We explored the effect of older partner's age and age difference between partners on condomless sex among men who have sex with men (MSM). We analyzed dyads (n = 1720) from participants (n = 969) in the Sexual Acquisition Transmission of HIV Cooperative Agreement Program. We used modified Poisson regression to model the probability of a sexual encounter's being condomless as a function of older partner's age and age difference between partners adjusting for HIV status, substance use, race/ethnicity, and partner type. We found an interaction between older partner's age and age difference (p < 0.05). Condomless sex decreased with increasing age of the older partner when the age difference was 5-9 years (p = 0.004) or ≥10 years (p = 0.04), but not when <5 years. Condomless sex was less likely among older MSM when there was ≥5 years age difference between partners than <5 years difference. Both age and age discordance affect the likelihood of a sexual encounter between MSM being condomless.
我们探讨了男男性行为者(MSM)中年长伴侣的年龄和伴侣间年龄差异对无保护性行为的影响。我们分析了性传播感染艾滋病合作协议计划参与者(n=969)中的对偶关系(n=1720)。我们使用修正泊松回归模型,将年长伴侣的年龄和伴侣间年龄差异作为调整 HIV 状况、物质使用、种族/民族和伴侣类型后,性行为中无保护措施的概率的函数。我们发现年长伴侣的年龄和年龄差异之间存在交互作用(p<0.05)。当年龄差异为 5-9 岁(p=0.004)或≥10 岁(p=0.04)时,年长伴侣年龄的增加与无保护性行为的减少相关,但当年龄差异<5 岁时则不然。当伴侣间的年龄差异≥5 岁时,年长的 MSM 发生无保护性行为的可能性较小,而年龄差异<5 岁时则不然。年龄和年龄差异都影响 MSM 之间无保护性行为的可能性。
