Studies among men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) focus mainly on HIV epidemiology, revealing little about the diversity within this population. We utilized data from the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 075 study, to explore demographic and psychosexual characteristics of MSM in SSA who also have sex with women. Persons included in the analyses were aged 18-44 years and assigned male sex at birth and identified as male, reported anal sex with a man in the past 3 months, and had enrolled at one of four study sites (Kisumu, Kenya; Blantyre, Malawi; Cape Town and Soweto, South Africa). Nearly a quarter of the participants had recently engaged in sex with both men and women (MSMW). These men differed in terms of demographic and psychosexual characteristics, and sexual behavior from men who only had had sex with men (MSME). Compared to the latter, MSMW were more likely to prefer the insertive sexual role, reported more sexual partners in the past three months, and had more instances of condomless insertive anal intercourse with a man. These findings suggest that men who have sex with both men and women have specific characteristics and need tailored interventions that take their specific needs into account.
撒哈拉以南非洲地区(SSA)男男性行为者(MSM)的研究主要集中在艾滋病毒流行病学方面,对该人群内部的多样性揭示甚少。我们利用了来自艾滋病预防试验网络(HPTN)075研究的数据,以探索撒哈拉以南非洲地区同时与女性发生性行为的男男性行为者的人口统计学和性心理特征。纳入分析的人员年龄在18至44岁之间,出生时被指定为男性且自我认同为男性,报告在过去3个月内与男性有过肛交,并且在四个研究地点之一(肯尼亚基苏木;马拉维布兰太尔;南非开普敦和索韦托)登记入组。近四分之一的参与者近期与男性和女性都发生过性行为(双性恋男性)。这些男性在人口统计学和性心理特征以及性行为方面与仅与男性发生过性行为的男性(男同性恋者)不同。与后者相比,双性恋男性更倾向于扮演插入式性行为角色,报告在过去三个月中有更多性伴侣,并且与男性发生无保护插入式肛交的次数更多。这些发现表明,双性恋男性具有特定特征,需要考虑其特殊需求的针对性干预措施。
