目标.我们试图确定行为和自我认同的双性恋男性之间的性风险是否存在差异，报告与男性和女性发生性关系而没有报告双性恋身份的男性以及自我认同为双性恋但仅报告最近同性恋行为的男性。通过二次数据分析，我们进行了逐步线性回归方程建模，以确定哪些因素是不同亚组的双性恋拉丁裔男性的性风险的重要预测因子。与女性发生性关系，无论性别身份如何，都增加了与男性进行插入式无保护肛交的可能性。双性恋身份与男性无保护肛交无统计学相关。未来的研究应该开始检查组内的差异，而不是集中在组比较，产生有限的见解同性恋和双性恋活跃的男性性风险预测。还需要进一步研究拉丁裔双性恋男性性生活中的风险和保护因素。
Objectives. We sought to determine whether there were differences in sexual risk among behaviorally and self-identified bisexual men, men who reported having sex with both men and women without reporting a bisexual identity and men who self-identified as bisexual but reported only recent homosexual behavior over the past 6 months.Methods. Through a secondary data analysis, we conducted stepwise linear regression equation modeling to determine which factors were significant predictors of sexual risk among various subgroups of bisexual Latino men.Results. Having sex with women, regardless of sexual identity, increased the likelihood of insertive unprotected anal intercourse with men. Bisexual identity was not statistically associated with unprotected anal intercourse with men.Conclusions. Future studies should begin to examine differences within groups rather than focusing on group comparisons that yield limited insights into sexual risk predictors for homosexually and bisexually active men. Further research that explores risk and protective factors in the sexual lives of Latino bisexual men is also needed.
