This report describes the high prevalence and context of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) among Black men who have sex with men (MSM) across 3 independent qualitative studies. Semistructured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 87 Black MSM across 3 cities (Rochester, NY, n = 28; Lexington, KY /Atlanta, GA, n = 30; and Atlanta, GA, n = 29). A combined CSA prevalence of 32% (28/87) was found among the 3 samples, despite variation in geographic location, mean age, and sexual identification. Common themes emerging across the 3 samples included prolonged and repeated abuse by a close male relative; blaming of same-sex desire on CSA; and descriptions of adverse mental health reactions to CSA. Implications of CSA and its potential influence on the mental health and risky sexual behavior among Black MSM are discussed.
本报告通过3项独立的定性研究,描述了与男性发生性关系的黑人男性(MSM)中儿童性虐待(CSA)的高患病率及相关背景。在3个城市(纽约州罗切斯特,n = 28;肯塔基州列克星敦/佐治亚州亚特兰大,n = 30;佐治亚州亚特兰大,n = 29)对87名黑人男男性行为者进行了半结构化一对一访谈。尽管地理位置、平均年龄和性取向存在差异,但在这3个样本中发现儿童性虐待的综合患病率为32%(28/87)。3个样本中出现的共同主题包括近亲男性亲属长期反复实施虐待;将同性欲望归咎于儿童性虐待;以及对儿童性虐待产生的不良心理健康反应的描述。本文讨论了儿童性虐待的影响及其对黑人男男性行为者心理健康和危险性行为的潜在影响。
