== Homosexual men, AIDS and mental health ==
The abstract for the 2013 journal article ''Promoting the Sexual Health of MSM in the Context of Comorbid Mental Health Problems'' which was published in the journal ''AIDS and Behavior'' indicates:
{{Cquote|Despite the moderate efficacy of HIV prevention interventions for at risk gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), MSM continue to represent the largest group of new HIV infections and the largest number of individuals living with HIV in the US. Environmental factors such as sexual minority stress increase the vulnerability of MSM for mental health problems. These mental health problems can be a barrier to consistently engaging in self-care health behaviors such as sexual risk reduction.<ref>[''Promoting the Sexual Health of MSM in the Context of Comorbid Mental Health Problems''], Steven A. Safren,corresponding author Aaron J. Blashill, and Conall M. O’Cleirigh, AIDS Behav. 2011 Apr; 15(0 1): S30–S34. doi: 10.1007/s10461-011-9898-x</ref>}}
