[Foc group six]Although this excerpt they were discsg healthre more generally, the perceptn of receivg ferr medil treatment n ntribute to dividuals’ reluctance to start discsg perceived substandard re for Black gay men, foc group three participants scribed how racism, homonegativy, discrimatn, and poor medil re had bee expected and accepted as part of their health re.
Precedg the followg excerpt om foc group three, several participants had jt shared personal stori of discrimatn and poor treatment:Facilator: Why do we, as a gay Black muny, why do we allow suatns like that to bee a mon thg? Through their own experienc and those of their fay, iends, and muny members, participants uld rell so many experienc of stigma and mistreatment that they had e to expect and accept homonegativy, racism, and discrimatn. This is not to say they did not intify the jtice this or sire better re, but such experienc had bee so monplace that they were no longer shockg or Black MSM rced to their sexualy by doctorsThe perceived racism participants faced was plited by the tersectn of homonegativy.
DOCTOR'S ATTENTNS (A FIRST TIME GAY MEDIL EXAM DOMANCE EROTIC BUNDLE)
While the lack of a tsted, regular provir was one factor this, this disfort was also rooted anticipated homonegativy and poor treatment om physicians. P1: I don’t want to say ’s all Whe doctors, ‘e I’ve had some good on, but ’s jt that they treat gay men like we nasty… I even asked, “If you don’t wanna do , you n brg a woman nurse here if you want to. The fear of both race- and sexualy-based discrimatn and prejudice om Whe physicians ntributed to the notn that a gay man and doctor is a “recipe for stctn.
Mistst of physician motiv for wantg to know about sexual behavrs often stemmed om past experienc of discrimatn and homonegativy.
He jt assumed bee I was Black and I was gay, that this is what happened… I really, to be hont, I don’t know I’ve been to the doctor sce then. Participants noted that, upon revealg sexual behavrs, physicians only looked at them as young gay men at risk for HIV, rather than treatg them as a whole person, wh other healthre needs. Among those who felt PrEP was beg phed on the Black gay muny, there was skepticism about the effectivens and tentns of PrEP.
THE DOCTOR'S STRAIGHT PATIENT (FIRST TIME GAY MEDIL EXAM DOMANCE EROTI)
Specifilly, several men raised ncerns about the ‘ttg’ of meditns on Black and gay people and exprsed skepticism about the targetg of PrEP toward Black MSM.
This skepticism about physician tentns was amplified for the young men who were ntendg wh racism and homonegativy healthre settgs, which rerced medil mistst. The majory, however, did not have an tablished provir and reported more disfort wh and greater perceived homonegativy om physicians.
Seeg a new physician at every vis meant that, if they were to disclose their sexual orientatn, they would be ‘g out’ over and over aga and face the strs and risks associated wh disclosure at every vis, as they anticipated homonegativy and mistreatment. Although genr was not as notable a factor as race, there were several participants who exprsed preference for female provirs, whom they perceived to be more motherly and ls homophobic. Participants believed physician-iated nversatns about PrEP revealed physicians’ stereotyp about gay men, particularly Black gay men, as ‘risky’.
