“…The percentage of HI Latino MSMW found in our sample increases the generalizability of our results. Although HI Latino MSMW represented only 6% of the final sample, this percentage was greater than estimates of behavioral bisexuality in studies in Mexico and U.S. national samples (Izazola-Licea et al, 2003;Jeffries & Dodge, 2007;Mosher, Chandra, & Jones, 2005;Smith, 1991). The figure was slightly lower than that estimated by previous studies with Latino men in the United States (Montgomery et al, 2003;Wolitski et al, 2006), but this may have resulted from our use of anal sex as a defining criterion for sexual orientation, as opposed to including both anal and oral sex as sufficient conditions.…”

This study examined the reach and impact of a social marketing intervention to reduce HIV risk among heterosexually identified (HI) Latino men who have sex with men and women (MSMW). Repeated cross-sectional intercept surveys were conducted in selected community venues during and after the campaign with 1,137 HI Latino men. Of them, 6% were classified as HI Latino MSMW. On average, 85.9% of the heterosexual respondents and 86.8% of the HI MSMW subsample reported exposure to the campaign. Responses to the campaign included having made an appointment for a male health exam that included HIV testing and using condoms. Campaign exposure was significantly associated with HIV testing behavior and intentions and with knowledge of where to get tested. The campaign reached its underserved target audience and stimulated preventive behaviors. Social marketing represents a promising approach for HIV prevention among HI Latinos, in general, and HI Latino MSMW, in particular. HOMBRES SANOS CAMPAGN EXPOSURE 125 BACKGROUND

“…[16][17][18][19] Some have argued that MSMW with a non-"gay" identity may be at higher risk of HIV infection because of a lack of peer support and limited access to prevention services that are available to MSM who are more open about their sexuality. [20] 4…”

Key messages highlighting the main features of the paper:1. Bisexual behaviour was common among this sample of men who seek sex with men in Bangalore.2. Men who reported having sex with both men and women (MSMW) reported lower rates of HIV-related sexual risk behaviours with male partners than men reporting sex with men only (MSMO).3. Inconsistent condom use by MSMW with both male and, in particular, female partners indicates a potential means of HIV transmission into the general population.

“…The association between bisexual behavior and HIV transmission has been widely examined in non-Asian contexts (Adimora and Fullilove 2006;Boulton et al 1992;Hightow et al 2006;Izazola-Licea et al 2003). In the United States, relatively high levels of bisexual activity among HIV-infected African American and Hispanic men have raised concerns about increasing HIV transmission risk to female sex partners who may not be aware of their partners' bisexual behavior (Montgomery et al 2003).…”

HIV prevalence and associated risk behaviors were examined among Thai bisexually active men (MSMW, n = 450) and men who have sex with men only (MSM-only, n = 1,125). Cross sectional venue-day-time sampling was used to collect data. Chi-square and logistic regression were used to identify HIV risk factors. HIV prevalence was 8.2% among MSMW and 21.2% among MSM-only. Consistent condom use with male partners was higher among MSMW (77.6%) than MSM-only (62.9%), and lower with female partners (44.4%). Lack of family confidant, migration, concern about acquiring HIV infection, and self-reported STD were associated with HIV prevalence among MSMW. Older age, lower educational level, residing in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, living away from family, recruitment from a sauna, increased frequency of visiting the surveyed venue, practicing receptive or both receptive and insertive anal intercourse, inconsistent condom use with male paying partners, and a history of drug use were associated with HIV prevalence in MSM-only.
