This study examines the relationship between homonegativity, racism and poverty and HIV-risk-related behaviour among an Internet-based sample of 226 Latino gay and bisexual men. Participants had a median level of education at graduate school level or higher and a median monthly income in the US$1600-2400 range. Income and education in this sample are higher than participants in most other studies of Latino gay and bisexual men, providing information about HIV risk in a previously understudied segment of the population. Three negative binomial regressions were used to predict unprotected receptive anal intercourse, unprotected insertive anal intercourse and unprotected sex under the influence of drugs in the past 30 days, with education, Latino acculturation, income, experiences of racism and homonegativity as predictors. Greater experiences of homonegativity, fewer experiences of racism, lower income and higher Latino acculturation predicted unprotected receptive anal intercourse. Only lower Latino acculturation predicted unprotected insertive anal intercourse. Greater experiences of homonegativity, higher income and higher Latino acculturation predicted unprotected sex under the influence of drugs. This suggests that experiences of homonegativity have a detrimental impact on health behaviours. Future research should aim to further understand the relationship between experiencing homonegativity and engaging in risky sexual behaviour.
本研究考察了同性恋和双性恋拉丁裔男性群体中，同性恋憎恶、种族主义和贫困与 HIV 风险相关行为之间的关系。研究对象是一个基于互联网的 226 名拉丁裔男同性恋和双性恋者样本，他们的受教育程度中位数为研究生水平或以上，月收入中位数在美国 1600-2400 美元之间。本研究样本的收入和教育水平高于大多数其他拉丁裔男同性恋和双性恋者研究的参与者，为以前研究较少的人群提供了关于 HIV 风险的信息。采用了三个负二项式回归来预测过去 30 天内无保护的接受性肛交、无保护的插入性肛交和受药物影响的无保护性行为，以教育、拉丁裔文化融入、收入、种族主义和同性恋憎恶经历作为预测因素。更多的同性恋憎恶经历、较少的种族主义经历、较低的收入和较高的拉丁裔文化融入度预测了无保护的接受性肛交。只有较低的拉丁裔文化融入度预测了无保护的插入性肛交。更多的同性恋憎恶经历、更高的收入和更高的拉丁裔文化融入度预测了受药物影响的无保护性行为。这表明同性恋憎恶经历对健康行为有不利影响。未来的研究应该旨在进一步理解经历同性恋憎恶和参与危险性行为之间的关系。
