This study describes psychological and behavioral differences between gay men in primary relationships and single men from 1985 through 1989. In addition, differences in sexual behavior, relationship status, and relationship quality between HIV positive and HIV negative men were investigated. Data are from the San Francisco Men's Health Study and included only men who were gay identified and who participated in the longitudinal surveys in 1985, 1987 and 1989 (N = 452). Participants were stratified by relationship status and by HIV status. HIV positive men were less likely than HIV negative men to be in primary relationships (38.9% vs. 52.9%, respectively in 1989). In addition, men in relationships had higher rates of unprotected anal intercourse than single men (32.6% vs. 17.0%, respectively in 1989). Differences in psychosocial and behavioral variables were found and have considerable implications for prevention programs and mental health services trying to meet the needs of the gay men's community.
本研究描述了1985年至1989年间处于主要恋爱关系中的男同性恋者与单身男性在心理和行为上的差异。此外，还调查了HIV阳性和HIV阴性男性在性行为、恋爱状况及恋爱质量方面的差异。数据来自旧金山男性健康研究，仅包括自我认定为同性恋且参与了1985年、1987年和1989年纵向调查的男性（N = 452）。参与者按恋爱状况和HIV状况进行分层。1989年，HIV阳性男性处于主要恋爱关系中的可能性低于HIV阴性男性（分别为38.9%和52.9%）。此外，恋爱中的男性无保护肛交的比例高于单身男性（1989年分别为32.6%和17.0%）。研究发现了心理社会和行为变量方面的差异，这对旨在满足男同性恋群体需求的预防项目和心理健康服务具有重要意义。
