Numerous studies have
documented a relationship between masculine norms and men's HIV-related sexual
behaviors, but intervening upon this relationship requires a nuanced
understanding of the specific aspects of masculine norms that shape men's
sexual behaviors.
We integrate theories on masculinities with empirical HIV
research to identify specific dimensions of masculine norms that influence
men's HIV-related sexual behaviors. We identify three major dimensions of
masculine norms that shape men's sexual behavior:
- uncontrollable male sex drive,
- capacity to perform sexually, and
- power over others.
Addressing these gaps in future research may
optimize prevention efforts.
