ABSTRACT

There has been limited empirical study allowing athletes to voice their opinions on transgender participation in elite sport. This study surveyed 175 national, elite and world class athletes eligible to compete in the female category regarding transgender inclusion and eligibility. The study compared current Olympic versus current Olympic Recognised sports, elite versus world class, and current versus retired Olympic sport athletes. Most athletes favoured biological sex categorisation (58%) and considered it unfair for trans women to compete in the female category, except for precision sports. This view was held most strongly by world class athletes regarding their own sport (77% unfair, 15% fair). For trans men inclusion in the male category, most athletes considered it fair, except for Olympic sport athletes regarding contact sports (49% unfair, 27% fair) and sports heavily reliant on physical capacity (53% unfair, 29% fair). Notwithstanding those views, athletes (81%) believed sporting bodies should improve inclusivity for transgender athletes. Opinion varied somewhat according to career stage, competitive level and sport type. Nevertheless, athletes in the present study favoured categorisation by biological sex and did not support trans women eligibility for the female category in sports reliant on performance-related biological factors that differ between sexes.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, growing instability and conflict around the world have continued to fuel outward migration, including migration to the EU/EEA. Many migrants hail from countries and regions with a higher burden of STIs-including HIV-and are exposed to enhanced risks of sexual and gender-based violence leading to sexual health issues during their journeys. This scoping review aims to identify existing sexual health recommendations for non-European migrants in the EU/EEA and identify gaps in their implementation. Sexual health recommendations formulated in relation to the migrant population in peer- reviewed journals or by expert consensus, between 2010 and 2021, were included. A keyword search was used to retrieve relevant publications on PubMed, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane Library databases, WHO and ECDC websites. The search strategy employed was charted in a dedicated Prisma Chart. Overall, 180 publications were retrieved. Based on the abstract and after eliminating duplicates, 33 publications were included for full-text reading. The references of these publications were screened. In total, 19 publications met the inclusion criteria. Evidence-based sexual health recommendations target only newly arrived migrants and migrant children (at arrival and during stay in the country). Screening practices are mostly informed by the country of origin and related prevalence, which remains a limitation; challenges faced during migration should also be considered. Implementation and compliance with these recommendations remain uncertain, as sexual health is not funded and addressed in a uniform manner across Europe.

ABSTRACT

Previous studies showed that Erotic industry sShows (ES) were appropriate events for sexual health promotion and testing interventions. A cross-sectional survey exploring screening practices, sexual behaviors, substance use, and sexual motives for substance use was conducted in ES in December 2017 and completed by 781 respondents. Overall, . Eighteen18% percent reported substance use in the last 3 months (51% alcohol), 26%. Twenty-six percent reported a sexual purpose for substance use. Main sexual partners were spouse (68%), regular (21%), unknown (18%) and several (17%) partners. Main sexual practices were libertinism (22%), partner swapping (15%) and threesome (15%). Twenty-seven percent of respondents reported cContactless sex was reported by 27% of the respondents. 18% reported no previous HIV test. Univariate analysis showed that having or not previous HIV test was linked to male sex (76.8% vs. 54.5%, p < 10-3), alcohol consumption in the last three months (58.7% vs. 49.4%, p = .043), number of drugs in a lifetime (1.3% vs. 1.6%, p = .022), sexual partnership with spouse/long-term partner (57.3% vs. 70.5%; p = .002), at least one multiple-partner sexual practice (23.1% vs. 31.8%, p = .040) and type of sexual attraction (p = <10-3). Results contribute to establishing the usefulness of HIV-testing and awareness campaigns in ES eventsand informing potential combined risk behaviors and related interventions.

ABSTRACT

In France, since the law of June 17, 1998, sexual offenders may be convicted to ambulatory mandatory care, articulated with the justice. Twenty years after the implementation of this law, while social and technological developments have redefined certain aspects of delinquency, reference documents and practice guidelines remain to be updated. This is why the professionals of the main structures and associations dealing with perpetrators of sexual violence organized a public hearing under the sponsorship of the French Federation of Resource Centers for Sexual Violence Perpetrators (FFCRIAVS) according to the methodology and with the accompaniment of the High Authority of Health. This article presents the global methodology of the public hearing "Sexual Offenders: Prevention, Evaluation and Care" which was conducted on June 14 and 15, 2018. Thirty-three experts replied to27 questions and presented their conclusions to an Audition Committee and an audience of 200 persons representative of the civil and professional society. After a public debate, the hearing committee prepared a report in which they proposed propositions in order to better care for sexual offenders.
