Data from the National Working Positive Coalition - Vocational Development and Employment Needs Survey was used to describe demographic and human service use characteristics of a sample of 227 Latino male respondents living with HIV with focus on racial identification comparisons. Findings make several contributions to understanding how racial identification varies within this population including how it may relate to factors such as affectional/sexual orientation, key outcomes (e.g., employment, homelessness), and to potential incentives and barriers to human service use. Statistically significant results include that those who racially identified as Black were more likely to be unemployed and to have experienced homelessness, and those who racially identified as “Latino” were more likely to have received substance abuse services. Implications for human service professionals, study limitations, and suggestions for future research are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
