Association between stigma towards HIV and MSM and intimate partner violence among newly HIV-diagnosed Chinese men who have sex with men

BMC Public Health Feb 14, 2020

Wang N, Huang B, Ruan Y, et al. - Researchers conducted a study involving newly HIV-diagnosed Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM) to assess the link between HIV-stigma and stigma associated with homosexuality and intimate partner violence (IPV) in this population. This analysis included 367 participants. Of these participants, 23.7% reported any IPV, including 16.6% physical, 7.4% psychological, and 5.2% sexual. A positive association of HIV- and MSM-related stigmas with IPV experiences was identified among newly diagnosed MSM in China. Further assessment of the way in which stigma may exacerbate IPV—and/or the impact of IPV on worsening stigma—was recommended. Experts noted these people showed a high prevalence of IPV and stigma. This observation thus calls for interventions to decrease stigma and avert this risky behavior among MSM.
