Using the Concept of Positive Deviance to Identify Harm Reduction Strategies Associated with Group Sex Events among Gay and Bisexual Men in Vancouver's Momentum Health Study
FY 2013-14
Summary
Working with gay men enrolled in Vancouver's Momentum Health Study, this research proposes to use the concept of positive deviance to understand harm reduction prevention strategies developed and used by gay men to prevent HIV transmission and infection while engaged in group sex events, which can include private sex parties, darkrooms and black-out events. The study's use of the concept of positive deviance is innovative in that it is sex positive, and promotes the development of internally constructed, rather than externally imposed, harm reduction techniques.
