The final installment of a federal grant worth over $2 million has been awarded by the National Institutes of Health to a researcher studying how cultural stigmas affect the sexual behavior of homosexual men in China.
Project leader Kyung Hee Choi from the University of California San Francisco received $429,431 in May for the end of the five-year study. Research on the “Influence of Stigma and Discrimination on HIV Risk Among Men in China” began in 2009 and is projected to end next year.
The research abstract notes that “the prevalence of HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China is on the rise (1%-10.4%)” and that “efforts to control the emerging HIV epidemic among these men may be hindered by stigma and discrimination related to sexual orientation.
“Experiences of MSM stigma were highly prevalent among Chinese MSM and that those who had had such experiences were more likely to engage in unprotected sex with men or with both men and women,” the abstract states.
Throughout three phases of research, researchers say they hope “to identify the specific mechanisms by which MSM stigma affect sexual risk behaviors among MSM in Beijing, China.”
