文化相关的预防计划，以减少艾滋病毒的风险暴露的拉丁美洲青年男子与男子发生性关系（YMSM）。作为Hermanos Jovenes的一部分，465名拉丁裔YMSM在纽约市的社区场所接受了调查，该社区位于曼哈顿下城的同性恋识别区之外。我们研究了影响种族和同性恋社区依恋的因素;社区依恋和性问题社会支持之间的关联;以及依恋水平、性问题社会支持和性风险行为之间的关系。68%的人感到与他们的种族社区有着密切的联系;大约34%的人对社区和纽约市的同性恋社区都有着高度的依恋。在性问题上更大的社会支持与种族和同性恋社区附件。拉丁裔YMSM连接到他们的种族社区约40%的可能性报告最近无保护的肛交（UAI）与男性伴侣，和60%的可能性较少从事UAI在最后一次性接触与非主要男性伴侣。同性恋社区依恋与危险行为无显著相关。调查结果指出，种族关系和参与艾滋病毒预防工作的族裔社区组织的重要性。
Culturally relevant prevention programs are required to reduce HIV risk exposure of Latino young men who have sex with men (YMSM). As part of Hermanos Jovenes, 465 Latino YMSM were surveyed at community venues of New York City outside the gay-identified area of lower Manhattan. We examined factors that influence ethnic and gay community attachments; the association between community attachments and social support in sexual matters; and the relationship between levels of attachment, social support in sexual matters, and sexual risk behaviors. Sixty-eight percent felt closely connected to their ethnic community; about 34% were highly attached to both neighborhood and New York City gay communities. Greater social support in sexual matters was associated with ethnic and gay community attachments. Latino YMSM connected to their ethnic community were about 40% less likely to report recent unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with a male partner, and 60% less likely to have engaged in UAI during the last sexual contact with a nonmain male partner. Gay community attachment was not significantly related to risk behaviors. Findings point to the importance of ethnic ties and involving ethnic community organizations in HIV prevention efforts.
