As the AIDS epidemic continues to disproportionately affect the Latino and African American communities in the United States, little is still known about bisexual behavior and sexual risk of Latino and African American men. This article explores the construct of familism (i.e., the cultural value that weighs on the interdependence among nuclear and extended family members for support, emotional connectedness, familial honor, loyalty, and solidarity) as an analytical point of departure from which to conceptualize sexual risk for bisexual Latino men. Data collection methods involved detailed sexual histories of 18 bisexually-active Latino men in the metropolitan New York City area. The results of this study indicate that familism, as defined by familial support, emotional interconnectedness, and familial honor, shapes the sexual decisions of bisexual teenage and adult Latino men.
由于艾滋病疫情继续对美国的拉丁裔和非裔美国人社区造成不成比例的影响,人们对拉丁裔和非裔美国男性的双性行为和性风险仍然知之甚少。本文探讨家庭主义的概念(即一种文化价值观,强调核心家庭成员和大家庭成员之间相互依赖以获得支持、情感联系、家庭荣誉、忠诚和团结),以此作为一个分析出发点,来概念化双性恋拉丁裔男性的性风险。数据收集方法涉及对纽约市大都市区18名双性恋活跃拉丁裔男性的详细性史进行调查。这项研究的结果表明,由家庭支持、情感相互联系和家庭荣誉所定义的家庭主义,塑造了双性恋青少年和成年拉丁裔男性的性决策。
