Results of a Large, Multinational Internet Survey.}, journal = {LGBT health}, year = {2015}, month = {2015 May 29}, abstract = {Men who have sex with men (MSM) who engage in transactional sex are at increased HIV risk, and face complex barriers to care seeking. Among 2,035 men recruited through an MSM social/sexual networking website in Latin America and who reported being HIV-infected, 186 (9.1\%) reported being paid for sex with another man in the past year. Engagement in transactional sex was associated with decreased odds of receiving medical care for HIV (AOR=0.57, 95\% CI=0.37-0.85). No significant differences were seen in being on antiretroviral therapy (ART) or ART adherence once in care. Interventions in this population should focus on reducing barriers to engagement in care.}, issn = {2325-8306}, author = {Biello, Katie B and Oldenburg, Catherine E and Rosenberger, Joshua and Mayer, Kenneth H and Novak, David and Mimiaga, Matthew J} }
