摘要
We examined factors that may be associated with whether Black men who have sex with men a) disclose their sexual orientation to healthcare providers, and b) discuss their sexual health with healthcare providers to inform interventions to improve HIV prevention efforts and reduce HIV incidence rates among Black men who have sex with men. During 2011-2012, we conducted semi-structured individual in-depth interviews with Black men who have sex with men in New York City. Interviews were audio recorded. We examined transcribed responses for main themes using a qualitative exploratory approach followed by computer-assisted thematic analyses. Twenty-nine men participated. The median age was 25.3years; 41% (n = 12) earned an annual income of<US$10,000; 72% (n = 21) had a college degree; 86% (n = 25) reported being single; 69% (n = 20) self-identified as gay or homosexual. We identified three main themes affecting whether the men discussed their sexual orientation and sexual health with healthcare providers: 1) comfort discussing sexual health needs; 2) health literacy; and 3) trust. Identifying strategies for improved comfort, health literacy and trust between Black men who have sex with men and healthcare providers may be an important strategy for increasing sexual health patient-provider communications, increasing opportunities for HIV prevention including testing and reducing HIV-related health disparities. ResumeNous avons examine les facteurs qui pourraient etre associes avec la probabilite que les hommes noirs qui ont des rapports avec des hommes a) revelent leur orientation sexuelle aux prestataires de soins, et b) discutent de leur sexualite avec eux afin d'orienter les interventions visant a ameliorer la prevention du VIH et la diminution de l'incidence du VIH parmi eux. Entre 2011 et 2012 nous avons conduit des entretiens en profondeur individuels et semi-structures avec des hommes noirs qui ont des rapports avec des hommes dans la ville de New York. Ces entretiens ont ete enregistres sur bande sonore. Nous avons examine les transcriptions des reponses, relativement aux themes majeurs, en employant une approche qualitative exploratoire, suivie d'analyses thematiques assistees par ordinateur. Le nombre de participants etait de 29. Leur age median etait 25.3 ans ; 41 % (n = 12) gagnaient un salaire annuel de <10.000 $ ; 72 % (n = 21) possedaient un diplome universitaire ; 86 % (n = 25) ont declare qu'ils vivaient seuls ; 69 % (n = 20) s'auto-identifiaient en tant que gays ou homosexuels. Nous avons identifie trois themes majeurs qui determinaient si ces hommes abordaient leur orientation sexuelle et leur sante sexuelle avec leurs soignants : 1) le confort necessaire pour discuter des besoins sexuels, 2) les connaissances sur la sante, et 3) la confiance. L'identification de strategies pour ameliorer le confort, les connaissances sur la sante et la confiance entre hommes noirs qui ont des rapports avec des hommes et les prestataires de soins pourrait etre un moyen important d'ameliorer la communication entre patients et soignants sur la sante sexuelle, d'augmenter les opportunites pour la prevention du VIH, y compris le depistage, et de reduire les disparites en sante liees au VIH. ResumenEn este articulo analizamos que factores podrian determinar si los hombres de raza negra que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres: a) revelan su orientacion sexual a los profesionales de la salud, y b) hablan de su salud sexual con los profesionales de la salud, con la finalidad de formular medidas que mejoren las estrategias para prevenir el contagio del VIH y reducir las tasas de incidencia del VIH entre hombres de raza negra que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres. Entre 2011 y 2012 se llevaron a cabo entrevistas exhaustivas semiestructuradas e individuales en Nueva York con hombres de raza negra que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres. Se realizo una grabacion acustica de las entrevistas. Examinamos las respuestas transcritas para los temas principales mediante un enfoque exploratorio y cualitativo seguido de analisis tematicos informatizados. Participaron veintinueve hombres. La edad media fue de 25,3 anos; 41% (n = 12) ganaban unos ingresos anuales de <10.000 $; 72% (n = 21) tenian un titulo universitario; 86% (n = 25) informaron estar solteros; 69% (n = 20) se autoidentificaron como gays o homosexuales. Identificamos tres temas principales que influian en el hecho de que los hombres hablasen de su orientacion sexual y salud sexual con los profesionales de la salud: 1) comodidad al hablar de sus necesidades relacionadas con su salud sexual, 2) conocimientos sobre la salud, y 3) confianza. Identificar las estrategias para mejorar la comodidad, los conocimientos sobre la salud y la confianza entre hombres de raza negra que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres y los profesionales de la salud podria ser importante para aumentar la comunicacion sobre la salud sexual entre los pacientes y los profesionales de la salud, aumentar las oportunidades para la prevencion del VIH, incluyendo la prueba del sida, y reducir las desigualdades sanitarias relacionadas con el VIH.
