Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) people are marginalized and understudied. Analyzing research activity worldwide is vital to better understand their needs in confronting the HIV epidemic. This study aimed to evaluate the global literature to identify the research collaboration, content, and tendency in HIV-related issues among the LGBT populations. Methods: Peer-reviewed original articles and reviews were achieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Country’s collaborations and co-occurrence of most frequent terms were illustrated by VOSviewer software. The Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and the linear regression model were utilized to uncover the hidden topics and examine the research trend. Results: From 1990 to 2019, a total of 13,096 publications were found. Stigma, sexual risk behaviors and HIV testing were the major topics in the LGBT research during the study period. Among 15 topics, topics about HIV/Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) prevalence, Outcomes of HIV/AIDS care and treatment, and Opportunistic infections in HIV-positive LGBT people showed decreasing attention over years, while other topics had a slight to moderate increase. Discussion: Our study underlined the exponential growth of publications on the LGBT population in HIV research, and suggested the importance of performing regional collaborations in improving research capacity. Moreover, further research should focus on examining the manner to increase the coverage of HIV testing and treatment, as well as implement HIV-interventions with low cost and easy to scale-up.

Cette thèse se propose de faire une analyse du discours sur les représentations du féminin et les implications du sexe/genre dans la chanson québécoise contemporaine, à travers les œuvres et la persona de trois auteur·ice·s-compositeur·ice·s-interprètes (ACI): Ariane Moffatt, Pierre Lapointe et Philémon Cimon. Notre analyse part d’abord du constat que les chansons de Moffatt, Lapointe et Cimon figurent des sujets lyriques, dont la parole et le geste sont modulés par les enjeux énonciatifs que posent le lyrisme. Pour rendre compte de la spécificité de la chanson comme pratique poétique réunissant paroles, musique et interprétation, nous proposons de faire une étude sémantique des chansons pour chacun·e des ACI, en nous attardant dans un premier temps aux questions soulevées par le lyrisme, puis en faisant la somme des aspects relevant du sexe/genre présents dans leurs univers sonores respectifs avec le renfort de la théorie féministe et des études de genre, d’après une perspective postmoderne. Notre lecture cherche à souligner les reconduites et les poncifs liés au féminin, mais également à saisir les propositions et les configurations qui s’écartent des lieux communs, tant pour les modèles féminins valorisés que pour les modèles amoureux et les rapports sociaux de sexe et de genre suggérés par les chansons. La comparaison entre les chansons des trois artistes permet ainsi de dégager des points de convergence, tout en révélant les particularités de leurs œuvres.

In recent years, opponents of the gender-affirmative approach to trans youth have argued that it bears homophobic roots and may be tantamount to conversion therapy. This argument is mistaken. In this article, I first argue that there is no evidence that social and/or medical transition is motivated by homophobia. Contrary to the critique’s tacit premise, many if not most trans people are LGBQ following transition. Furthermore, despite social progress in the last decade, transphobia remains more common than homophobia. Second, the gender-affirmative approach is fundamentally dissimilar to conversion therapy, unlike clinical approaches that oppose affirmation and seek to prevent transition. The comparison to conversion therapy relies on a superficial understanding of sexual orientation, such that a change of label (e.g. straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian) is equivalent to a change of sexual orientation even without changes to the targets of sexual attraction. By contextualizing conversion therapy in relation to trans youth care, I show that, on the contrary, conversion therapy has long focused on preventing transgender youth from growing up trans.
