我们描述了年轻、黑人或白色两性活跃男性（N = 536，52%黑人，M年龄= 25）的社会特征和性行为。 随着时间的推移，双性恋活动似乎相对稳定：招募标准是在过去三年内与一名男性和一名女性发生任何性行为，但60%的人在过去六个月内双性恋活跃，56%的人在研究前至少五年开始双性恋活动。 与白人相比，黑人受访者更有可能自我认同为双性恋，报告的女性性伴侣更多，并且不太可能向他人透露自己的双性恋活动。 很少有受访者参与同性恋社区。 不安全性行为的发生率很高：31%的人报告在过去六个月内与男性进行了无保护的肛交，没有种族差异。 据报道，黑人与女性发生更多无保护措施的性行为，更有可能以性换取金钱。 在接受艾滋病毒检测的男子中（74%），10.5%的黑人和2.9%的白人艾滋病毒血清反应呈阳性。 双性恋男性的性风险很高，但他们缺乏对同性恋文化的参与，使他们不太可能被同性恋社区的预防计划所覆盖。 双性恋活跃的黑人男性可能有更大的风险获得和传播艾滋病毒，因为在这个人群中艾滋病毒的血清阳性率较高，与男性和女性发生无保护性行为的可能性较高，以及相关的风险因素，如以性换取金钱或毒品。
We describe social characteristics and sexual behavior of young, Black or White bisexually active men (N = 536, 52% Black, M age = 25). Bisexual activity appeared to be relatively stable over time: the recruitment criterion was any sex with a man and a woman in the previous three years, yet 60% were bisexually active during the past six months, and 56% began their bisexual activity at least five years prior to the study. Compared to Whites, Black respondents were more likely to self-identify as bisexual, reported more female sex partners, and were less likely to have disclosed their bisexual activity to others. Few respondents participated in the gay community. Rates of unsafe sex were high: 31% reported unprotected anal intercourse with a man in the past six months, with no ethnic differences. Blacks reported more unprotected sex with women and were more likely to exchange sex for money. Of the men who had been HIV tested (74%), 10.5% of Blacks and 2.9% of Whites were HIV seropositive. The sexual risk of bisexual men was high, yet their lack of participation in gay culture made them unlikely to be reached by prevention programs within the gay community. Bisexually active Black men may be at greater risk of both acquiring and transmitting HIV because of the higher seroprevalence of HIV in this population, higher likelihood of unprotected sex with both men and women, and associated risk factors, such as exchanging sex for money or drugs.
