@entity1 @entity2953 @entity146
OBJECTIVES: We examined Hispanic @entity1 's recent risky and protective @entity146 with female partners by acculturation. METHODS: Using the 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth, we performed bivariate analyses to compare acculturation groups (Hispanic Spanish-speaking immigrants, Hispanic English-speaking immigrants, Hispanic US natives, and non-Hispanic White @entity1 ) by demographics and recent @entity146 with @entity1 . Multivariable logistic regression models for @entity146 by acculturation group were adjusted for demographics. RESULTS: Compared with Hispanic Spanish-speaking immigrants, non-Hispanic White @entity1 were less likely to report exchange of money or drugs for sex (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]   =   0.3; 95% confidence interval [CI]   =   0.1, 0.9), but were also less likely to report condom use at last vaginal (AOR   =   0.6; 95% CI   =   0.4, 0.8) and anal sex (AOR   =   0.4; 95% CI   =   0.3, 0.7). Hispanic US natives were less likely to report condom use at last vaginal sex than were Spanish-speaking immigrants (AOR   =   0.6; 95% CI   =   0.4, 0.8). English- and Spanish-speaking immigrants did not differ in risky or protective @entity146 . CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that targeted interventions focusing on unique sexual risks and sociodemographic differences by acculturation level, particularly nativity, may be helpful for preventing @entity2953 .
