This project is financially supported by a training grant from Fordham University's HIV & Drug Abuse Prevention Research Ethics Training Institute and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (R25DA031608, Awardee: E. A subset of participants will be invited for qualitative interviews. Participants will be recruited via advertisement by sex-venue promoters for an online survey. This project will learn from sex-venue organizers and attendees about the types of sexual-health promotion strategies they would find interesting, useful, and acceptable at sex venues, as well as the feasibility of conducting studies to assess these strategies. However, to date, there are few data assessing the impact of different HIV/STI prevention strategies on the sexual health of people who attend collective sex venues. Sex-clubs organizers have different strategies to encourage safer-sex at their events, and sometimes work with local health organizations to facilitate HIV/STI testing for their clientele. In New York City, because of local regulations, collective sex often happens in private sex clubs or sex parties. He has also contributed work on HIV-related, NIH-funded studies with diverse populations including, for instance, HIV-affected heterosexual couples, HIV-positive crack-cocaine users, and heterosexual men and women who find sex partners online.Īcceptability and Feasibility of HIV/STI Prevention Research with Men and Transgender People Who Attend Collective Sex Environments: Collective sex environments like bathhouses, sex clubs, backrooms, or public sex venues can present risks for HIV & STIs, but also great opportunities for sexual-health promotion. Meunier has conducted a harm-reduction training program for male sex workers in NYC and is currently coordinating an NIH-funded study exploring the risk-taking behaviors of men who find transactional sex partners online. His research on group sex behavior has shown how public health policies in New York City have pushed gay public sex venues (such as bathhouses) into clandestinity, creating new spaces and new forms of social-sexual practices that present both opportunities and challenges for sexual-health promotion. He is currently working on NIH-funded studies looking at HIV treatment as prevention, group sex venues, and male sex work. Meunier has published ethnographic, qualitative, and quantitative research on the impact of structural, contextual, and cultural factors on sexuality.
