Although reported cases of HIV/AIDS among gay Asian Pacific Islander (API) American men and API men who have sex with men (MSM) are still relatively low, current research findings indicate that incidences of unsafe sexual activity may be higher for this group than for any other group. Among the explanations offered to explain the levels of increasing unsafe sex among gay API men have been sexual norms found in Asian cultures, the lack of culturally relevant and/or linguistically appropriate intervention material, lack of integration into the mainstream gay community, and internalized homophobia. What are often ignored in these analyses are the contextual norms in which sexual behavior for gay API men occur. In this article, I develop the argument that racism within the gay community leads to socially and contextually prescribed sexual roles for gay API men that may also contribute to the practice of unsafe sex among this group.
尽管在亚裔太平洋岛民（API）美国男同性恋者以及与男性发生性行为的API男性中报告的艾滋病毒/艾滋病病例仍然相对较少，但目前的研究结果表明，该群体不安全的性行为发生率可能高于其他任何群体。在解释男同性恋API男性中不安全性行为水平上升的原因时，有人提到了亚洲文化中的性规范、缺乏与文化相关和/或语言合适的干预材料、缺乏融入主流同性恋社区以及内化的恐同心理。在这些分析中经常被忽视的是男同性恋API男性性行为发生的背景规范。在本文中，我提出这样一个观点，即同性恋社区内的种族主义导致男同性恋API男性在社会和背景上被规定了性行为角色，这也可能导致该群体中不安全性行为的发生。
