Abstract
Although many studies have been conducted on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and treatment among homeless bisexual and gay young men, few have focussed on their overall health status. This study was conducted as a comparative assessment of self-reported physical and mental health status between homeless bisexual and gay young adult men in NewYork City, United States. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 30 subjects in a homeless drop-in program. Bisexual men reported more physical and mental/behavioral health concerns than gay men. More large-scale research is needed to understand reasons how bisexual men accessed healthcare as compared to gay men.
 Key words: • Health • Homeless • Bisexual • Gay • Mental health • Physical health
