In his dissertation, Benjamin explored the meanings of sexual activity and condom use in Mexican homosexual couples aware of their HIV discordance. Part of his dissertation has been approved to be published in a peer reviewed journal, as it was also his master thesis, which analyzed condom use in heterosexual men with non-stable partners in Mexico City.
