“…These studies have found that, compared with MSM, MSMW report a higher prevalence of substance use and abuse (Kalichman et al, 1998;Stokes et al, 1997), exchange of sex for money, drugs or food (Diaz et al, 1993;Goldbaum et al, 1998), and a greater number of sexual partners (Lehner & Chiasson, 1998). Moreover, MSMW are less likely than MSM to report that they have been tested for HIV infection (Kalichman et al, 1998;Preeti et al, 2006).…”

A Comparative Analysis of Sexual Risk Characteristics of Black Men Who Have Sex with Men or with Men and Women

Many behavioral studies of Black men fail to differentiate between those who have sex exclusively with men (MSM) and those who have sex with both men and women (MSMW). Respondent-driven sampling was used to recruit a total of 1,154 Black MSM and MSMW in New York City and Philadelphia. In descriptive analyses, MSMW and MSM were compared on several demographic, health, and behavioral risk correlates using chi-square tests. Differences in prevalence of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) between these two groups were examined in two multivariate logistic regressions. Age, country of birth, self-identified sexual orientation, experience of being forced to have sex, self-reported HIV status, exchange sex for money/food/ drug, and drug use in the past 3 months were significantly associated with either insertive or receptive UAI in the past 3 months. The strongest correlate of either insertive or receptive UAI among both groups of men was engaging in exchange sex. Differences between MSMW and MSM were found in the areas of forced sexual experiences, disclosure of same sex behavior, and history of being arrested or incarcerated. Findings from our study highlight the need for specific HIV prevention interventions targeting Black MSMW as distinguished from Black MSM.

“…Of this number, the proportion of Latino MSM increased from 12 to 18%, while the rate among white, non-Latino MSM declined significantly (CDC, 2000). Differences between these two MSM subgroups are also reflected in higher numbers of Latino MSM who report non-gay self-identification and bisexual behavior, which are factors associated with risky drug-related behaviors and risky sexual behaviors (CarballoDieguez & Dolezal, 1994;Diaz et al, 1993;Montgomery, Mokotoff, Gentry, & Blair, 2003;Rietmeijer, Wolitski, Fishbein, Corby, & Cohn, 1998;Stall, Hays, Waldo, Ekstrand, & McFarland, 2000).…”

“…It also appears that rates of bisexual behavior decline under certain circumstances when men of Latin American descent immigrate to the United States. Diaz and colleagues (Diaz et al, 1993) interviewed 2,120 men with AIDS in 11 states and cities, and found that Latinos who were born abroad but who had resided for 10 years or more in the United States engaged in significantly less bisexual behavior compared to Latino immigrants who had lived in the United States for shorter periods of time. One interpretation of this finding is that the longer-term residents felt less need to engage in bisexual behavior after exposure to "contemporary AngloAmerican culture" (Rust, 2000) or "contemporary Western, gay-egalitarian patterns" (Herdt, 1997), in which insertive and penetrative same sex partners are not viewed in terms of gender roles but rather as equals who are able to exchange sexual roles.…”

Sexual Identity Formation and AIDS Prevention: An Exploratory Study of Non-Gay-Identified Puerto Rican MSM from Working Class Neighborhoods

et al. 2006

As a subgroup of men who have sex with men (MSM), non-gay-identified (NGI) behaviorally bisexual Latino MSM are associated with heightened probabilities of HIV transmission, yet they have eluded HIV/AIDS interventionists. This exploratory study of Puerto Rican MSM drug users employed multi-session qualitative interviews to examine early life experiences related to gender identity and sexual orientation, and the place of risky drug and sexual behaviors in the process of sexual identity formation. NGI participants experienced sexual debut between ages 13 and 20, and most were recruited to prostitution as young teens by NGI age mates who were also members of drug use networks. Participants emphasized their role as insertive sexual partners and that they maintained relationships with pasivo biological males. It is feasible to recruit NGI MSM through primary male sexual partners and drug use networks. HIV/AIDS prevention based on awareness of developmental histories holds promise for intervening before NGI youth engage in male prostitution or injection drug use.

“…Gay identities for African American men are comprised of complex experiences with race and sexual orientation that can involve identification with both gay and African American communities (Bergman, 1992;Boykin, 1996;Diggs, 1993;Gates, 1992;Haile, 1993;Mercer, 1993). Sexual identity for MSM can be highly situational and context-dependent, with men identifying as gay, bisexual, or straight depending on interpersonal, familial, social, business, or sexual context (Binson, et al, 1995;Diaz, et al, 1993;Flannigan-Saint-Aubin, 1993;Haile, 1993;Peterson, 1992;Pettiway, 1996;Wright, 1993).…”
