Among the 6,175 male participants, 51% were HIV+, 27% were MSM (18% minorities), and 36% were hazardous drinkers or diagnosed with alcohol abuse/dependence. Minority MSM were more likely to have multiple sex partners, and be under the influence of alcohol/drugs during sex, compared to all other groups. They were also more likely to have hazardous drinking and alcohol abuse/dependence. Moreover, HIV+ minority MSM were more likely to have higher median HIV RNA. In adjusted logistic regressions, minority MSM, compared to white non-MSM, were more likely to have multiple sex partners (AOR=6.3[4.4, 9.0]), be under the influence of alcohol/drugs during sex (AOR=2.1[1.4, 3.0]) and report non-condom use (AOR=1.1 [0.8, 1.4]). Among HIV+, minority MSM were more likely to have a detectable viral load (HIVRNA≥500 copies/mL) (AOR=1.5 [1.0, 2.3]).
