This study employs the ecodevelopmental theory to examine the influence of mother and father bonding, family engagement in healthcare, and family support on PrEP stigma among BLMSM. We used a cross-sectional sample from wave five of the Healthy Young Men (HYM) study, with a survey sample of 399 participants aged 16−24 years. We conducted two-path analyses to test multiple hypotheses: (1) mother/father bonding is associated with an increase in family engagement in healthcare; (2) family engagement in healthcare is associated with family social support; and (3) family social support is associated with PrEP stigma. Family social support was negatively correlated with PrEP stigma (r = −0.15; p < 0.001). The findings show that families either led by a Black/Latino father or mother have a significant impact on the sexual health-seeking behavior of BLMSM and their perception of HIV and PrEP.
本研究采用生态发展理论,考察母亲和父亲的亲密关系、家庭参与医疗保健情况以及家庭支持对男男性行为黑人/拉丁裔群体中暴露前预防(PrEP)污名化的影响。我们使用了来自“健康青年男性”(HYM)研究第五波的横断面样本,调查样本为399名年龄在16至24岁之间的参与者。我们进行了双路径分析以检验多个假设:(1)母亲/父亲的亲密关系与家庭参与医疗保健的增加相关;(2)家庭参与医疗保健与家庭社会支持相关;(3)家庭社会支持与PrEP污名化相关。家庭社会支持与PrEP污名化呈负相关(r = -0.15;p < 0.001)。研究结果表明,由黑人/拉丁裔父亲或母亲主导的家庭对男男性行为黑人/拉丁裔群体的性健康寻求行为及其对艾滋病毒和PrEP的认知有重大影响。
