ABSTRACT
Men who have sex with men (MSM) with a history of incarceration experience unique risk factors for HIV acquisition. The current study examined unique risk factors for HIV among MSM with a history of incarceration presenting to a sexually transmitted infections (STI) clinic. We analyzed self-reported behavioral data from clinical encounters among patients attending the clinic between January 2012 and April 2021. There were 17,221 unique visits, of which 5988 were MSM. Of these, 4.34% (N = 206) were MSM with a history of incarceration. MSM with a history of incarceration were significantly more likely to report a range of behavioral risk factors for HIV, yet also were significantly less likely to perceive themselves at risk for HIV. Future research and practice should develop culturally tailored biobehavioral HIV prevention services and consider embedding these programs within criminal justice settings to better reach this at-risk group.
