男同性恋、双性恋和其他男男性行为者（GBMSM）感染艾滋病毒和疾病进展的风险增加。此外，艾滋病毒抗体阳性的GBMSM也是不太可能继续接受护理的人。在这项研究中，我们分析了性健康知识（SHK）和各种表现形式的耻辱在社区样本的艾滋病毒阳性GBMSM在波多黎各。样本报告总体SHK得分较低，得分较低与教育程度低，失业，低收入和自我认同的异性恋参与者有关。几乎一半的样本报告中度至重度感知同性恋污名，68.4%报告中度至重度隐藏同性恋污名，30.6%报告中度至重度艾滋病毒污名。建议开展进一步的研究，以获得文化上一致的信息，并制定干预措施，解决将采取干预措施的社会背景下的多层面污名化问题。
Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) are at increased risk for HIV infection and disease progression. Also, HIV-positive GBMSM are among those less likely to be retained in care. In this study we analyzed sexual health knowledge (SHK) and various manifestations of stigma in a community sample of HIV-positive GBMSM in Puerto Rico. The sample reports overall low SHK scores, and lower score were associated with low educational attainment, unemployment, low income, and with self-identifying heterosexual participants. Almost half of the sample reported moderate to severe perceived gay stigma, 68.4% reported moderate to severe hidden-gay stigma, and 30.6% reported moderate to severe HIV-felt stigma. Further research is recommended to obtain culturally congruent information and develop interventions addressing the multiple layers of stigma in the social context where the interventions will be delivered.
