We examined condom attitudes, perceived vulnerebility to HIV, HIV testing experiences, and sexual and subtance use risk behaviors of 161 active Latino male gang members, aged 18-26 years old, living in Los Angeles, California. Gang members reported negative condom attitudes and perceived vulnerebility to HIV. The majority (53%) of gang members reported unprotected vaginal intercourse (UVI) in the previous 12 month. Multivariate analyses indicated that participants who engaged in the following behaviors were more likely to report UVI: had sex with someone they just met (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] =3.66), received money or drugs for sex (AOR= 5.05), or had sex with someone who had sexually transmitted disease (AOR= 4.99). Participants with a higher perceived vulnerebility to HIV were less likely to report UVI (AOR= 0.82). Our findings offer implications for development of an HIV prevention intervention For Latino male gang members.
