Social-support buffers the effect of internalized homonegativity on intrusive sexual thoughts/behaviors.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, intrusive sexual thoughts/behaviors (i.e., distress about one's sexual urges or behaviors) are associated with depression and engagement in behavior that increases the risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The present study examines the association between internalized homonegativity and intrusive sexual thoughts/behaviors, the intervening effect of depression symptoms, and the potential buffering effect of social support. Furthermore, we establish the subsequent link with physical health outcomes by examining the association between intrusive sexual thoughts/behaviors and recent bacterial STI diagnosis. METHOD: = 1,046) from three time points, we conducted a moderated mediation analysis and logistic regression. RESULTS: < .001, 95% CI [1.30, 2.16]). CONCLUSION: Given that social support mitigated the impact of internalized homonegativity on intrusive sexual thoughts/behaviors, ultimately indirectly reducing the occurrence of bacterial STIs in this population, these findings demonstrate the utility of psychosocial factors as potential intervention targets for improving the health of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
