IntroductnA growg body of rearch suggts that lbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB)1 dividuals experience timate partner vlence (IPV) at rat that are equal to or higher than those among heterosexuals (Goldberg and Meyer, 2013, Nowski and Bowen, 2012, Walters et al., 2013).

2% of bisexual women reported any lifetime victimizatn of PA and 59% of gay men and 53% of bisexual men reported any lifetime victimizatn of PA (Walters et al., 2013) heterosexual dividuals PA often -occurs wh physil aggrsn (Follgstad, 2009) or is a precursor to physil aggrsn (Schumacher & Leonard, 2005), and PA perpetratn also predicts sexual aggrsn perpetratn (Ramisetty-Mikler, Caetano, & McGrath, 2007). Reports the early 1990’s dited that over one third of gay men and lbians were victims of terpersonal vlence and up to 94% experienced some type of victimizatn related to their sexual orientatn (Fassger, 1991; Natnal Gay and Lbian Task Force, 1990). It is possible that the perpetrators, who accs antigay aggrsive scripts wh such ease, will be driven to antigay aggrsn by the slightt suatnal cue or whim, will engage the acts wh the most recurrence, and will be least rponsive to terventn.

THE ASSOCIATN BETWEEN AIDS-RELATED STIGMA AND AGGRSN TOWARD GAY MEN AND LBIANS

Published fal eded form as:PMCID: PMC9080452NIHMSID: NIHMS1803051AbstractThis study examed whether self-intified race and prr ntact wh a gay man or lbian morate the associatn between AIDS-related stigma and aggrsn toward gay men and lbians when ntrollg for sexual prejudice.

Regrsn analys showed that AIDS-related stigma was posively associated wh aggrsn toward gay men and lbians among Whe men who reported no prr ntact, but not among Whe men who endorsed prr ntact and Black men regardls of prr ntact. Th, the lks between perpetrators’ AIDS-related stigma and their aggrsn toward gay men and lbians mer further Stigma and Aggrsn Toward Gay Men and LbiansStigma may be broadly unrstood as the extent to which the public harbors negative beliefs about a particular group, such as people livg wh HIV (PLWH), and the negative attus may affect how members of the valued group are treated (Goffman, 1963; Herek, Saha, & Burack, 2013; Parker & Aggleton, 2003).

RELATNAL AGGRSN AND VICTIMIZATN GAY MALE RELATNSHIPS: THE ROLE OF TERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA

Taken together, the stigma lerature suggts that a patriarchal view of potentially genr-nformg lbians who may be perceived as posg ltle or no threat to existg genr- and sexual orientatn-based social hierarchi is a separate issue om the ia of “gay men and lbians” or “gay people” tegorized together as threats to existg social hierarchi (e. Aggregatg attus toward gay men and lbians may be as rmative about the role and robtns of AIDS-related stigma or other stigmas as disaggregatg the attus, and rearch is need to exame this prejudice, a form of sexual stigma, has been fed as “a negative attu toward an dividual based on her or his membership a group fed by s members’ sexual attractns, behavrs, or orientatn” (Herek & McLemore, 2013, p.

Potential MoratorsBased on tergroup ntact theory (Allport, 1954; Dovid, Eller, & Hewstone, 2011), posive ntact wh gay men and lbians among heterosexual men should crease their likelihood of aggrsn toward gay men and lbians (Vcent, Parrott, & Peterson, 2014).

As such, a history of prr ntact wh gay men and lbians, broadly fed, should crease the associatn between AIDS-related stigma and aggrsn toward gay men and lbians among heterosexual to prr ntact, Blacks may generally be ls likely than Wh to show an associatn between AIDS-related stigma and aggrsn toward gay men and lbians.

In ncert wh tergroup ntact theory, this lerature suggts that AIDS-related stigma would be ls strongly associated wh prejudice-based aggrsn toward gay men and lbians among Black men than among Whe Prent StudyGiven the intified gaps the lerature, the purpose of this study was (1) to exame the associatn between AIDS-related stigma and aggrsn toward gay men and lbians and (2) to exame two theoretilly-based morators (race, prr ntact) of this associatn while ntrollg for sexual prejudice.

Specifilly, the associatn between AIDS-related stigma and aggrsn toward gay men and lbians was expected to be signifintly more posive among Whe men wh no prr ntact wh gay men and lbians than among Whe men who have had prr ntact wh gay men and lbians and Black men regardls of prr ntact.
