Young, gay, and bisexual men (YGBM) are at increased risk of family rejection, which is related to HIV infection. What remains unknown is how family rejection leads to HIV risk. In this exploratory study, qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 HIV-positive YGBM aged 18 to 24. Most participants reported family rejection, which decreased instrumental and emotional support and resulted in participants using riskier ways to support themselves, such as engaging in survival sex. Conceptualizing the findings using a family systems framework, we present a tentative conceptual model to describe the potential relationships between family rejection and HIV risk for YGBM.
年轻的男同性恋者和双性恋男性(YGBM)面临家庭排斥的风险增加,这与感染艾滋病毒有关。尚不清楚的是家庭排斥如何导致感染艾滋病毒的风险。在这项探索性研究中,对21名年龄在18至24岁之间的艾滋病毒呈阳性的YGBM进行了定性访谈。大多数参与者报告遭受了家庭排斥,这减少了工具性支持和情感支持,并导致参与者采用更具风险的方式来养活自己,比如从事生存性性行为。我们使用家庭系统框架对研究结果进行概念化,提出了一个初步的概念模型,以描述家庭排斥与YGBM感染艾滋病毒风险之间的潜在关系。
