PURPOSE: Structural racism and homonegativity influence access to housing and shape the HIV risk environment. We assess disparities in mortgage loan denial and evaluate the association of intersectional mortgage discrimination with HIV incidence among sexual minority men (SMM) across U.S. counties. METHODS: Using loan applications from 2018-2022, we conducted a decomposition analysis to measure national disparities in mortgage denial by race and sexual orientation. We then constructed a county-level measure of mortgage discrimination against Black same-sex male couples using mixed-effects logistic regression, and we evaluated its association with HIV incidence among SMM in 2022 using Poisson regression adjusted for county-level covariates. RESULTS: Mortgage loan denial was 14.9 percentage points higher among Black same-sex couples (22.0 %) than White heterosexual couples (7.1 %). HIV incidence rate among SMM was 26 % [95 % CI: 22, 30] higher in counties in the highest versus lowest tertile of intersectional mortgage discrimination. CONCLUSIONS: Contemporary forces of structural racism and homonegativity continue to influence housing access, evidenced by higher loan denial for Black same-sex male couples versus White heterosexual couples. Such discrimination may contribute to the population-level burden of HIV. Anti-discrimination policies that increase access to housing for Black sexual minority men may aid in addressing HIV inequities.
目的:结构性种族主义和同性恋恐惧症影响住房获取并塑造了艾滋病毒风险环境。我们评估抵押贷款拒绝方面的差异,并评估美国各县性少数男性(SMM)中交叉性抵押贷款歧视与艾滋病毒发病率之间的关联。 方法:利用2018 - 2022年的贷款申请,我们进行了分解分析,以衡量按种族和性取向划分的全国抵押贷款拒绝差异。然后,我们使用混合效应逻辑回归构建了一个针对黑人同性伴侣的县级抵押贷款歧视度量指标,并使用针对县级协变量进行调整的泊松回归评估其与2022年SMM中艾滋病毒发病率的关联。 结果:黑人同性伴侣的抵押贷款拒绝率(22.0%)比白人异性恋伴侣(7.1%)高14.9个百分点。在交叉性抵押贷款歧视最高三分位数与最低三分位数的县中,SMM的艾滋病毒发病率高26% [95%置信区间:22, 30]。 结论:结构性种族主义和同性恋恐惧症的当代力量继续影响住房获取,黑人同性伴侣的贷款拒绝率高于白人异性恋伴侣就证明了这一点。这种歧视可能会加重艾滋病毒在人群层面的负担。增加黑人性少数男性住房获取机会的反歧视政策可能有助于解决艾滋病毒不平等问题。
