The primary objective of this case study is to provide a theoretical framework for explaining how the violence associated with political (practices of the sodomy law and state-police -- bifurcated and measured as structural and direct violence respectively) and cultural (practices of religious and dancehall -- measured as symbolic violence) institutions in Jamaica constructs the HIV/AIDS masculinity syndrome. This syndrome is characterized as -- institutional violence transfer stigma and discrimination associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) on to black working-class and underclass heterosexual and MSM living with HIV/AIDS -- measured as fear and shame. Defensive practices of fear and shame are characterized by: men's refusal to test for HIV and delay treatment after diagnosis; mask their same-sex practices and HIV-positive status by engaging in multiple partnerships with women and are reluctant to report homophobic violence committed against them to the state police.

520 $a The primary objective of this case study is to provide a theoretical framework for explaining how the violence associated with political (practices of the sodomy law and state-police -- bifurcated and measured as structural and direct violence respectively) and cultural (practices of religious and dancehall -- measured as symbolic violence) institutions in Jamaica constructs the HIV/AIDS masculinity syndrome. This syndrome is characterized as -- institutional violence transfer stigma and discrimination associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) on to black working-class and underclass heterosexual and MSM living with HIV/AIDS -- measured as fear and shame.

520 $a The hypotheses are: H1 (a) Strong practices of political violence stemming from the presence of the sodomy law promote strong defensive practices among black working-class and underclass MSM and heterosexual men living with HIV/AIDS -- thereby creating the HIV/AIDS masculinity syndrome. H1 (b) Strong practices of political violence by the state police promote strong defensive practices among black working-class and underclass MSM and heterosexual men living with HIV/AIDS -- thereby creating the HIV/AIDS masculinity syndrome. H2: Strong practices of cultural violence by dancehall and religious institutions promote strong defensive practices among black working-class and underclass MSM and heterosexual men living with HIV/AIDS -- thereby creating the HIV/AIDS masculinity syndrome.
520 $a Based on a qualitative research design involving an explanatory case study strategy that includes both primary (formal functional activity or participant observation) and secondary (archival records and documentations) data sources; the hypothesized expectations are analyzed by utilizing a characteristic pattern matching technique. This technique involves the actual (independent measurement practices of structural violence -- direct violence and symbolic violence -- and their respective characteristic patterns of measures' interrelationships with measurement (dependent) practices of fear and shame. The independent and dependent characteristic patterns of measures are matched with the interrelationships of the theoretical pattern (hypotheses). The researcher finds support for the theorized expectation.
