本文调查了2318名拉丁裔（60%）和非裔美国人（40%）女性的性风险，她们有一个稳定的男性伴侣，在所有城市门诊就诊。在控制其他人口统计学特征的同时，我们比较了不同种族的人口统计学特征（包括出生在美国）和性艾滋病毒风险因素（性伴侣数量、性传播感染史、避孕套使用情况以及对性伴侣风险的了解和认知）。非洲裔美国女性一生中有5个或5个以上性伴侣的可能性是拉美裔女性的1.5倍，过去一年有2个或2个以上性伴侣的可能性是拉美裔女性的1.5倍，她们认为自己的性伴侣有风险。非裔美国妇女有性传播感染史的可能性是拉丁裔妇女的2.5倍。在过去的90天里，他们与主要伴侣使用安全套的可能性几乎是拉丁裔的两倍。预防艾滋病毒的干预策略必须解决拉丁裔和非裔美国妇女在艾滋病毒性危险因素方面的民族/种族差异。
This paper examines sexual risk for HIV among 2,318 Latina (60%) and African American (40%) women with a steady male partner who were attending all urban outpatient clinic.We compared ethnic groups on demographic characteristics (including being born in the U.S.) and sexual HIV risk factors (number of partners, history of sexually transmitted infection, condom use, and reported knowledge and perception of partner risk) while controlling for other demographic characteristics.African American women were about 1.5 times more likely than Latinas to report five or more sexual partners in their lifetime, to report two or more partners in the past year, and to perceive their partners as being risky. African American women were about 2.5 times more likely than Latinas to have had a history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They were also nearly twice as likely as Latinas to report having used condoms with their main partner in the past 90 days.Intervention strategies for HIV prevention must address ethnic/racial differences in sexual risk factors for HIV among Latina and African American women.
