ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Stigma negatively influences engagement in HIV prevention and care. This study explores how young Black gay and bisexual men and transgender women (GBT) in the House and Ball Community (HBC) experience HIV and other intersecting stigmas.

Method:

We conducted phenomenological analysis of interviews with 60 young Black GBT HBC members and 30 older leaders of the HBC.

Result:

Participants described experiences of enacted, perceived, and internalized HIV stigma and intersecting stigmas related to race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, gender expression, and body size, as well as their responses to HIV stigma. Intersecting stigmas shaped and reinforced one another, leading to isolation and increased HIV vulnerability.

Conclusion:

Interventions to ameliorate intersectional stigma and its effects are needed to improve primary and secondary HIV prevention in the HBC.
