A closer look at racism and heterosexism in medical students' clinical decision-making related to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP): implications for PrEP education.
In this survey study of 115 US medical students, researchers examined associations between biases (racism and heterosexism) and PrEP clinical decision-making and explored prior PrEP education as a potential buffer. They concluded that prior PrEP education did not buffer any indirect effects. Also, heterosexism may compromise PrEP provision to MSM and should be addressed in PrEP-related medical education.

Stigma toward men who have sex with men among future healthcare providers in Malaysia: would more interpersonal contact reduce prejudice?
This study sought to inform interventions to reduce stigma toward men who have sex with men (MSM) living in countries with strong stigma toward MSM, particularly among healthcare providers. It found that multivariate analyses of variance suggest that medical and dental students who had interpersonal contact with MSM were less prejudiced toward and had lower intentions to discriminate against MSM.
