To investigate sexual orientation differences in college men's motivations for HIV testing.
665 male college students in the Southeastern United States from 2006 to 2014.
Students completed a survey on HIV risk factors and testing motivations. Logistic regressions were conducted to determine the differences between heterosexual men (HM) and sexual minority men (SMM).
SMM were more motivated to get tested by concern over past condomless sex, while HM were more often cited supporting the testing program "on principle" and wanting a free t-shirt. SMM and HM differed in behaviors that impact HIV risk and other demographics. However, differences in testing motivation by concern over past condomless sex or wanting a free t-shirt persisted when controlling for these demographic and behavioral differences.
Appropriately designed HIV prevention interventions on college campuses should target SMM's distinct concern over past condomless sex as a testing motivation.
调查男大学生进行HIV检测动机方面的性取向差异。
2006年至2014年期间来自美国东南部的665名男大学生。
学生们完成了一项关于HIV风险因素和检测动机的调查。进行逻辑回归分析以确定异性恋男性(HM)和性少数群体男性(SMM)之间的差异。
性少数群体男性因担心过去有无保护措施的性行为而更有动力去接受检测,而异性恋男性更常提到“出于原则”支持检测项目以及想要一件免费T恤。性少数群体男性和异性恋男性在影响HIV风险的行为及其他人口统计学特征方面存在差异。然而,在控制了这些人口统计学和行为差异后,因担心过去有无保护措施的性行为或想要一件免费T恤而产生的检测动机差异仍然存在。
大学校园里设计合理的HIV预防干预措施应针对性少数群体男性对过去有无保护措施的性行为这一独特的检测动机关注点。
