致编辑最近，据报道，少数民族，特别是黑人，在美国获得性免疫缺陷综合征病例总数中所占比例不成比例。1，2然而，迄今为止，没有关于少数民族同性恋/双性恋男子的人类免疫缺陷病毒（艾滋病毒）血清阳性率数据的报告。如果各族裔群体感染的风险因素不同，研究和流行病控制战略可能受到重大影响。学习。-在旧金山弗朗西斯科，通过区域概率抽样招募了1034名25至54岁的单身男性，用于获得性免疫缺陷综合征和HIV感染的流行病学和自然史的前瞻性研究（旧金山弗朗西斯科男性健康研究）。3在研究队列中，800人将自己归类为同性恋/双性恋;其中100人属于少数民族群体。表1显示了根据种族和进入研究所时艾滋病毒感染率的队列组成。
To the Editor.— Recently, ethnic minorities, particularly blacks, have been reported to be disproportionately represented among the total of US cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. 1,2 However, to date, no human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seroprevalence data have been reported for homosexual/bisexual men who are members of ethnic minorities. If risk factors for infection differ between ethnic groups, strategies for research and epidemic control could be importantly affected. Study.— In San Francisco, 1034 single men 25 through 54 years of age have been recruited via an area probability sample for prospective study of the epidemiology and natural history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and HIV infection (the San Francisco Men's Health Study). 3 Of the study cohort, 800 classified themselves as homosexual/bisexual; of these, 100 belong to ethnic minority groups. Table 1 shows the composition of the cohort according to ethnicity and prevalence of HIV infection at the time of entry into
