The Impact of Internalized Homophobia on HIV Preventive Interventions
Abstract
A growing body of research implicates internalized homophobia—the internalization of society's antihomosexual sentiments by gay and lesbian people—as a factor contributing to HIV‐related sexual risk behavior in gay and bisexual men. Although accumulating evidence links internalized homophobia and sexual risk behavior, no study has explored the impact of internalized homophobia on efforts to prevent these behaviors. This paper examines the effect of internalized homophobia on gay and bisexual men's awareness of, participation in, and perceptions of programs offered by a community‐based HIV prevention organization. In Study 1, 595 gay and bisexual men reported their levels of awareness of and participation in HIV prevention programming offered by one community organization. Internalized homophobia was negatively related to men's awareness of the services offered by the organization. However, among the men who were aware of at least one service, internalized homophobia did not further predict service utilization. Study 2 examined 89 gay and bisexual men who participated for a single session in a group‐structured, community‐based HIV preventive intervention. Pre‐ to immediate postintervention change in perceptions of condom use self‐efficacy was inversely related to internalized homophobia. Internalized homophobia was also a significant negative predictor of the extent to which participants felt similar to and related well with other members of the group. Together, these findings suggest that internalized homophobia may pose multiple barriers to community‐based HIV prevention efforts.

“These biased beliefs feature prominently in internalized homophobia and rejection hypervigilance, which are associated with poor psychosocial syndemic health (e.g., Huebner et al., 2002; Kimmel & Mahalik, 2005; Newcomb & Mustanski, 2010; Pachankis et al., 2014c, in press; Ratti et al., 2000).”

“As noted earlier, internalized homophobia has been empirically and theoretically linked to negative attitudes about other gay men, discomfort with gay men, and decreased interactions with gay men (Gonsiorek, 1988; Meyer, 1995; Nungesser, 1983).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
