| Abstract |
The role men who have sex with men and women (MSMW) play in heterosexual HIV transmission is not well understood. We analyzed baseline data from Project MIX, a behavioral intervention study of substance-using men who have sex with men (MSM), and identified correlates of unprotected vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, or both with women (UVAI). Approximately 10 % (n = 194) of the men reported vaginal sex, anal sex, or both with a woman; of these substance-using MSMW, 66 % (129) reported UVAI. Among substance-using MSMW, multivariate analyses found unemployment relative to full/part-time employment (OR = 2.28; 95 % CI 1.01, 5.17), having a primary female partner relative to no primary female partner (OR = 3.44; CI 1.4, 8.46), and higher levels of treatment optimism (OR = 1.73; 95 % CI 1.18, 2.54) increased odds of UVAI. Strong feelings of connection to a same-race gay community (OR = 0.71; 95 % CI 0.56, 0.91) and Viagra use (OR = 0.31; 95 % CI 0.10, 0.95) decreased odds of UVAI. This work suggests that although the proportion of substance-using MSM who also have sex with women is low, these men engage in unprotected sex with women, particularly with primary female partners. This work highlights the need for further research with the substance using MSMW population to inform HIV prevention interventions specifically for MSMW. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 September 2013.
All research outputs
#6,571,573
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#1,025
of 3,566 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,900
of 180,745 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#12
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,566 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 180,745 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
