Reconciling intimacy and safety: a qualitative systematic review of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis implementation among gay and bisexual men
Cult Health Sex. 2023 Oct 20:1-16. doi: 10.1080/13691058.2023.2270004.

Social connectedness and supported self-management of early medication abortion in the UK: experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic and learning for the future
Cult Health Sex. 2023 Oct 13:1-16. doi: 10.1080/13691058.2023.2258189. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMedication abortion has been established globally as safe and effective. This modality has increased accessibility and the opportunity to centre individual autonomy at the heart of abortion care, by facilitating self-managed abortion. Previous research has shown how self-managed abortion is beneficial in myriad settings ranging from problematic to (relatively) unproblematic contexts of access. In this paper we explore the relationship between self-management and sources of support (including health professionals, family, an...
