African gay and bisexual men with HIV in London study published
15 October 2007
The Centre for the Study of Sexual Health and HIV (CSSHH), based at Homerton and directed by Dr Jane Anderson, has recently published the results of the first UK study into the experiences of African gay and bisexual men with HIV living in London.
'I count myself as being in a different world': African gay and bisexual men living with HIV in London (by Professor Lesley Doyal, Dr Jane Anderson and Sara Paparini) is the third report in a series of interlinked qualitative projects exploring the lives of people from African backgrounds living with HIV in London, conducted by a team of researchers at CSSHH.
This latest research report illustrates the ways in which HIV infection shapes the lives of a group of black African men who are gay or bisexual. Interviews were carried out between 2005 and 2006 thanks to the combined recruitment efforts of HIV clinicians and voluntary organisations across London. In the report men describe many of the needs and challenges they face in relation to their health. The study contributes to the very sparse literature both on HIV amongst Africans in the diaspora and on African sexual minorities.
Two previous reports led by Professor Doyal and Dr Anderson are also available to download.
