HIV prevention and treatment interventions for black men who have sex with men in Canada: a protocol for a scoping systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Globally, rates of HIV are disproportionately high among black men who have sex with men (MSM). In Canada, race, gender and sexuality have been investigated as separate factors that influence quality of care within and progression along the HIV care continuum. Traditional compartmental approaches to synthesising the HIV care continuum literature do not sufficiently account for intersectional experiences and marginalisation of Black MSM (BMSM). Moreover, there is limited research outlining access to and quality of care as specific barriers to progression along the care continuum among BMSM in Canada.

Objectives

The primary objective of this scoping review is to assess the state of the science regarding the influence of access to and quality of HIV care continuum
