青年男男性行为者(YMSM)是感染艾滋病毒的最高风险群体之一，风险分布因种族/民族而异。少数民族YMSM的患病率一直较高。人们对这些差异背后的因素知之甚少。我们调查了16-24岁的黑人、拉丁裔和非西班牙裔白人YMSM社区样本中HIV风险的差异。为了解决文献中的差距，我们检查了种族/民族群体之间和内部跨领域的因素，包括：性和药物使用行为、性化和其他社会背景、心理健康、艾滋病毒属性和预防技能，以及性少数群体压力。
Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) are among the highest risk groups for HIV, and the risk distribution varies by race/ethnicity. Prevalence rates are consistently higher for minority YMSM. Factors underlying these disparities are poorly understood. We examined disparities in HIV risk among a community-based sample of Black, Latino, and non-Hispanic Caucasian YMSM age 16-24. To address gaps in the literature, we examined factors between and within racial/ethnic groups across domains including: sexual and substance use behaviors, sexualized and other social contexts, psychological well-being, HIV attributes and prevention skills, and sexual minority stress.
