1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveThe HIV increase cases raises concern worldwide. This phenomenon is related, among other things, to sexual practices where condom use is limited. To achieve the eradication of AIDS, international organizations have been interested in analyzing and understanding the sexual practices of certain population groups, within these men who have sex with other men. In this sense, the objective of this study was to analyze the discourses on the use and non-use of condoms held by a group of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBHSH) men from two cities in Colombia.

methodsA qualitative study was carried out with data analysis through the iterative process, from the interpretation of the Information, Motivation and Behavioral Skills (IMB) model. The collection of information was carried out between 2020 and 2021 through in-depth interviews, virtually and in person, with a sample of 20 GBHSH from Colombia from the cities of Cali and Medellín.

resultsIn the Information component, it was identified that traditional sexual education had a negative impact and was very focused on a cisheterosexual and reproductive perspective. Regarding Motivational, it was highlighted that the majority were oriented towards not using condoms and that perceiving a low risk of contracting an STI was the main motivation for not using condoms. Regarding Behavioral Skills, it was analyzed that distrust towards the sexual partner promoted its use, but the intensification of pleasure, added to the consumption of alcohol and drugs, caused its use to decrease. It was also evidenced that the use of drugs such as PreP or PEP discouraged condom use in relationships.

conclusionsThe information on condom use revolves around cisheteronormative practices, leaving aside the care related to STIs. The motivation for not using condoms revolves around misinformation, pleasure and trust in the couple, while the motivation for condom use revolves around health care. The behavior regarding the non-use of condoms is related to the previous points, while misinformation and pleasure in non-use predominate.
