HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men: Current Progress and Future Directions

  • Chapter
The Health of Sexual Minorities

Abstract

The social demography of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic among Black men in the United States has changed over the last two decades. Black men who have sex with men (MSM) now account for the largest proportion (30%) of all Black men diagnosed with HIV (CDC, 2004a). Moreover, Black men constitute a sizable proportion (27%) of all MSM diagnosed with HIV (CDC, 2004a,b). Similarly, most studies of MSM have reported that rates of HIV infection are higher among Black MSM than all other racial or ethnic MSM groups (Easterbrook et al., 1993; Lemp et al., 1994; Valleroy et al., 2000; CDC, 2001; Mansergh et al., 2002; Harawa et al., 2004).
