This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of sexual violence in different stages of life and identify factors associated with sexual violence in adulthood among Brazilian MSM. We conducted an analysis with data from the study conducted in 2016 with 4,176 MSM from 12 Brazilian cities recruited through respondent-driven sampling (RDS), who answered a survey to a set of questions, among which some specific about sexual violence. Most participants were under 25 years old (56.5%), with more than 12 years of schooling (71.2%), mixed race (40.8%), single (86.2%), and belonging to some religion (50.9%). The lifetime prevalence of sexual violence was 20.3%. In our analyses, having experienced sexual violence in childhood and adolescence increased the odds of experiencing sexual violence in adulthood (prevalence ratio ratios [PRR] 4.93 (95% CI [1.99, 12.21]), as did experiencing physical violence (PRR 1.99; 95% CI [1.07, 3.71]) and receiving money for sex (PRR 2.26; 95% CI [1.17, 4.36]). In addition to violence in childhood and adolescence being risk factors for sexual violence in adulthood, we also observed that half of the sample experienced sexual violence repeatedly, characterizing sexual revictimization. It is important that health services are prepared to receive boys and men victims in order to reduce the chances of revictimization and other outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15579883221142173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,17]],"date-time":"2022-12-17T07:46:46Z","timestamp":1671263206000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Prevalence, Characteristics, and Factors Associated With Sexual Violence in Adulthood Among Brazilian MSM"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4659-4468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denis Gon\u00e7alves","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias M\u00e9dicas da Santa Casa de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Amelia","family":"Veras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias M\u00e9dicas da Santa Casa de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gustavo Santa Roza","family":"Saggese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias M\u00e9dicas da Santa Casa de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark Drew Crosland","family":"Guimar\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laio","family":"Magno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ci\u00eancias da Vida, Universidade do Estado da Bahia, Salvador, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ines","family":"Dourado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Sa\u00fade Coletiva, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Salvador, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raimunda Hermelinda","family":"Maia Macena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Cear\u00e1, Fortaleza, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9a Fachel","family":"Leal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Filosofia e Ci\u00eancias Humanas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carl","family":"Kendall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, New Orleans, LA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edgar","family":"M\u00e9rcham-Hamann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Sa\u00fade Coletiva, Universidade de Bras\u00edlia, Brasilia, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ximena Pamela D\u00edaz","family":"Berm\u00fadez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Sa\u00fade Coletiva, Universidade de Bras\u00edlia, Brasilia, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Knauth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Medicine, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ligia Regina","family":"Sansigolo Kerr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade Federal do Cear\u00e1, Fortaleza, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15579883221142173","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0099591"},{"key":"bibr2-15579883221142173","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.73.3.477"},{"key":"bibr3-15579883221142173","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00038-012-0426-1"},{"key":"bibr4-15579883221142173","unstructured":"Cerqueira D., Santa D., Coelho C.
