我们描述了与安全套有关的问题的频率在一个种族多样化的样本的年轻男性与男性发生性关系（YMSM），并测试这些安全套相关的问题作为一个解释的种族差异在YMSM之间的艾滋病毒感染率。参与者是来自性少数健康行为纵向研究的119名YMSM。几乎所有的参与者（95.4%）都经历过至少一次安全套错误。平均而言，非洲裔美国人和非非洲裔美国人YMSM经历了相同数量的近期安全套相关问题。因此，避孕套相关问题的差异不太可能解释YMSM中艾滋病毒感染率的种族差异。在为YMSM提供服务时，提供者应该提倡使用安全套，并解释正确使用安全套的步骤。
We described frequencies of condom-related problems in a racially diverse sample of young men who have sex with men (YMSM), and tested these condom-related problems as an explanation for racial disparities in HIV rates among YMSM. Participants were 119 YMSM from a longitudinal study of sexual minority health behaviors. Almost all participants (95.4%) experienced at least one condom error. On average, African American and non-African American YMSM experienced the same number of recent condom-related problems. Therefore, differences in condom-related problems are unlikely to explain racial disparities in HIV rates among YMSM. When serving YMSM, providers should both promote condom use and explain steps to correct condom use.
