性别和权力是与讨论异性伴侣中艾滋病毒/艾滋病的性传播有关的理论概念。尽管美国男男性行为者(YMSM)的艾滋病毒感染率正在上升，但研究性别在YMSM性决策中的作用的工作仍处于初级阶段。通过对34名年轻男同性恋者(YGM)的定性采访，我们试图通过关注YGM对肛交时性交姿势的理解和制定的方式，为这一领域的文献做出贡献。我们的结果突出了YGM的性偏好的多样性，以及高度的性流动性。性别观念似乎影响了这一进程的一部分；然而，YGM批评了传统的性别规范，并强调了性关系(即随意关系与浪漫关系)在性决策中的中心地位。我们讨论了在为YGM设计艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防信息时考虑性别和人际因素的重要性。
Gender and power are theoretical constructs linked to discussions of sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS among heterosexual couples. Despite the fact that HIV rates are rising among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in the United States, work examining the role of gender in sexual decision-making of YMSM remains in its infancy. Through qualitative interviews with 34 young gay men (YGM), we seek to contribute to the literature in this area by focusing on the ways that YGM understand and enact sexual positions during anal sex. Our results highlight the diversity of YGM’s sexual preferences, as well as the high degree of sexual fluidity. Ideas of gender appear to inform part of this process; however, YGM critiqued conventional gender norms and emphasized the centrality of relationships (i.e., casual v. romantic) in their sexual decision-making. We discuss the importance of considering gender and interpersonal factors when designing HIV/AIDS prevention messages for YGM.
