Abstract
While individual determinants of HIV risk among MSM have been widely studied there is limited understanding of how relational characteristics determine sexual risk Based on data collected among 300 South African men who have sex with men MSM and using cluster analysis this study developed a typology of four partnership types the “Race–Economic Similar” “Age–Race–Economic Discordant” “Nonregular Neighbourhood” and “Familiar” partnership types Support for the meaningfulness of these types was found through associations of these partnership types with participant characteristics and characteristics of the last anal sex event Furthermore in a multivariate analysis only partnership type independently predicted whether the last anal sex event was unprotected Findings of the study illustrate the importance of taking into account the relational context in understanding unprotected sexual practices and present ways to target intervention efforts as well as identify relationship specific determinants of unprotected sexAunque los determinantes de riesgos individuales de VIH en HSH han sido ampliamente estudiados existe un conocimiento limitado de como las características de las relaciones de parejas determinan el riesgo sexual Basado en los datos recolectados entre 300 hombres sudafricanos que tienen sexo con hombres HSH y usando un análisis de agrupamiento este estudio elaboró una tipología de cuatro tipos de relaciones “RacialEconómica Similar” “EdadRacialEconómica Discordante” “No del mismo Barrio” y “Familiar” Lo validez de estos tipos de relaciones fue encontrada a través de las asociaciones de estas parejas con las características de los participantes y características del último evento de sexo anal Además en el análisis multivariado solamente el tipo de pareja predijo de forma independiente si el último evento de sexo anal fue sin protección Los resultados de este estudio ilustran la importancia de tener en cuenta el contexto de la relación de pareja en la comprensión de las prácticas sexuales sin protección y presenta maneras de fijar esfuerzos de intervención así como identificar determinantes de las relaciones específicas del sexo sin protecciónThe study was supported by a grant from amfAR 106973 Principal Investigator Theo Sandfort PhD with additional support from a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies P30MH43520 Principal Investigator Anke E Ehrhardt PhD This research was further supported by a training grant from the National Institute of Mental Health T32MH19139 Behavioral Sciences Research in HIV Infection Principal Investigator Theo Sandfort PhD We would like to thank the men who participated in the study and OUT Wellbeing Pretoria in particular Dawie Nel and Senku Maimane for support in the implementation of the study
