Despite the promises to end HIV infection rates by 2030, several factors continue to contribute to rising HIV infection rates in sexual minority communities. In fact, the CDC predicts that more than half of gay and bisexual men of color will be infected in the coming years if an intervention is not staged. While much focus has been placed on PrEP access, less has been given to the social environment online, which many men who have sex with men use to find sexual partners. This environment, facilitated by the anonymity afforded to men online, is infected with anti-fat, anti-femme, anti-Black bias aimed at men constructed as less desirable and summed up in the phrase, “No fats, No femmes, and No Blacks or Asians.” Considering this online environment and the fact that past research suggests a relationship between weight and condom use, sex position and condom use and race and condom use, the researchers test all three pairings as well as a fourth hypothesis predicting if men who embody all three variables are also more likely to go condom-less. Findings from the analysis were mixed with men with “ideal body types” (slim, athletic and muscular built) and bottom men being more likely to have bareback on their profiles for sex behavior while men of color were more likely than Whites to have safe sex only. Most strikingly, regardless of body-type, sex position, or HIV status, Whites were more likely to have bareback on their profiles.

尽管有承诺到2030年结束艾滋病毒感染率的承诺，但仍有几个因素继续助长性少数族裔社区艾滋病毒感染率的上升。实际上，疾病预防控制中心（CDC）预测，如果不进行干预，未来几年将有一半以上的有色同性恋者和双性恋者被感染。尽管人们对PrEP的访问给予了很大关注，但对在线社会环境的关注却很少，许多与男性发生性关系的男性用来寻找性伴侣。在网上匿名给男性提供的便利下，这种环境感染了针对男性的抗脂肪，反女性，反黑人偏见，这种偏见被构造为不太理想，并概括为“无脂肪，无女性和无性”。黑人或亚洲人。” 考虑到这种在线环境以及过去的研究表明体重与安全套使用之间存在联系，性别和安全套的使用以及种族和安全套的使用，研究人员测试了所有这三个配对以及第四个假设，该假设预测了体现所有这三个变量的男性是否也更倾向于无避孕套。分析得出的结论与“理想体型”的男性（苗条，运动和肌肉发达）混合在一起，而下层男性更可能在性行为方面没有毛病，而有色男性比白人更有可能进行安全性行为只要。最引人注目的是，无论身型，性别或艾滋病毒感染状况如何，白人更容易在自己的轮廓上无毛。分析得出的结论与“理想体型”的男性（苗条，运动和肌肉发达）混合在一起，而下层男性更可能在性行为方面没有毛病，而有色男性比白人更有可能进行安全性行为只要。最引人注目的是，无论身型，性别或艾滋病毒感染状况如何，白人更容易在自己的轮廓上无毛。分析得出的结论与“理想体型”的男性（苗条，运动和肌肉发达）混合在一起，而下层男性更可能在性行为方面没有毛病，而有色男性比白人更有可能进行安全性行为只要。最为显着的是，无论身型，性别或艾滋病毒感染状况如何，白人更容易在自己的轮廓上无毛。
