虽然报告的艾滋病毒/艾滋病病例中的同性恋亚洲太平洋岛民（API）的美国男子和API男子谁与男性发生性关系（MSM）仍然相对较低，目前的研究结果表明，不安全的性活动的发生率可能高于这一组比任何其他组。在解释同性恋API男性中不安全性行为增加的解释中，有亚洲文化中的性规范，缺乏文化相关和/或语言适当的干预材料，缺乏融入主流同性恋社区，以及内化的同性恋恐惧症。在这些分析中经常被忽视的是同性恋API男性发生性行为的背景规范。在这篇文章中，我发展的论点，同性恋社区内的种族主义导致社会和上下文规定的同性恋API男子的性角色，也可能有助于这一群体之间的不安全性行为的做法。
Although reported cases of HIV/AIDS among gay Asian Pacific Islander (API) American men and API men who have sex with men (MSM) are still relatively low, current research findings indicate that incidences of unsafe sexual activity may be higher for this group than for any other group. Among the explanations offered to explain the levels of increasing unsafe sex among gay API men have been sexual norms found in Asian cultures, the lack of culturally relevant and/or linguistically appropriate intervention material, lack of integration into the mainstream gay community, and internalized homophobia. What are often ignored in these analyses are the contextual norms in which sexual behavior for gay API men occur. In this article, I develop the argument that racism within the gay community leads to socially and contextually prescribed sexual roles for gay API men that may also contribute to the practice of unsafe sex among this group.
