越来越多的行为和流行病学证据表明，男男性行为者 (YMSM) 感染艾滋病毒的风险很高。不幸的是，相对较少的研究来检验使这些年轻人面临更高风险的个人、社会和社区层面因素的范围。为了弥补文献中现有的空白，健康年轻人 (HYM) 研究在洛杉矶启动，旨在通过基于场所的分层概率抽样设计招募 526 名 YMSM 等不同种族的样本，研究与 HIV 风险和保护行为相关的一系列因素。在本文中，我们提出的研究结果表明，居住不稳定、因性取向而被迫离开家和/或居住条件不稳定的 YMSM 吸毒和参与艾滋病毒风险相关行为的风险明显更高。
There is growing behavioral and epidemiological evidence to suggest that young men who have sex with men (YMSM) are at high risk for becoming HIV-infected. Unfortunately, relatively little research has been conducted to examine the range of individual, social, and community-level factors that put these young men at increased risk. To address existing gaps in the literature, the Healthy Young Men's (HYM) Study was launched in Los Angeles to examine the range of factors associated with HIV risk and protective behaviors within an ethnically diverse sample of 526 YMSM recruited using a venue-based stratified probability sampling design. In this paper we present findings that demonstrate that YMSM who experience residential instability, who have been forced to leave their home because of their sexuality, and/or who are precariously housed are at significantly greater risk for drug use and involvement in HIV risk-related behaviors.
