Purpose
The purpose of this study is to understand how the decisions of Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) to use HIV prevention services are affected by experiences of intersectional stigma and social support from people in their social networks. When we talk about intersectional stigma in this study, we mean experiences Latino MSM have that are related to racism, homophobia, and people’s beliefs about what men should look like and how they should behave.
