  • (YMSM) to Develop Ideas on Using the Internet for HIV Prevention
    Creating Space for Young Men Who Have Sex with Men (YMSM) to Develop Ideas on Using the Internet for HIV Prevention Dinar Saurmauli Lubis A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2018 Faculty of Health and Environmental Science Abstract The prevalence rate of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Bali, Indonesia, is currently estimated at 20% (Bali Province Health Office [BPHO, 2016c]). This is significantly higher than HIV prevalence among this cohort at the national level (8.5%) and in other South-East Asian countries such as the Philippines (1.7%), Thailand (7.1%) and Vietnam (4.0%). Given relatively high rates of HIV infection among YMSM in Bali, preventing the spread of the disease among this community is vital. In recent years, Internet-based initiatives have been gaining popularity as tools for HIV prevention among YMSM as they potentially provide a convenient, easily accessible and anonymous social space for individuals requiring information and advice compared to face-to-face venues – as well as potentially providing much-needed advocacy and support. However, research on Internet-based initiatives for HIV prevention is still in its infancy, and this is true for Indonesia. Further, in order to be effective HIV prevention must be based on YMSM’s unique needs and characteristics, as evidence shows that it is essential to relate the target group’s needs to the social context. Normative sexuality in communities which endorse a heterosexual norm, often have an implication for risk and vulnerability of YMSM as well as for HIV prevention.

As mobile penetration continues to grow in India, it is important to understand how self-presentation on GSN app is relevant because it offers insight into a population that has not been largely studied. There is very little information about how Indian MSM discuss their sexual preferences and condom preferences and disclose their human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status with potential sex partners on Web-based platforms.

  • Gay Immigrants and Grindr: Revitalizing Queer Urban Spaces?
    Gay Immigrants and Grindr: Revitalizing Queer Urban Spaces? “Gay Dance Clubs on the Wane in the Age of Grindr,” proclaimed the journalist Michael Musto in the New York Times in 2016. Musto, who has reported on gay life in New York for decades, had noticed a decline in weekly dance parties. In speaking to club promoters and performers, Musto kept hearing the same thing: people would rather meet others via the comfort of their mobile phones than in a gay space. (“Clubs have been usurped by the right swipe”; “Social media changed the landscape of going out”; “Why pay an expensive cover charge and deal with rude bouncers when you can just swipe on your iPhone?” and so forth.) Similarly, a New Orleans bartender told gay reporter Chris Staudinger: “You could ask any bartender in New Orleans whether the apps have affected business in gay bars, and they would all say yes.” Scholarly research has also pointed to Grindr (and related platforms) as troublesome technologies that might obviate the need for urban gay spaces. Grindr (founded 2009) is a smartphone-only platform that allows mostly gay men (and also queer and trans people) to connect to others in their immediate vicinity via private messages. Related geo-social apps include gay platforms like Scruff, Hornet, Growler or Chappy, or the app versions of websites like Gaydar or PlanetRomeo, and mainstream equivalents like Tinder and Happn. These geo-locative platforms challenge the idea that a “gay space” needs to be a physical space distinct from a straight space, since the “grids of the Grindr interface can be overlaid atop any space” (Roth 2016: 441).

  • Geosocial Networking Apps Use Among Sexual Minority Men in Ecuador: an Exploratory Study
    Archives of Sexual Behavior https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-021-01921-0 ORIGINAL PAPER Geosocial Networking Apps Use Among Sexual Minority Men in Ecuador: An Exploratory Study Carlos Hermosa‑Bosano1 · Paula Hidalgo‑Andrade1 · Clara Paz1 Received: 20 June 2020 / Revised: 4 January 2021 / Accepted: 15 January 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Geosocial networking applications (GSN apps) have become important socialization contexts for sexual minority men (SMM). Despite their popularity, there is limited research carried out in Latin American countries and no single previous study done in Ecuador. To fll this gap, this exploratory study described and analyzed the relationships between the sociodemographic charac- teristics of SMM using GSN apps, their sought and fulflled expectations, profle shared and sought characteristics, and the evalu- ation of their experiences as users including their perceptions of support, and discrimination. We used an online recruited sample of 303 participants enrolled between November 2019 and January 2020. Most respondents used Grindr and reported spending up to 3 h per day using apps. Most common sought expectations were getting distracted, meeting new friends, and meeting people for sexual encounters. The least met expectation was meeting someone to build a romantic relationship with. When asked about their profles, participants reported sharing mainly their age, photographs, and sexual role. Participants also prioritized these characteristics when looking at others’ profles. When asked about their experiences, most reported having been discriminated against, weight being the main reason for it. Some participants also indicated having received emotional support from other users. Correlation analyses indicated signifcant but weak relationships among the variables.
