“…In these two regions, the total number of people living with HIV continues to increase, in great part due to the life-prolonging effects of antiret- Approximately three quarters of women newly diagnosed with HIV were infected during unprotected sex (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2006b), often with male partners who were infected when injecting drugs, or during commercial sex or sex with other men (McMahon et al, 2004;Valleroy et al, 2004;Montgomery et al, 2003 . This indicates that other factors (possibly including the prevalence of other sexually transmitted infections) could be aggravating the risks of HIV infection in African-American men who have sex with men.…”

“…9 Although widely speculated, evidence to support the notion that the sexual practices of MSMW account for much of the HIV prevalence among heterosexual women is lacking. For example, Adimora and Fullilove report that only about 5% of men report ever engaging in sex with another man, and less than 1% of sexually active men report bisexual behavior in the past year.…”

“…33 Research suggests that, compared to white men, black and Hispanic men who have sex with men selfidentify less often as gay and more often as bisexual. 5,6,9,30,33 Black and Latino MSMW are likely, therefore, to be more difficult to reach through gay-identified organizations and social venues such as bars, or gay-oriented advertisements.…”

Differences in Sexual Identity, Risk Practices, and Sex Partners between Bisexual Men and Other Men among a Low-Income Drug-Using Sample

et al. 2009

Men who have sex with men and women (MSMW) represent an important target population for understanding the spread of HIV because of the inherent bridging aspect of their sexual behavior. Despite their potential to spread HIV between gender groups, relatively little recent data have been reported about this population as a subgroup distinct from men who have sex with men only. This paper analyzes data from the Chicago site of Sexual Acquisition and Transmission of HIV Cooperative Agreement Program to characterize 343 MSMW in terms of their demographics, drug use, sexual risk behavior, sexual identity, and sex partners. Results show the MSMW sample to be extremely disadvantaged; to have high rates of drug use, including injection and crack use; to report more female than male sex partners; to not differ from gay and heterosexual men in rates of condom use; and, for the most part, to report sexual identities that are consistent with their sex behavior. MSMW represent an important subpopulation in the HIV epidemic and should be targeted for risk reduction interventions.

“…. Several studies have indicated that this percentage may be higher among black MSM (Montgomery, Mokotoff, Gentry, & Blair, 2003;Sanchez et al, 2006). In general, MSMW are less likely to be HIV-positive than MSMO, but more likely to be HIV-positive than men who have sex with only women (Levin, Koopman, Aral, Holmes, & Foxman, 2009;Zule et al, 2009).…”

HIV Acquisition and Transmission Potential Among African American Men Who Have Sex with Men and Women in Three U.S. Cities

et al. 2017

Black men who have sex with men and women (BMSMW) are at increased HIV risk, but few efficacious interventions meet their unique needs. Three HIV prevention interventions were evaluated with a common protocol. Baseline data were pooled to describe sexual behavior involving transmission risk with male, female, and male-to-female transgender partners and identify factors associated with transmission risk. BMSMW from Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Chicago who reported sexual risk and bisexual behavior in the past year were recruited via modified chain referral sampling and community recruitment. Baseline assessments were conducted via audio computer-assisted interview and sexual behaviors assessed over the past 3 months. From
