Abstract

Young sexual and gender minority (SGM) people assigned male at birth who use substances are at elevated risk of HIV acquisition. This brief report leverages a large cohort of SGM people assigned male at birth to estimate substance use homophily (i.e., same-same substance use status) in sexual partnerships. We found substance use homophily in this sexual network for marijuana, poppers, methamphetamine, and hallucinogens but not heavy episodic drinking, cocaine, or ecstasy. These results suggest substance use is associated with sexual network structure and may increase HIV disparities between individuals who do and do not use substances.

估算出生时即被指定为男性的大批性与性别少数群体的性网络中的药物使用同源性。

年轻的性和性别少数群体（SGM）出生时被指定为男性，使用药物的人感染艾滋病毒的风险较高。这份简短的报告利用一大批出生时被指定为男性的SGM人群来估计性伙伴关系中的物质使用同质性（即相同的物质使用状况）。我们在性网络中发现了大麻、罂粟、甲基苯丙胺和致幻剂的物质使用同质性，但没有发现大量的间歇性饮酒、可卡因或摇头丸。这些结果表明，药物使用与性网络结构有关，并可能增加使用和不使用药物的个体之间的艾滋病毒差异。
