Mortgage discrimination at the intersection of race and sexual orientation and its association with HIV incidence among sexual minority men in the U.S.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeStructural racism and homonegativity influence access to housing and shape the HIV risk environment. We assess disparities in mortgage loan denial and evaluate the association of intersectional mortgage discrimination with HIV incidence among sexual minority men (SMM) across U.S. counties.
methodsUsing loan applications from 2018-2022, we conducted a decomposition analysis to measure national disparities in mortgage denial by race and sexual orientation. We then constructed a county-level measure of mortgage discrimination against Black same-sex male couples using mixed-effects logistic regression, and we evaluated its association with HIV incidence among SMM in 2022 using Poisson regression adjusted for county-level covariates.
resultsMortgage loan denial was 14.9 percentage points higher among Black same-sex couples (22.0 %) than White heterosexual couples (7.1 %). HIV incidence rate among SMM was 26 % [95 % CI: 22, 30] higher in counties in the highest versus lowest tertile of intersectional mortgage discrimination.
conclusionsContemporary forces of structural racism and homonegativity continue to influence housing access, evidenced by higher loan denial for Black same-sex male couples versus White heterosexual couples. Such discrimination may contribute to the population-level burden of HIV. Anti-discrimination policies that increase access to housing for Black sexual minority men may aid in addressing HIV inequities.
