在美国，男男性行为者 (MSM) 受到艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行的影响尤为严重。疫情在男男性接触者中的分布并不均匀，年轻的少数族裔男男性接触者的新增感染率最高。基于种族的性刻板印象在 MSM 中并不罕见，它可能会导致少数族裔性网络的孤立，而这已被发现导致黑人 MSM 中艾滋病毒发病率的增加。这些分析的目的是描述基于种族的性偏好和不同种族的年轻 MSM (YMSM) 的刻板印象，并研究对性刻板印象的认可是否与与刻板种族的伴侣发生性行为时的性危险行为有关。数据取自 Crew 450，这是一项正在进行的纵向研究，针对芝加哥及周边地区 YMSM 中与艾滋病毒相关的心理社会健康问题综合症。分析利用来自三个研究波的数据，并使用分层线性模型进行纵向分析。 YMSM 普遍支持对性伴侣的同种族偏好。黑人伴侣在表现出刻板的主导特征和担任顶级/插入性角色的可能性上被评为最高，而拉丁裔伴侣在性行为火热和充满激情的可能性上被评为最高。白人伴侣在这些领域的评分最低。纵向分析发现，对这些刻板印象的认可对于少数族裔伴侣的无安全套接受性和插入性肛交率具有重要影响。研究结果表明，性别刻板印象可能导致少数种族性网络的孤立。
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States. The epidemic is not evenly distributed across MSM, and young racial minority MSM experience the highest rate of new infections. Race-based sexual stereotyping is not uncommon among MSM, and it may contribute to the isolation of racial minority sexual networks, which has been found to contribute to increased HIV incidence in Black MSM. The goals of these analyses were to describe the race-based sexual preferences and stereotypes of racially-diverse young MSM (YMSM), and to examine whether endorsement of sexual stereotypes was associated with sexual risk behavior when having sex with partners of the stereotyped race. Data were taken from Crew 450, an ongoing longitudinal study of a syndemic of psychosocial health issues linked to HIV among YMSM in Chicago and surrounding areas. Analyses utilized data from three study waves, and longitudinal analyses were conducted with Hierarchical Linear Modeling. YMSM generally endorsed same-race preferences for sexual partners. Black partners were rated highest in displaying stereotypically dominant characteristics and in likelihood of taking the top/insertive sex role, while Latino partners were rated the highest in likelihood of sex being hot and passionate. White partners were rated lowest on each of these domains. Longitudinal analyses found that endorsement of these stereotypes had important implications for the rate of condomless receptive and insertive anal sex with racial minority partners. Findings suggest that sexual stereotypes may contribute to the isolation of racial minority sexual networks.
