Prevalence of Internalized Homophobia and HIV Associated Risks among\nMen who have Sex with Men in Nigeria
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study assessed the level of internalized homophobia and associated\nfactors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Nigeria. Using\nrespondent driven sampling, MSM were recruited in Lagos and Ibadan\nbetween July and September, 2006. Internalized homophobia was assessed\nas a negative composite score using an 11-item scale. A total of 1,125\nMSM were interviewed. About 44.4% self-identified as homosexual or gay\nwhile 55% regarded themselves as bisexual. About a third of the\nrespondents reported internalized homophobia. With homosexual/gay men\nas reference, respondents who self-identified as bisexual were two\ntimes more likely [AOR 2.1; 95 CI: 1.6 – 2.9, p<0.001] to\nreport internalized homophobia. Those who were HIV positive were also\ntwice as likely to report internalized homophobia compared to those who\nwere HIV negative [AOR 1.8; 95% CI: 1.2 – 2.7, p=0.004]. As\ninternalized homophobia impedes acceptance of HIV prevention\nprogramming, identifying MSM who experience internalized homophobia is\nintegral to the success of HIV prevention programming in Nigeria

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
