■与男性发生性关系的年轻男性和年轻的跨性别女性(YMSM-YTW)使用在线空间与越来越规律性的性伴侣见面,研究表明,网上种族主义的经历模仿了现实世界。
■我们分析了2016-2017年芝加哥YMSM-YTW报告的用于满足性伴侣的基于网络和移动应用程序的种族和种族差异。
■要求对643名年龄在16-29岁之间的YMSM-YTW进行种族和种族多样化的样本,以命名在过去6个月中用于寻找性伴侣的网站或移动应用程序,以及提供有关同一时期性伴侣关系的信息。我们使用逻辑回归来评估种族和种族与(1)使用任何网站或移动应用程序寻找性伴侣的调整后的关联,(2)使用“社交网络”寻找性伴侣,与主要用于约会或联播的网站或移动应用程序相比,(3)使用特定网站或移动应用程序,(4)报告在网站或移动应用程序用户中成功地在线与性伴侣会面。
■虽然大多数YMSM-YTW(454/643,70.6%)使用网站或移动应用程序来寻找性伴侣,我们发现,黑人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW报告这样做的可能性显著较小(将白人非西班牙裔与黑人非西班牙裔进行比较:调整比值比[aOR]1.74,95%CI1.10-2.76).黑人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW更有可能使用社交网站寻找性伴侣(将白人非西班牙裔与黑人非西班牙裔进行比较:aOR0.20,95%CI0.11-0.37),尽管只有三分之一(149/454,32.8%)的所有应用程序使用参与者报告了这一情况。使用的各个应用程序因种族和种族而异,Grindr,Tinder,而Scruff在白人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW中更为常见(93/123,75.6%;72/123,58.5%;30/123,24.4%,分别)比黑人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW(65/178,36.5%;25/178,14%;和4/178,2.2%,分别)和Jack\'d和Facebook在黑人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW中更为常见(105/178,59%和64/178,36%,分别)比白人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW(6/123,4.9%和8/123,6.5%,分别)。最后,我们发现,虽然有一半(230/454,50.7%)的YMSM-YTW应用程序用户报告说在应用程序上成功结识了新的性伴侣,与白人非西班牙裔应用程序用户相比,黑人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW应用程序用户这样做的可能性较小(将白人非西班牙裔与黑人非西班牙裔进行比较:aOR2.46,95%CI1.50-4.05)。
■我们发现,黑人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW与网站或移动应用程序接触,并系统地发现性伴侣与白人非西班牙裔YMSM-YTW不同。我们的发现使人们对种族和族裔性混合模式的产生有了更深入的了解,并对芝加哥YMSM-YTW中性传播感染的传播产生了影响。
UNASSIGNED: Young men who have sex with men and young transgender women (YMSM-YTW) use online spaces to meet sexual partners with increasing regularity, and research shows that experiences of racism online mimics the real world.
UNASSIGNED: We analyzed differences by race and ethnicity in web-based and mobile apps used to meet sexual partners as reported by
Chicago-based YMSM-YTW in 2016-2017.
UNASSIGNED: A racially and ethnically diverse sample of 643 YMSM-YTW aged 16-29 years were asked to name websites or mobile apps used to seek a sexual partner in the prior 6 months, as well as provide information about sexual partnerships from the same period. We used logistic regression to assess the adjusted association of race and ethnicity with (1) use of any website or mobile apps to find a sexual partner, (2) use of a \"social network\" to find a sexual partner compared to websites or mobile apps predominantly used for dating or hookups, (3) use of specific websites or mobile apps, and (4) reporting successfully meeting a sexual partner online among website or mobile app users.
UNASSIGNED: While most YMSM-YTW (454/643, 70.6%) used websites or mobile apps to find sexual partners, we found that Black non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW were significantly less likely to report doing so (comparing White non-Hispanic to Black non-Hispanic: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.74, 95% CI 1.10-2.76). Black non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW were more likely to have used a social network site to find a sexual partner (comparing White non-Hispanic to Black non-Hispanic: aOR 0.20, 95% CI 0.11-0.37), though this was only reported by one-third (149/454, 32.8%) of all app-using participants. Individual apps used varied by race and ethnicity, with Grindr, Tinder, and Scruff being more common among White non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW (93/123, 75.6%; 72/123, 58.5%; and 30/123, 24.4%, respectively) than among Black non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW (65/178, 36.5%; 25/178, 14%; and 4/178, 2.2%, respectively) and Jack\'d and Facebook being more common among Black non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW (105/178, 59% and 64/178, 36%, respectively) than among White non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW (6/123, 4.9% and 8/123, 6.5%, respectively). Finally, we found that while half (230/454, 50.7%) of YMSM-YTW app users reported successfully meeting a new sexual partner on an app, Black non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW app users were less likely to have done so than White non-Hispanic app users (comparing White non-Hispanic to Black non-Hispanic: aOR 2.46, 95% CI 1.50-4.05).
UNASSIGNED: We found that Black non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW engaged with websites or mobile apps and found sexual partners systematically differently than White non-Hispanic YMSM-YTW. Our findings give a deeper understanding of how racial and ethnic sexual mixing patterns arise and have implications for the spread of sexually transmitted infections among
Chicago\'s YMSM-YTW.
