Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to understand how the association between internalized homonegativity (IH) and sexual risk behavior differed in Spain (N = 3,336) and Turkey (N = 550). Methods: We used multigroup structural equation modeling. Results: HIV and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) knowledge mediated the relationship between IH and sexual risk behavior among MSM in Spain, but not among men in Turkey. Higher HIV/PrEP knowledge was associated with higher sexual risk behavior among MSM in Spain, while among MSM in Turkey the association was in the opposite direction. Conclusions: The meaning of safe-sex may differ across contexts, and this should be taken into consideration when tailoring HIV prevention programs.

内化同性恋消极情绪对西班牙和土耳其男男性行为者性危险行为影响的比较

摘要目的:本研究旨在了解西班牙(N = 3336)和土耳其(N = 550)的内化同性恋阴性(IH)与性风险行为之间的关系。方法:采用多组结构方程模型。结果:艾滋病毒和暴露前预防(PrEP)知识介导了西班牙MSM中IH与性危险行为之间的关系，但在土耳其的男性中没有。在西班牙的男男性接触者中，较高的HIV/PrEP知识与较高的性风险行为相关，而在土耳其的男男性接触者中，这种关联则相反。结论:安全性行为的含义可能因环境而异，在制定艾滋病预防方案时应考虑到这一点。
