- <p> How many heterosexuals in the U.S. are practicing safe sex?
- Precious few, say scientists conducting the first large-scale
- national sex survey since the original Kinsey study more than 40
- years ago. Preliminary results of a telephone canvass of more
- than 10,000 Americans show that up to 31% of heterosexuals have
- put themselves at some level of risk for contracting AIDS over
- the past five years, usually by having multiple sex partners or
- unprotected sex with someone who is either HIV positive, a
- blood-transfusion recipient, an intravenous drug user or
- engaged in some other high-risk behavior.
