To estimate the extent of the homosexual and bisexual male population in inner Sydney and HIV prevalence within this population.
Data from the 2000/2001 Sydney Gay Community Periodic Survey (SGCPS) and the Australian Study of Health and Relationships were used.
A re-analysis of responses from men in some inner east and inner west postcode areas of Sydney indicated that: the proportion of men who identified as homosexual or bisexual ranged from 4.4% to 48.1%; from 9.8% to 51.5% of men reported same-sex experiences during their lifetime; and 12.9% to 52.8% of men had ever experienced feelings of same-sex attraction. HIV prevalence among respondents to the SGCPS in these same areas varied from 9.1% to 21.3%.
These findings indicate elevated proportions of men with same-sex identity, experience or attraction living in these inner Sydney locations compared with other geographic areas and illustrate how gay communities cluster.
评估悉尼内城区男同性恋和双性恋男性人群的规模以及该人群中的艾滋病毒流行率。
使用了2000/2001年悉尼同性恋社区定期调查（SGCPS）和澳大利亚健康与关系研究的数据。
对悉尼内东区和内西区一些邮政编码区域男性的回复进行重新分析表明：自我认定为同性恋或双性恋的男性比例在4.4%至48.1%之间；9.8%至51.5%的男性报告在其一生中曾有过同性性经历；12.9%至52.8%的男性曾有过同性吸引的感觉。这些相同区域SGCPS受访者中的艾滋病毒流行率在9.1%至21.3%之间。
这些研究结果表明，与其他地理区域相比，居住在悉尼这些内城区的具有同性身份、经历或吸引力的男性比例有所升高，并说明了同性恋社区是如何聚集的。
