![]() “This may be because whatever social, economic or cultural protective effects were shielding Asian GBM from HIV for the first 20 years of the epidemic are no longer operating,” the researchers comment. However the new study found comparable rates of diagnosed HIV and condomless sex to white British men, but higher rates of anal sex without a condom with at least two men in the past year (adjusted odds ratio 1.46). In previous studies, men of Indian, Pakistani and other Asian ethnicities were less likely to have HIV. They were more likely than white British men to report anal sex without a condom (adjusted odds ratio 1.24). After adjustment, they were more likely to be diagnosed with HIV (adjusted odds ratio 1.23), but not more likely to have been diagnosed in the year before the survey. Of men in this group who had ever taken an HIV test, 14.6% had diagnosed HIV.
