“…These results were expected and are consistent with a recent large study of Black and Latino MSM in which researchers found that financial hardship was associated with condomless anal intercourse with sero-discordant or sero-unknown partners. 41 Several hardships were associated with HIV risk but in the direction that was not anticipated. Incarceration history was associated with decreased likelihood of CRAI, and recent conviction was associated with decreased likelihood of having ≥2 male sex partners.…”

We assessed whether economic, legal, and social hardships were associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk among a sample of Black men who have sex with men (MSM) and whether associations were moderated by city of residence. The study analyzed baseline and follow-up data from HIV Prevention Trials Network 061 (N = 1553). Binary logistic regression assessed associations between hardships and HIV risk indicators. Multivariate regressions were used to test if city of residence had a moderating effect for hardships and HIV risks. Adjusted analyses showed that Black MSM with recent job loss were more likely to engage in condomless insertive anal intercourse (adjusted odds ratios (AOR) = 1.37, 95 % CI 1.01-1.87) and that those with recent financial crisis were more likely to have had two or more male sexual partners in the past 6 months (AOR = 1.65; 95 % CI 1.18-2.29).

“…In addition, participants were asked if they had ever disclosed their same sex behavior to anyone else (labeled as being "out"). Lack of social support was measured using a 5-item scale developed for the Brothers y Hermanos study (Ayala, Bingham, Kim, Wheeler, & Millett, 2012;J. L. Lauby et al, 2012)).…”

Black men who have sex with men and women (BMSMW) are at increased HIV risk, but few efficacious interventions meet their unique needs. Three HIV prevention interventions were evaluated with a common protocol. Baseline data were pooled to describe sexual behavior involving transmission risk with male, female, and male-to-female transgender partners and identify factors associated with transmission risk. BMSMW from Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Chicago who reported sexual risk and bisexual behavior in the past year were recruited via modified chain referral sampling and community recruitment. Baseline assessments were conducted via audio computer-assisted interview and sexual behaviors assessed over the past 3 months. From

“…Youth sexual behavior is influenced by a host of sociocontextual factors, including characteristics of families, community norms, early childhood environments, and traumatic experiences. [3][4][5] However, existing studies of HIV risk among YBMSM tend to focus on more proximate influences on sexual behavior (e.g., substance abuse, partner characteristics), with comparatively less emphasis on developmental and contextual influences over the life-course.…”

A Qualitative Analysis of Father–Son Relationships among HIV-Positive Young Black Men Who Have Sex with Men

et al. 2014

Young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) are experiencing high and rising rates of HIV infection, more than any other age-risk group category in the USA. Contributors to HIV risk in this group remain incompletely elucidated. We conducted exploratory qualitative interviews with 20 HIV-positive YBMSM aged 17-24 and found that father-son relationships were perceived to be important sociocontextual influences in participants' lives. Participants discussed the degree of their fathers' involvement in their lives, emotional qualities of the father-son relationship, communication about sex, and masculine socialization. Participants also described pathways linking father-son relationships to HIV risk, which were mediated by psychological and situational risk scenarios. Our thematic analysis suggests that father-son relationships are important to the psychosocial development of YBMSM, with the potential to either exacerbate or attenuate sexual risk for HIV. Interventions designed to strengthen father-son relationships may provide a promising direction for future health promotion efforts in this population.
