- Abstract: Young Black men who have sex with men's (YBMSM) attitudes and personal beliefs about themselves and their risk for HIV can be modified as a result of experiences with racism and HIV stigma. In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 HIV-negative YBMSM, aged 18–24, in North Carolina and Maryland. Data were thematically analyzed to capture participants' experiences and thoughts related to stigmatizing experiences and their perception of risk for HIV. Participants reported experiencing HIV stigmatizing and blatant racist commentary related to their identities as YBMSM. Participants described diverse strategies to distance themselves from these negative stereotypes and decrease their sexual risk for HIV. The findings highlight that HIV stigma and racial stereotypes are one of the many types of discrimination that YBMSM experience within the Black and gay communities and in society; leading to psychological distress and an altered perception of self and sexual risk.

- Abstract: Resumen: Las actitudes y creencias personales sobre sí mismos y su riesgo de contraer el VIH en los jóvenes negros que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres (YBMSM) pueden ser modificadas como resultado de las experiencias con el racismo y el estigma del VIH. Se realizaron entrevistas cualitativas en profundidad con 25 YBMSM VIH negativos, de 18 a 24 años de edad, en Carolina del Norte y Maryland. Los datos fueron analizados temáticamente para capturar las experiencias de los participantes y los pensamientos relacionados con las experiencias de estigmatización y su percepción del riesgo de contraer el VIH. Los participantes informaron haber experimentado estigmatización del VIH y comentarios racistas flagrantes relacionados con sus identidades como YBMSM. Los participantes describieron diversas estrategias para distanciarse de estos estereotipos negativos y disminuir su riesgo sexual de contraer el VIH. Los hallazgos resaltan que el estigma y los estereotipos raciales del VIH son uno de los muchos tipos de discriminación que YBMSM experimenta en la sociedad y dentro de las comunidades negra y homosexuales; conduciendo a la angustia psicológica y una percepción alterada de riesgo personal y sexual.
