Abstract
Abstract:The imbalanced sex ratio in the Black community could contribute to sexual partner concurrency. This study examined the association between perceptions of the availability of heterosexual male partners (sex ratio) and heterosexual Black women's attitudes and experiences with concurrent sexual partnerships. We found that perceptions of a high sex ratio (more men relative to women) were positively associated with attitudes towards concurrent sexual partnerships and prevalence of sexual concurrency. Future research must account for contextual factors influencing sexual networks such as the sex ratio that affect behaviors and attitudes influencing Black women's risk for HIV infection.
