OBJECTIVE
The prevalence of childhood sexual abuse among Latino adult men who have sex with men who live in the US was estimated because a history of childhood sexual abuse increases HIV sexual risk behaviors and other negative health outcomes in adulthood.
METHOD
The Urban Men's Health Study is a random-digit telephone probability survey of 2881 adult men who have sex with men (MSM) aged 18 years or older residing in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Self-reported history of childhood sexual abuse was the main outcome measure gathered from 2692 MSM.
RESULTS
A significantly higher proportion of Latino MSM reported sexual abuse before age 13 (22%) than did non-Latino MSM (11%).
CONCLUSIONS
Latino MSM are twice as likely to report a history of childhood sexual abuse than are non-Latino MSM. Given the association between childhood sexual abuse and increased risk for HIV and other negative health outcomes, health providers must remain vigilant to the possibility of childhood sexual abuse histories among their Latino patients.
目的
对居住在美国的拉丁裔男男性行为者中儿童期性虐待的患病率进行估计，因为儿童期性虐待史会增加成年后的艾滋病毒性风险行为及其他负面健康后果。
方法
城市男性健康研究是一项对居住在旧金山、纽约、洛杉矶和芝加哥的2881名18岁及以上男男性行为者（MSM）进行的随机数字电话概率调查。自我报告的儿童期性虐待史是从2692名男男性行为者中收集的主要结果指标。
结果
报告13岁之前遭受性虐待的拉丁裔男男性行为者比例（22%）显著高于非拉丁裔男男性行为者（11%）。
结论
拉丁裔男男性行为者报告儿童期性虐待史的可能性是非拉丁裔男男性行为者的两倍。鉴于儿童期性虐待与艾滋病毒感染风险增加及其他负面健康后果之间的关联，医疗服务提供者必须对其拉丁裔患者中存在儿童期性虐待史的可能性保持警惕。
