男男性行为者有很高比例的心理健康问题，如抑郁症，药物使用和受害，这可能部分是由于与文化边缘化和同性恋恐惧症有关的不良生活经历。这些社会心理健康状况相互作用，形成一种可能在这一人群中推动艾滋病毒风险的综合流行病。然而，男男性接触者也表现出对逆境和流行病影响的巨大复原力。调查和利用这些自然力量和传染性可能会加强艾滋病毒预防和干预计划，从而提供扭转艾滋病毒感染的趋势，男男性行为者所需的额外的有效性。
Men who have sex with men experience high rates of psychosocial health problems such as depression, substance use, and victimization that may be in part the result of adverse life experiences related to cultural marginalization and homophobia. These psychosocial health conditions interact to form a syndemic which may be driving HIV risk within this population. However, MSM also evidence great resilience to both the effects of adversity and the effects of syndemics. Investigating and harnessing these natural strengths and resiliencies may enhance HIV prevention and intervention programs thereby providing the additional effectiveness needed to reverse the trends in HIV infection among MSM.
