Arch Sex Behav

We sought to identify and compare correlates of condomless receptive anal intercourse with HIV-positive or unknown status partners (CRAI) for younger (<\u200925\ua0years) and older ( 65\u200925\ua0years) Hispanic/Latino, black/African-American, and white men who have sex with men (MSM). Baseline data from the Evaluation of Rapid HIV Self-Testing among MSM Project (eSTAMP), a randomized controlled trial with MSM (n\u2009=\u20092665, analytical sample size\u2009=\u20092421), were used. Potential correlates included participants' sociodemographic characteristics and HIV status as well as the characteristics of participants' partners. Younger Hispanic/Latino and black men were most likely to report having older sex partners ( 65\u200950% of partners being at least 5\ua0years older), and having older partners was a significant correlate of CRAI among younger Hispanic/Latino and white men. Regardless of race/ethnicity, not knowing one's HIV status was a significant correlate of CRAI among younger men, whereas having a black sex partner was a significant correlate among older men. HIV prevention initiatives could address these and other correlates specific to race/ethnicity groups to target their prevention resources and messaging.20192021-08-01T00:00:00ZCC999999/ImCDC/Intramural CDC HHS/United StatesCDC contract 200-2011-41989/CC/CDC HHS/United States31845149PMC7295651791
