Integrated network-individual-resources (NIR), self-determination theory (SDT), and adapted minority stress framework.
The (A) mental and (B) tangible HIV prevention resources that are in operation at the (C) peer network-level are theorized to influence (I) individuals and their enactment of (J) HIV preventive behaviors. The SDT concepts of (D) autonomy support, (E) sense of community and (F) basic psychological needs satisfaction are peer network-level mental resources within the NIR model. Within this integrated framework, (G) HIV stigma intersects with (H) gender non-conformity stigma to directly influence the (I) individual and also to moderate the influence of peer-network level mental resources on the individual’s (J) HIV preventive behavior.
