Individuals who disclose their sexual orientation are more likely to also disclose their HIV status. Disclosure of HIV-serostatus is associated with better health outcomes. The goal of this study was to build and test comprehensive models of sexual orientation that included eight theory-informed predictors of disclosure to mothers, fathers, and closest friends in a sample of HIV-positive Latino gay and bisexual men. US acculturation, gender nonconformity to hegemonic masculinity in self-presentation, comfort with sexual orientation, gay community involvement, satisfaction with social support, sexual orientation and gender of the closest friend emerged as significant predictors of disclosure of sexual orientation.
公开自己性取向的人更有可能同时公开自己的艾滋病毒感染状况。公开艾滋病毒血清学状态与更好的健康结果相关。本研究的目的是构建并测试全面的性取向模型，该模型包含八个基于理论的预测因素，用于预测在一组艾滋病毒呈阳性的拉丁裔男同性恋者和双性恋男性样本中，向母亲、父亲和最亲密朋友公开性取向的情况。美国文化适应、自我呈现中不符合霸权男性气质的性别非一致性、对性取向的舒适度、参与同性恋群体、对社会支持的满意度、最亲密朋友的性取向和性别成为公开性取向的重要预测因素。
