Abstract
ObjectiveBlack sexual minority men (SMM) in the United States experience disproportionate HIV burden and lower engagement across the HIV Continuum of Care (HIV-CoC), partly due to intersecting stigmas. Structural interventions addressing these barriers remain limited.MethodsWe developed This is Your Moment (TiYM), a culturally-grounded media campaign designed to mitigate stigma and encourage engagement in care for Black SMM in Atlanta, Georgia. To inform implementation, we conducted focus groups with 63 stakeholders from six clinics and community-based organizations (March-October 2023), guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Transcripts were analyzed thematically.ResultsParticipants described TiYM as highly acceptable, engaging, and relatable. Facilitators included alignment with organization priorities; ease of QR code integration; potential to improve health literacy and reduce stigma. Barriers included concerns about inclusivity and unintended disclosure.ConclusionKey partners perceived TiYM as having strong implementation potential, while identifying barriers for refinement and implementation strategy.
