dc.description.abstract ABSTRACT Drawing on qualitative research in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, this article explores how men who engage in sex with other men perceive their interactions with healthcare providers, and how they would prefer healthcare services to be organised and delivered. The paper describes the strengths and weaknesses men associate with private and public healthcare; the advantages and disadvantages they associate with dedicated clinics for sexual minority persons; what they conceive of as good healthcare services; and how they would characterise a good healthcare worker. The paper also presents recommendations made by study participants. These include the view that health services for same-sex attracted men should be developed and delivered in collaboration with such men themselves; that health workers should receive training on the medical needs as well as the overall circumstances of same-sex attracted men; and that there should be mechanisms that make healthcare available to poorer community members. We analyse men’s views and recommendations in the light of theoretical work on trust and discuss the ways in which same sex attracted men look for signs that healthcare workers and healthcare services are trustworthy.
