Communication about HIV status--that is, asking about a sex partner's status as well as disclosing one's own status--was examined in a sample of 129 Latino HIV-positive gay men interviewed as part of a larger study conducted in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. Asking and telling were strongly related to each other; however, participants were more likely to disclose their positive serostatus to sex partners than to solicit information about their partners' serostatus. Region of birth was associated with both asking and telling. Participants with bilingual friendship networks reported more communication with partners. Higher levels of social isolation were related to lower levels of communication, and perceived negative consequences--beliefs that disclosure would result in negative consequences or rejection--were related to less telling. Contrary to expectations, reported experiences of gay discrimination were positively associated with communication of serostatus.
在纽约、迈阿密和洛杉矶开展的一项规模更大的研究中，对129名感染艾滋病毒的拉丁裔男同性恋者进行了访谈，以此为样本对艾滋病毒感染状况的交流情况进行了研究，这种交流包括询问性伴侣的感染状况以及披露自身的感染状况。询问和披露这两者之间存在密切关联；然而，参与者向性伴侣披露自身阳性血清状况的可能性要高于询问伴侣的血清状况。出生地与询问和披露这两种行为均有关联。拥有双语朋友圈子的参与者与伴侣的交流更多。更高程度的社会隔离与更低水平的交流相关，而感知到的负面后果——即认为披露会导致负面后果或遭到拒绝的观念——则与更少的披露行为相关。与预期相反，报告的同性恋歧视经历与血清状况的交流呈正相关。
