This article examines the sociodemographic/behavioral variables associated with low peer support of condom use and the relation between low peer support of condom use and unprotected anal sex for Black and Latino MSM in cities heavily impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Our findings indicate that perceived low peer support of condom use is associated with increased odds of recent unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) among Black and Latino MSM, regardless of male partner type. Although many participants reported having high peer support of condom use, this analysis highlights a considerable subgroup of Black and Latino MSM, 21% and 30%, respectively, who report low peer support of condoms. Given the prevalence of low peer support of condom use and its association with UAI in these highly impacted MSM populations, we recommend future intervention work that draws upon Black and Latino MSM's peer and social network members to reduce HIV risk behaviors.
本文探讨了与男用避孕套使用方面同伴支持率低相关的社会人口统计学/行为变量，以及在受艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情严重影响的城市中，男用避孕套使用方面同伴支持率低与黑人及拉丁裔男男性行为者无保护肛交之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明，无论男性伴侣类型如何，男用避孕套使用方面同伴支持率低都与黑人及拉丁裔男男性行为者近期无保护肛交（UAI）几率增加有关。尽管许多参与者报告称在男用避孕套使用方面得到同伴的高度支持，但该分析突出了相当一部分黑人及拉丁裔男男性行为者，分别为21%和30%，他们报告在男用避孕套使用方面得到的同伴支持率低。鉴于在这些受严重影响的男男性行为者群体中，男用避孕套使用方面同伴支持率低的情况普遍存在，且与无保护肛交有关，我们建议未来开展干预工作，利用黑人及拉丁裔男男性行为者的同伴和社交网络成员来减少艾滋病毒风险行为。
