Abstract

Adolescent Latino men who have sex with men (LMSM) in the U.S. are disproportionately impacted by HIV. However, there has been limited focus on their HIV prevention and risk behaviors. In this study, we examine the rates of HIV testing and explore the significant demographic and healthcare factors that influence HIV prevention among adolescent LMSM. The analysis for this study utilized data collected during the baseline assessment of SMART, a pragmatic trial aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of an online HIV prevention intervention for adolescent LMSM (N = 524). Only 35.5% of participants had ever had an HIV test in their lifetime. Rates of testing increased among adolescent LMSM who had a doctor with whom they spoke about their sexual health (odds ratio: 4.0; 95% confidence interval: 2.1–8.4; P < 0.001) or HIV testing (odds ratio: 5.8; 95% confidence interval: 3.1–10.7; P < 0.001). Out of the 61 participants who took part in the survey conducted in Spanish, only 26% reported ever having an HIV test. Additionally, 24.5% stated that they had discussed their sexual orientation with a doctor, and only 8.2% had undergone HIV testing. Spanish-speaking adolescents who completed the SMART survey were less likely to openly discuss their sexual orientation or sexual health with most people or have a doctor with whom they discussed these topics, compared to those who completed the survey in English. These findings suggest that Spanish-speaking adolescent LMSM may face obstacles in accessing HIV prevention services in the U.S.

Resumen

Los adolescentes latinos hombres que tienen sexo con otros hombres (LHSH) tienen mayor probabilidad de recibir tratamiento para el VIH más tarde en comparación con todos los casos nuevos del VIH en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, se ha estudiado muy poco sus prácticas de prevención de VIH o prácticas de riesgo, que similar a la de jóvenes no latinos, es determinada por múltiples factores. En este estudio describimos las tasas de pruebas para el VIH e identificamos los factores lingüísticos, individuales, familiares, escolares y de cuidado de salud que influencian a los adolescentes LHSH. Los datos provinieron de la evaluación inicial para SMART, un ensayo práctico de una intervención en línea para prevenir el VIH entre adolescentes LHSH (N = 524). Las medidas incluían la experiencia de hacerse la prueba del VIH a lo largo de la vida, factores de aculturación, datos demográficos, prácticas sexuales, educación sobre el VIH en la escuela y el hogar, comunicación sobre salud sexual con los médicos, conocimiento sobre el VIH y actitudes de riesgo. Solo 35.5% de los participantes se han realizado la prueba de VIH al menos una vez en su vida. La tasa de pruebas del VIH fue más alta entre los adolescentes LHSH que indicaron haber hablado con su médico sobre su salud sexual (odds ratio: 4.0; intervalo de confianza del 95%: 2.1–8.4; P < 0.001) o de la prueba del VIH (odds ratio: 5.8; intervalo de confianza del 95%: 3.1–10.7; P < 0.001). Más de 60 participantes completaron la encuesta en español. De estos, pocos reportaron alguna vez haberse hecho la prueba del HIV (26%), tener un médico con quien hablar sobre su orientación sexual (24.5%) o hablar sobre la prueba del VIH (8.2%). Estas cifras son significativamente más bajas que las obtenidas en la encuesta en inglés. Este estudio es uno de los primeros en evaluar los factores para hacerse la prueba del VIH entre adolescentes latinos que hablan inglés y español con edades entre 13 y 18 años. Los adolescentes latinos que completaron SMART en español tuvieron menos probabilidad de haber compartido sobre su orientación sexual con la mayoría de las personas o tener un médico con quien hablar sobre su orientación sexual o su salud sexual, en comparación con aquellos que completaron SMART en inglés, lo que sugiere que los jóvenes latinos que prefieren comunicarse en español pueden experimentar mayores barreras para acceder a los servicios de prevención del VIH en los Estados Unidos.
