PubMed (1999)

Dan Wohlfeiler

An educational director for San Francisco's STOP AIDS assists workshop participants in evaluating the risks of oral sex between men. People participating in oral sex are encouraged to make informed decisions, minimize risks, practice basic oral hygiene, and attend support groups. They are reminded that other diseases can also be transmitted orally.

Occupational HIV Transmission Among Male Adult Film Performers — Multiple States, 2014

MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (2016)

Jason A. Wilken Christopher Ried Pristeen Rickett Janet N. Arno Yesenia Mendez

In 2014, the California Department of Public Health was notified by a local health department of a diagnosis of acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection* and rectal gonorrhea in a male adult film industry performer, aged 25 years (patient A). Patient A had a 6-day history of rash, fever, and sore throat suggestive of acute retroviral syndrome at the time of examination. He was informed of his positive HIV and gonorrhea test results 6 days after his examination. Patient A had a negative HIV-1 RNA qualitative nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT)(†) 10 days before symptom onset. This investigation found that during the 22 days between the negative NAAT and being informed of his positive HIV test results, two different production companies directed patient A to have condomless sex with a total of 12 male performers. Patient A also provided contact information for five male non-work-related sexual partners during the month before and after his symptom onset. Patient A had additional partners during this time period for which no locating information was provided. Neither patient A nor any of his interviewed sexual partners reported taking HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Contact tracing and phylogenetic analysis of HIV sequences amplified from pretreatment plasma revealed that a non-work-related partner likely infected patient A, and that patient A likely subsequently infected both a coworker during the second film production and a non-work-related partner during the interval between his negative test and receipt of his positive HIV results. Adult film performers and production companies, medical providers, and all persons at risk for HIV should be aware that testing alone is not sufficient to prevent HIV transmission. Condom use provides additional protection from HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Performers and all persons at risk for HIV infection in their professional and personal lives should discuss the use of PrEP with their medical providers.

Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention Policies in the United States

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (2015)

Jami S. Leichliter Naomi Seiler Dan Wohlfeiler

Policies are an important part of public health interventions, including in the area of sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention. Similar to other tools used in public health, policies are often evaluated to determine their usefulness. Therefore, we conducted a nonsystematic review of policy evidence for STD prevention. Our review considers assessments or evaluations of STD prevention–specific policies, health care system policies, and other, broader policies that have the potential to impact STD prevention through social determinants of health. We also describe potential policy opportunity in these areas. It should be noted that we found gaps in policy evidence for some areas; thus, additional research would be useful for public health policy interventions for STD prevention.

Structural and environmental HIV prevention for gay and bisexual men

AIDS (2000)

Dan Wohlfeiler

HIV prevention efforts for gay and bisexual men in the United States began as community-mobilizing efforts, but have drifted towards focusing more on the individual. Given lowering prevalence and incidence, it is unreasonable to expect continued community support for high levels of prevention activity. Structural and environmental interventions present one useful, complementary set of alternatives to support prevention efforts. This paper reviews the gay community's relationship with these interventions, including its intensely debated approaches to reducing HIV transmission within bathhouses. The implications for HIV prevention for gay men of larger societal factors, including economic development and economic motivation, migration, and legislation, are then considered. Individual rights, community and public-health interests must be given particularly cautious consideration when designing and implementing structural and environmental interventions.
