Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Black gay and bisexual men are overburdened by HIV in the USA.

While the socioecological model has been applied to understand potential mechanisms of HIV acquisition among black gay and bisexual men, there is mixed evidence on the impact of internalised stigma on HIV risk among this population.

This systematic review protocol paper outlines the systematic review being conducted to determine the relationship between internalised racism, internalised homophobia and engagement in sexual behaviour, which puts individuals at risk for HIV infection.

METHODS AND ANALYSIS: For the review, we will conduct a systematic review of the literature, summarise and critique published scholarly literature on the associations between forms of internalised stigma and sexual behaviours among black gay and bisexual men.

We will conduct a systematic search of published qualitative and quantitative research studies published during and after 1993.

The searches will be conducted in Ovid Medline, Ovid APA PsycInfo and EBSCO SocINDEX databases.

Studies will be included if they were conducted in the USA, with samples that comprised African American/black cisgender gay, bisexual, queer and other men who have sex with men, measured internalised racism and/or internalised homophobia, and assessed sexual behaviour risk for HIV acquisition.

ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: No ethical approval will be required for this review.

We will report our findings using the guidelines outlined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.

Findings of this review may offer new opportunities to study internalised mechanisms impacting outcomes and to identify research gaps and spur additional queries in the group most disproportionately impacted by HIV.
