  2. Background • In 2010, Hispanic migrants accounted for 38% of the total Hispanic population in the U.S. • Relatively little is known about the high-risk sexual behaviors that may place Hispanic migrant men who have sex with men (HM-MSM) at risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). • Methods • During 2005-2007, 2576 Hispanic migrants surveyed at three community-based organizations offering services to migrant communities in Georgia, Connecticut, and Wisconsin. • Demographic characteristics, sexual risk behaviors, and migration patternsassociated with bacterial STD diagnoses (syphilis, Chlamydia and gonorrhea) in the past 12 months were analyzed.

  3. Results Table 1: HM-MSM Risk Behavior (N=302)

  4. Results • Conclusions • The prevalence of sexual risk behaviors and STD diagnoses were high in this population • STD prevention interventions tailored to non-gay identifying MSM are needed for HM-MSM • Additional research is needed to understand factors contributing to participation in exchange sex among HM-MSM
