| Abstract: | Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) are among the highest risk groups for HIV, and the risk distribution varies by race/ethnicity.
Prevalence rates are consistently higher for minority YMSM. Factors underlying these disparities are poorly understood. We
examined disparities in HIV risk among a community-based sample of Black, Latino, and non-Hispanic Caucasian YMSM age 16–24.
To address gaps in the literature, we examined factors between and within racial/ethnic groups across domains including: sexual and substance use behaviors, sexualized and other social contexts,
psychological well-being, HIV attributes and prevention skills, and sexual minority stress. |
