fill. We interviewed LSMM (n = 28; age 18-40, 57% US born) and key informants (n = 10) regarding LSMM's barriers and facilitators to participating in sexual and behavioral health research and suggestions for increasing participation. The research team coded the data via thematic analysis. We found that relational factors are central to understanding LSMM's participation in sexual and behavioral health research. Some relational experiences (e.g., interpersonal stigma) interfered with participation, whereas others (e.g., altruistic desires to contribute to community well-being) facilitated participation. The findings are consolidated within a new relational framework for understanding LSMM's participation in sexual and behavioral health research. Study findings highlight the centrality of relational factors in influencing LSMM's participation in sexual and behavioral health research. Relational factors can be used to inform the development of culturally relevant recruitment strategies to improve representation of LSMM in sexual and behavioral health research. Implementing these recommendations may address scientific inequity, whereby LSMM are disproportionately impacted by sexual and behavioral health concerns yet underrepresented in related research.

    Abstract Men who have sex with men (MSM) with a history of incarceration experience unique risk factors for HIV acquisition. The current study examined unique risk factors for HIV among MSM with a history of incarceration presenting to a sexually transmitted infections (STI) clinic. We analyzed self-reported behavioral data from clinical encounters among patients attending the clinic between January 2012 and April 2021. There were 17,221 unique visits, of which 5988 were MSM. Of these, 4.34% (N = 206) were MSM with a history of incarceration. MSM with a history of incarceration were significantly more likely to report a range of behavioral risk factors for HIV, yet also were significantly less likely to perceive themselves at risk for HIV. Future research and practice should develop culturally tailored biobehavioral HIV prevention services and consider embedding these programs within criminal justice settings to better reach this at-risk group.
