Victimization was defined as self-reported lifetime or recent (in the previous 12\u00a0months) experience of physical or verbal violence motivated by sexual orientation or gender identity. Rapid HIV and syphilis tests determined serostatus. We conducted descriptive statistics to summarize the sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics and the prevalence of victimization and compared groups using the Student <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test or Mann\u2013Whitney <jats:italic>U<\/jats:italic> test and chi-square test, as appropriate.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Overall, 40.3% of participants reported lifetime bias-motivated physical or verbal violence, and 11.7% reported recent victimization. Recent victimization contexts more frequently reported were street\/neighborhood (67.9%) and workplace\/school (35.5%). Victimization was associated with younger age (mean age: 26.5 vs 30.2, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), being born in Brazil or other American countries, or being 14 or younger at their anal intercourse with a man debut (19.5% vs. 11.0%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
