Sexual minority individuals experience barriers to receiving equitable health care. Research also indicates that young men who have sex with men (YMSM), particularly young men of color, have limited engagement in the HIV care continuum and there are significant disparities across the continuum. This study aims to uncover how providers can engage YMSM of color in all forms of care, including primary care and HIV prevention through an HIV prevention continuum. This qualitative study reports data from the Healthy Young Men's Cohort Study; a total of 49 YMSM participated in the eight focus groups. This study provides a description of YMSM's overall health concerns, experiences with health care, and under what circumstances YMSM seek care. We then present a model describing the salient characteristics of a HIV prevention continuum for YMSM of color and provide clear areas for education, intervention, and policy change to support better overall health for YMSM of color.

让年轻人参与艾滋病预防和护理工作：有色人种与男人发生性关系的经验

性少数群体个人在获得公平医疗保健方面遇到障碍。研究还表明，与男性发生性关系的年轻人，特别是有色人种，在艾滋病护理连续体中参与度有限，并且整个连续体之间存在显着差异。这项研究的目的是揭示提供者如何使YMSM颜色参与所有形式的护理，包括通过HIV预防连续体进行的初级保健和HIV预防。该定性研究报告了“健康青年男性队列研究”的数据；共有49个基督教青年会参加了八个焦点小组。这项研究描述了YMSM的整体健康问题，医疗保健经验以及YMSM在什么情况下寻求护理。
