Changes in disparities in estimated HIV incidence rates among black, hispanic/latino, and white men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States, 2010–2015
Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes Apr 12, 2019
McCree DH, et al. - Given a decline in the estimated annual HIV incidence rate in the United States for each transmission risk category during 2008–2015, except for men who have sex with men (MSM), researchers examined changes in disparities of HIV incidence among Black, Hispanic/Latino and White MSM. Results from all but one measure, Black-to-White rate difference, indicate an increase in racial/ethnic disparities; all results were not statistically significant. The Hispanic/Latino-to-White MSM incidence rate ratio, weighted index of disparity with the rate for White MSM as the referent group, and the population attributable proportion index increased statistically significantly. They emphasize eliminating racial/ethnic disparities among MSM to achieve a large reduction in overall annual HIV incidence among MSM. Overall annual HIV incidence among MSM could be reduced via removing social and structural causes of racial/ethnic disparities among MSM.
