Article Abstract
Black Queer people's reproductive experiences are largely under-documented and under-reported in health communication research, despite the omnipresence of their storytelling within humanities-based literature. Drawing from a larger health study using Black feminist perspectives and centering Black Queer people's lived experiences with reproduction, previous health research, and Black Queer poetics, this study uses an art-based research approach to create erasure poems that detail how Black Queer birthing people resist and survive reproductive-based injustices. Specifically, through this innovative approach, I construct eight erasure poems developed from the previous insights of Black Queer people's answer to "What is the future of reproduction?" These poems detail unparalleled truths about the needs and strategies that necessitate efforts to improve reproductive justice for my community. The poems detail Black Queer people's discussions of the importance of community networks along our reproductive health journeys, creating new conceptualizations of motherhood and parenthood, new understandings of reproductive-based stigma and oppression, and our use of spirituality as a tool for reclaiming reproductive autonomy.

Background: Anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ+) legislation has dramatically increased in the United States. These laws limit the rights of sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) youth, but their health effects remain understudied. We estimated how a hypothetical intervention setting states to have more equitable LGBTQ+-related policies would affect individual-level pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among SGM youth and young adults, and whether internalized stigma mediates this effect.

Introduction: Black, Latine, and Caribbean (BLC) sexual and gender minorities (SGM) face structural HIV inequities. Sociocentric interventions may address these barriers, but it is unclear if respondent-driven sampling (RDS) can recruit existing BLC SGM friendship groups or if sociocentric HIV prevention interventions are feasible.
Methods: Using an exploratory mixed-methods design (August/2022-January/2024, New York, NY), we recruited participants into a sociocentric RDS group (sRDS) or an individual-level peer referral (PR) group, with qualitative interviews drawn from quantitative participants.

Little research has evaluated the efficacy of therapy for queer and/or trans Black people, Indigenous people, and other People of Color (QTBIPOC). Given the emotional and mental health challenges associated with navigating intersecting forms of racism, heterosexism, and transphobia, therapy has been suggested as one potential avenue of support for QTBIPOC individuals. Some QTBIPOC clients suggest that therapy has the potential to cause further harm.
