由于COVID-19持续存在，有必要研究其对性和性别少数群体的影响，特别是那些具有交叉脆弱性的人。我们对全球性取向和性别少数群体进行了一项横断面调查（n = 21，795）2020年10月25日至2020年11月19日，通过社交网络应用程序。我们描述了COVID-19和COVID-19对艾滋病毒预防和艾滋病毒治疗的影响，19缓解响应，并检查了我们的研究人群的亚组是否受到COVID-19的不成比例的影响。许多性少数和性别少数的人报告说，艾滋病毒预防和艾滋病毒护理和治疗服务中断。这些后果在艾滋病毒感染者、少数种族/族裔、移民、有性工作史的个人和社会经济弱势群体中明显更大。这些发现凸显了减轻COVID-19对性和性别少数人群的负面影响的迫切需要。
As COVID-19 continues to persist, there is a need to examine its impact among sexual and gender minority individuals, especially those with intersecting vulnerabilities. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with a global sample of sexual and gender minority individuals (n = 21,795) from October 25, 2020 to November 19, 2020, through a social networking app. We characterised the HIV prevention and HIV treatment impacts of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 mitigation response and examined whether subgroups of our study population are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Many sexual and gender minority individuals reported interruptions to HIV prevention and HIV care and treatment services. These consequences were significantly greater among people living with HIV, racial/ethnic minorities, immigrants, individuals with a history of sex work, and socio-economically disadvantaged groups. These findings highlight the urgent need to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 among sexual and gender minority individuals.
