@TheHPPJournal @genhealthEQ @Joseph_GL_Lee @SOPHEtweets That all sounds great! But after 9 months I gave up on the peer review process @TheHPPJournal

Legalizing recreational marijuana may disproportionately impact #LGBTQ youth. We need public health approaches to control underage access. Check out our new study: https://t.co/44ZmPbknUz

Being cured of cancer doesn't have to mean giving up sex for the rest of your life. Sexual function can be rehabilitated and/or reimagined. Unfortunately 4 out of 10 gay/bisexual men in our latest study reported a loss in their role-in-sex identities. https://t.co/oYSIjyg3Ai

Why aren't we routinely recommending HPV vaccination for people using PrEP? My research shows this is a big missed opportunity for anal cancer prevention #HPV #LGBTQ #PrEP https://t.co/KPaXYQDJaK

There is a dearth of LGBTQ Health research focused on rural populations. Our new paper sheds some light on substance use patterns in a rural Midwestern state #LGBTQ #publichealth @DrBakerReports @PaulGilbertPHD @LGBTHealthJrnl https://t.co/DMOrwRBwhI

STIs are not just a problem of youth. See our new study on the “Prevalence and Risk Factors for Sexually Transmitted Infections in Gay and Bisexual Prostate Cancer Survivors” https://t.co/3jxtUgLsKx

New study by the Restore team shows that gay and bisexual men with prostate cancer are not getting the information they need about sexual morbidity from their cancer care team (even when they are out to those providers). We can do better!

Rehabilitation:"restoring to a previous condition." For gay/bi prostate cancer survivors, rehabilitation may include pleasurable receptive anal sex. Clinical practice and cancer survivorship research largely ignore this need. Read our latest study:

In this review led by @TNadarzynski we identified nearly 100 distinct correlates of vaccination acceptability and behavior among MSM. We need to translate this science into #publichealth action!

What does "shared clinical decision making" for HPV vaccination of 27 to 45 year olds look like? In our latest study @ErikaLThompson we identified patient needs and preferences for HPV vaccine decision making. #hpv
