Evidence summaries

Paper IDs and full lists are private. Only study types and summaries are shown.

Key Evidence #1
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 205
observational

Focus group discussions revealed how previous and anticipated negative interactions with physicians and skepticism about the healthcare system have alienated young Black MSM from the health care system and created significant barriers to PrEP.

Key Evidence #2
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 176
observational

Results depict an HA outbreak of multiple HAV strains, within a cross-European population, that was particularly driven by transmission between non-immune MSM engaging in high-risk sexual behaviour.

Key Evidence #3
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 161
review

As a Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) approved substance, MSM is well-tolerated by most individuals at dosages of up to four grams daily, with few known and mild side effects.

There was no evidence of risk compensation among HIV-uninfected MSM in this clinical trial and monitoring for risk compensation should continue now that preexposure prophylaxis has been shown to be efficacious in MSM and other populations.

While some MSM engaging in chemsex and SDU appeared content with these behaviours, the association with life satisfaction and sexual self-efficacy indicates psychosocial support is needed for some, and the importance of promoting harm reduction among this popu

Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 135
observational

Among MSM on PrEP, there were decreases in condom use, and a higher prevalence of STIs during PrEP use compared to prior to PrEP initiation, and there was no change in number of sexual partners or reporting HIV-positive or HIV-negative partners.
