HIV disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minority young men who have sex with men (YMSM). HIV prevention research does not include these YMSM commensurate to their HIV burden. We examined racial and ethnic differences during a unique three-step recruitment process for an online, YMSM HIV prevention intervention study (N = 660). Step one was completed in-person; steps two and three online. Fewer Black and Latino YMSM completed step two-initiating online participation-than White YMSM. Internet use frequency accounted for the Latino versus White difference in initiating online participation, but not the Black versus White difference. Future online HIV prevention interventions recruiting diverse YMSM should focus on initiating online engagement among Black participants.
艾滋病毒在很大程度上影响着与男性发生性关系的少数族裔和少数民族年轻男性（YMSM）。艾滋病毒预防研究并没有将这些 YMSM 与他们的艾滋病毒负担相称地包括在内。我们在一项针对在线 YMSM 艾滋病毒预防干预研究（N=660）的独特三步招募过程中检查了种族和民族差异。第一步是亲自完成的；第二步和第三步是在线完成的。与白人 YMSM 相比，较少的黑人 YMSM 和拉丁裔 YMSM 完成了第二步-开始在线参与。互联网使用频率解释了拉丁裔与白人在开始在线参与方面的差异，但不是黑人与白人的差异。未来针对多元化 YMSM 的在线艾滋病毒预防干预措施应重点关注黑人参与者的在线参与。
