艾滋病毒/艾滋病不成比例地影响着世界各地的同性恋和双性恋男性；然而，人们对撒哈拉以南非洲的这一种群知之甚少。我们对乌干达坎帕拉的男同性恋和双性恋男性进行了一次受访者驱动的抽样调查（N = 224）。总体而言，61%的人自称是“同性恋”，39%的人自称是“双性恋”。乌干达的同性恋和双性恋男性占92%；37%的人在过去六个月内有过无保护的接受性肛交，27%的人有过性交易，18%的人有过性交易，11%的人有过尿道分泌物史。人们对同性恋和双性恋男性感染艾滋病毒风险的认识很低。坎帕拉的同性恋和双性恋男性绝大多数是来自社会各个阶层的乌干达国民。在当地的艾滋病预防项目和教育信息中，迫切需要承认同性恋和双性恋男性。我们的研究表明，乌干达的同性恋和双性恋男性愿意表明自己的身份并参与研究。
HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects gay and bisexual men around the world; however, little is known about this population in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a respondent-driven sampling survey of gay and bisexual men in Kampala, Uganda (N = 224). Overall, 61% reported themselves as "gay" and 39% as "bisexual". Gay and bisexual men were 92% Ugandan; 37% had unprotected receptive anal sex in the last six months, 27% were paid for sex, 18% paid for sex, 11% had history of urethral discharge. Perception that gay and bisexual men are at risk for HIV infection was low. Gay and bisexual men in Kampala are overwhelmingly Ugandan nationals from all parts of society. Recognition of gay and bisexual men in local HIV prevention programs and education messages are urgently needed. Our study demonstrates that gay and bisexual men in Uganda are willing to identify themselves and participate in research.
