Journal Article
Rural–Urban Differences in HIV Sexual Risk Behaviors and HIV Service Utilization Among Adolescent Sexual Minority Males in the United States
2024
Overview
In the United States, HIV prevalence is increasing in rural areas, specifically among rural adolescent sexual minority males (ASMM). However, it is unclear what HIV sexual risk behaviors rural ASMM engage in and what HIV preventative services they utilize. This study aimed to (1) document the lifetime HIV sexual risk behaviors and service utilization of rural ASMM and (2) compare rural–urban differences in the prevalence of HIV sexual risk behaviors and service utilization. We analyzed data collected from 1615 ASMM who participated in a baseline survey for an online HIV prevention program from April 2018 to June 2020. We compared the prevalence of lifetime HIV sexual risk behaviors and HIV healthcare utilization among rural and urban participants via descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, linear and logistic regressions, and zero-inflated Poisson regressions. These analyses indicated that rural ASMM were more likely than urban ASMM to engage in condomless sex when they had anal sex. Rural ASMM could benefit from offline and online evidence-based HIV prevention interventions, especially interventions that increase condom use.
