Hidden in plain sight: Making a case for heterosexual Black college women being identified as a high-risk population for HIV infection.
Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology 2019 January
OBJECTIVE: Black emerging adult women (ages 18-25 years) are among the fastest growing demographics of HIV infection, second only to men who have sex with men. Black women account for nine of 10 new HIV cases, whereas 84% of these cases are reported to be from heterosexual contact with infected male partners. Heterosexual Black college women (BCW) have been nearly ignored in the HIV literature despite having shared (e.g., risky alcohol use, multiple and concurrent sex partnerships, and inconsistent condom use) and unique (e.g., segregating dating practices and high sexually transmitted infection rates) risk factors when compared with broader college student demographics.
METHOD: This conceptual paper uses a multiple risk factor framework to underscore shared and unique risk factors that may work to increase the potential HIV infection risk burden in this understudied population.
CONCLUSIONS: Prevention and intervention implications and recommendations for future research that have potential to impact the ways in which colleges, universities, and researchers engage this population are presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
