Overview

Qualitative investigation uncovers social capital dynamics in HIV prevention among young Black sexual minority men and women, suggesting new intervention strategies.

Key Points

  • Young Black sexual minority men in the Southern USA face high HIV rates, linked to intersectional stigma.
  • Social capital can reduce stigma and facilitate HIV prevention methods, including PrEP, among vulnerable populations.
  • In-depth interviews revealed Black women offer essential emotional support, but some hold stigmatizing views towards sexual minority men.
  • Future interventions must address biases to strengthen support systems and improve PrEP uptake in this demographic.
