Among mal, heterosexual-intified MSM did not have a greater likelihood of reportg an STI diagnosis; rather, STI risk was ncentrated among gay and bisexual intified men who reported both male and female sexual partners.
For example, g the Natnal Health and Nutrnal Survey 2001–2006, Xu, Maya, and Markowz (2010a) showed that jt over 7% of women reported a same-sex sexual relatnship, of which 50% reported a heterosexual inty, 32% intified as bisexual, and 18% intify as gay or lbian. Usg the same data, Xu, Sternberg, and Markowz (2010b) showed roughly 5% of mal reported a same-sex relatnship, of which 40% intified as heterosexual, 22% intified as bisexual, and 38% intified as gay.
Some rearch has suggted that gay-MSM report more sexual partners and a higher prevalence of HIV than heterosexual-MSM (Wolski, Jon, Wasserman, & Smh, 2006; Xu et al., 2010b). (2009) exmed differenc self-reported STIs and STI risk by behavr and inty among Latos and found that, pared to heterosexual-MSW, heterosexual-MSM were more likely to report unprotected sex and had been diagnosed wh an STI, but there were no signifint differenc bisexual-MSMW and gay-MSM’s likelihood of reportg an STI pared to heterosexual-MSW.
