HIV risk of Black behaviorally bisexual women
Scientific Questions Being Studied
I will use this workbench to help recruit participants for a research study. The study is intended to explore the lived experiences of women who have sex with women and men (WSWM) and the connection between their relationship dynamics and sexual practices, in relation to HIV risk.
The specific question I intend to study is: How do the relationship dynamics and sexual practices of Black behaviorally sexual women influence HIV risk?
Looking at the relationship dynamics of WSWM (i.e. self-esteem, power, and intimate partner violence) may help gain insight on the sexual risk behaviors of WSWM’s that exist in those relationships, and how they may be related to increased HIV risk. Identifying these dynamics and behaviors may inform future clinical cultural competence interventions which address the problem associated with the phenomena of sexual practices within WSWM relationships, and increased HIV risk within these relationships, which result from unprotected sex.
Project Purpose(s)
- Population Health
- Social / Behavioral
Scientific Approaches
I plan to conduct a qualitative study, using a phenomenological approach. Participant qualification will be deemed by completion of a participant inclusion survey. All study questions will be answered in a virtual interview format (i.e. Zoom).
Anticipated Findings
This study was designed to address the limited research that currently exists on HIV prevention and testing interventions for women who have sex with women, to also include interactions with men. The anticipated findings from the study intend to identify which dynamics of participant relationships (i.e self-esteem, power) may contribute to sexual decision making. The intent is to identify patterns in sexual decision making and consequent sexual-risk taking behaviors that may increase risk in contracting or transmitting HIV.
