Minority stressors and sexual position identity (e.g. bottom, top, versatile) have been linked to HIV communication among sexual minority men (SMM), yet remain understudied in Taiwan. This study examined associations between minority stressors and HIV communication among Taiwanese SMM, with sexual position identity explored as a potential moderator. Between April and May 2023, 198 HIV-negative or unknown status Taiwanese SMM who used dating apps to find sexual partners completed an online survey assessing sexual position identity, HIV communication behaviors (partner status inquiry and self-disclosure), and three forms of stigma: enacted, anticipated, and internalized. Logistic regression analyses showed that higher internalized stigma was associated with greater odds of partner status inquiry. Moderation analyses identified interactions in which enacted stigma was associated with higher odds of partner status inquiry among bottom-identified SMM compared to versatile-identified SMM, while anticipated stigma was associated with lower odds of partner status inquiry and self-disclosure among bottom-identified SMM. These findings suggest that sexual position identity may shape how minority stressors relate to HIV communication. Interventions that account for both sexual position identity and specific forms of stigma could be relevant for supporting HIV-related communication and informed decision-making among Taiwanese SMM.

Parent-child communication about sexual health is associated with reduced sexual risk taking in adolescents. However, there is little research on how sexual health communication is transmitted across generations. This study examined how comfort discussing sexual health differs across generations within a family and how these conversations are associated with social/emotional wellness. Data were collected from family triads (N = 132 triads) comprised of a grandparent, parent, and young adult (grand)child. Each participant completed a survey regarding parent/child sexual health communication and social/emotional wellness. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression in Stata 18, controlling for gender, age, marital status, and subjective socioeconomic status. Generally, young adults reported more parent/child sexual health communication than prior generations. When parents were comfortable discussing sexual health topics, young adults were more likely to report that their parents talked to them about sexual health. Parents and grandparents were more comfortable discussing sexual health topics if their own parents talked to them about sexual health. Young adults and grandparents reported better social/emotional wellness if their parents talked to them about sexual health during childhood. Our results indicate that it is more acceptable for parents to discuss sexual health with their children in recent generations. More parent-child discussions of sexual health may improve social/emotional wellness in future generations.

The present study describes the development and psychometric evaluation of a new diagnostic instrument for the assessment of trauma-related sexual problems: The Sexual Problems following Trauma Questionnaire (SPTQ). A set of 55 items, developed from a comprehensive literature review and expert and patient queries, was tested on a German sample of 849 trauma-exposed adults and 46 healthy controls. The initial items were subjected to an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in a randomly selected subsample (N = 439) of trauma-exposed adults. A final set of 27 items was subjected to a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to cross-validate the factor structure in a separate subsample (N = 410). The EFA revealed six dimensions: Negative Emotions and Cognitions, Lack of Boundaries, Intrusion and Avoidance, Dissociation, Hyperarousal, and Instrumental Sexual Behavior. The CFA demonstrated good to excellent model fit (CFI = .91; TLI = .90; RMSEA = .08; SRMR = .07), and the SPTQ total scale showed excellent internal consistency (α = .95). Convergent validity was supported by significant correlations with sexual function measures, while criterion validity showed correlations with time since last sexual contact and satisfaction. In sum, results indicate that the SPTQ is a reliable and valid measure of sexual problems following trauma.

The prevalence of sexual assault (SA) among college students (13%) is unacceptable, underreported, and alcohol use by the perpetrator or victim is reported in 50% of SA cases. Bystander intervention (BI) programs, which use prosocial behaviors to prevent or stop a harmful situation from occurring, have been implemented across college campuses to reduce SA. There are several known barriers (e.g. self-intoxication) and facilitators (e.g. peer support) to BI for SA; however, less is known about barriers and facilitators to BI for alcohol-related SA. Alcohol-related SA includes situations in which the perpetrator and/or victim are intoxicated, whereas alcohol-facilitated SA includes situations in which individuals intentionally use alcohol as a perpetration strategy. The current study examined student perspectives of BI for SA opportunities, actions taken in response to opportunities, and barriers and facilitators to action. The team conducted content and deductive thematic analysis of data from focus groups and interviews with diverse undergraduate students (N = 79). Opportunities included perpetrator-focused, victim-focused, and sexual risk opportunities. Actions taken included staying vigilant, monitoring friends, communicating with friends, and removing friends. Barriers included self-intoxication, feeling helpless, peer pressure, not feeling personally responsible, and fearing the consequences of helping. Finally, facilitators included knowing friends' concerning signals and drinking motives, feeling like some intervention strategies are easy, understanding sex-related risks, acknowledging consent and personal boundaries, and feeling personally responsible for friends. Understanding these situations' nuances can help to inform more effective and comprehensive BI programs to reduce SA.
大学生中的性侵犯（SA）发生率（13%）令人难以接受，而且报告不足，在 50%的性侵犯案件中，施暴者或受害者都曾酗酒。旁观者干预（BI）计划利用亲社会行为来预防或阻止有害情况的发生，已在大学校园中实施，以减少性侵犯。对 SA 进行旁观者干预有几种已知的障碍（如自我中毒）和促进因素（如同伴支持）；但对与酒精相关的 SA 进行旁观者干预的障碍和促进因素却知之甚少。与酒精相关的 SA 包括施暴者和/或受害者喝醉的情况，而酒精促成的 SA 包括个人故意使用酒精作为施暴策略的情况。当前的研究考察了学生从 BI 角度看 SA 的机会、针对机会采取的行动以及行动的障碍和促进因素。研究小组对来自焦点小组和访谈的数据进行了内容和演绎主题分析，访谈对象为不同的本科生（79 人）。机会包括犯罪者机会、受害者机会和性风险机会。所采取的行动包括保持警惕、监督朋友、与朋友沟通以及移除朋友。障碍包括自我陶醉、无助感、同伴压力、不觉得自己有责任以及害怕帮助的后果。最后，促进因素包括了解朋友的相关信号和饮酒动机、感觉某些干预策略很简单、了解与性有关的风险、承认同意和个人界限，以及感觉自己要对朋友负责。了解这些情况的细微差别有助于制定更有效、更全面的 BI 计划，以减少 SA。
