AB - This protocol discusses a qualitative study about gay men’s memories and experiences of HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19. The study aims to understand the various ways in which younger and older gay men drew on their memories of HIV and AIDS to navigate COVID-19 and how, in turn, their experiences of COVID-19 re-shaped their memories of HIV and AIDS. To generate this knowledge, fifty semi-structured online interviews were conducted with gay men aged 23 to 82 years old living in the UK. This protocol details the context for the research, how it was conducted and some key methodological and ethical considerations when researching memory and COVID-19 experience.
