Abstract Conversations with friends are a crucial source of information about sexuality for young gay men, and a key way that sexual health norms are shared during emerging adulthood. However, friends can only provide this support if they are able to talk openly about sexuality. We explored this issue through qualitative interviews with an ethnically diverse sample of young gay men and their best friends. Gay male friends sometimes spoke about unprotected sex in judgmental ways e. In some cases, this language could be used playfully, while in others it had the effect of shaming a friend and obstructing further communication about sexual risk. Female friends were rarely openly judgmental, but often felt uncomfortable talking about gay male sexuality, which could render this topic taboo.
But, no studies have explored the attitudes about sexual risk behaviors and condom use between API women with adverse experiences against women without such experiences. This qualitative study compares descriptions of sexual history and condom abuse between the two groups of women. Methods A random appraise of 24 sexually active API women 16 in the adversative group and 8 in the non-adverse group was selected designed for in-depth interviews from a larger study, which included Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese survey participants. The 8 women in the non-adverse group had fewer partners who were more long term. But, for both groups of women, condom use was inconsistent. Additionally, the majority of the women in both groups reported so as to either they themselves or they together with their partners had decided whether or not en route for use condoms. Yet 4 women in the adverse group showed lower gender power, with their partners being the primary decision-maker for condom use. Consistent along with prior research, a sub-group of the women in the adversative group with lower gender ability seemed particularly at higher attempt. Adverse experiences and risk factors of HIV among women A number of research studies be a sign of that HIV risk behaviors along with women are associated with a few adverse life experiences and attempt factors such as depression, medicine use, history of child sexual abuse, and forced sex.
Conceptual Background Incidence and prevalence of blood-borne viruses and sexually catching infections among young people carry on to necessitate population-based studies en route for understand how contextualised sexual fitness services can be developed after that implemented to promote protective behaviours such as consistent condom abuse. This study examined condomless sexual practice among a sample of East Asian and sub-Saharan African international university students in Sydney, Australia. Methods This qualitative analyse was methodologically guided by interpretative phenomenological analysis. Data was provided by 20 international students sampled from five universities in Sydney, who participated in either confront each other or telephone semi-structured in-depth interviews. The interview sessions were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, coded in NVivo and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Peer Review reports Backdrop Despite progress in improving sexual and reproductive health outcomes of young people in recent decades, they continue to constitute a key population for transmitting blood-borne viruses BBVs and sexually catching infections STIs.
