Summary

This trial is to find out how to make healthcare workers more comfortable with anal sex so that gay and bisexual men will be more likely to get HIV-related services.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for males assigned at birth, currently identifying as male, living in the U.S., who have had or plan to have anal intercourse with a man within a year. Participants must be 18+, able to read and communicate in English, and interested in HIV-related services.
What is being tested?
The study is testing strategies to reduce sexual stigma by healthcare workers towards gay and bisexual men. The goal is to improve these men's engagement in HIV prevention services through developing and piloting an intervention for health professionals.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological responses during the process.
