Immigrant sexual minority Latino men-who may or may not self-identify as gay-constitute a minority within a minority. Often labeled "hidden" and "hard-to-reach," and marginalized along multiple dimensions, it is a subgroup about whom little is known. Informed by a social ecological framework, we sought to describe key social variables for 190 such men in rural North Carolina and to test associations with three sexual outcomes: consistent condom use, number of sex partners, and sexual compulsivity. Participants reported limited English-language use, predominantly Latino close friends, middle levels of social support despite numerous social ties, and frequent experiences of discrimination. There were unique sets of correlates for each sexual outcome. Findings may inform health promotion interventions and guide future research.
移民性少数拉丁裔男性——他们可能或可能不会自我认同为同性恋——构成了少数群体中的少数群体。他们常常被贴上“隐藏”和“难以接触”的标签，并在多个层面上被边缘化，这是一个鲜为人知的亚群体。基于社会生态框架，我们试图描述北卡罗来纳州农村地区190名此类男性的关键社会变量，并测试与三种性结果的关联：始终坚持使用避孕套、性伴侣数量和性强迫行为。参与者报告称英语使用有限，主要是拉丁裔密友，尽管有众多社会关系但社会支持处于中等水平，且经常经历歧视。每种性结果都有独特的相关因素集。研究结果可为健康促进干预措施提供信息，并指导未来的研究。
