有限的研究表明，拉丁裔黑人和白人之间的艾滋病毒感染结果存在显着差异。然而，科学文献中很大程度上缺乏拉丁美洲人之间的种族问题，并且拉丁裔人口种族的相关衡量标准尚未广泛纳入正在进行的研究中。我们使用与艾滋病毒感染者发生性关系的年轻拉丁裔男性样本（N = 24）（N = 24），比较了自我报告的菲茨帕特里克皮肤照片类型和自我报告的种族。自称拉丁裔白人的皮肤照片类型为 1“浅色、浅白色”至 4“橄榄色、中度棕色”。多种族拉丁裔报告的皮肤照片类型为 2“白色、白皙”到 5“棕色、深棕色”。三分之一的参与者不认同常用的种族类别，即白人或黑人。结果表明，自认为是白人和多种族的拉美裔人的皮肤照片类型普遍存在，这可能会影响艾滋病毒种族差异的识别，以及拉美裔性少数群体和性别少数群体中的种族主义、歧视和健康不平等艾滋病毒研究。
Limited research suggests there are significant disparities in HIV outcomes between Black and White Latinos. However, race among Latinos is largely absent from the scientific literature, and relevant measures of race for Latino populations have not been widely incorporated into ongoing research. Using a sample (N = 24) of young (18–34 years old) Latino men who have sex with men living with HIV, we compared self-reported Fitzpatrick skin phototype and self-reported race. Self-identified White Latinos reported skin phototypes 1 “light, pale white” through 4 “olive, moderate brown.” Multiracial Latinos reported skin phototypes 2 “white, fair” through 5 “brown, dark brown.” One-third of participants did not identify with commonly used racial categories, White or Black. Results suggest a widespread of skin phototypes among Latinos self-identifying as White and Multiracial, which may impact the identification of HIV racial disparities, as well as racism, discrimination, and health inequities HIV research among Latino sexual and gender minorities.
