Abstract

Despite drastic declines in HIV in the United States (US) (Holtgrave, Hall, Rhodes, & Wolitski, 2008), communities of color and men who have sex with men (MSM) are still disproportionately infected. Nationally, MSM comprise 48% of people living with HIV (CDC, 2008a For MSM of all age groups, 35% of new infections were in black MSM (CDC, 2008b). Epidemiological studies of MSM demonstrate that rates of HIV infection have been greater for black MSM as compared with other racial or ethnic groups of MSM (Harawa et al., 2004; Lemp et al., 1994; Mansergh et al., 2002; CDC, 2001). In fact, between 2001 and 2004, black MSM were the only subgroup of blacks for whom new HIV diagnoses actually increased rather than decreased (CDC, 2005a). HIV seroprevalence rates of black MSM in the US have been shown analogous to those in some resource-limited countries (CDC, 2002; CDC, 2005b).
