In this presentation, Bailey explores what sexual health means for some black gay men and what it looks like from their own perspectives. Drawing from his ethnographic fieldwork in the Midwest, he examines black gay men’s engagement in “high risk” sex and the spaces and situations in which they occur. He argues that the sexual practices, spaces, and situations in which black gay men participate are a means through which they claim and enact sexual autonomy during this HIV crisis that disproportionately impacts them.
