AB An ethnically diverse cohort (n = 174) of New York City gay men (aged
18-24) was studied to determine human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
prevalence and to document sexual behavior patterns. Blood tests of 87
men showed an HIV prevalence of 9%, but only 3% of the previously tested
men (n = 77) reported knowledge of a positive test result at baseline
interview. An annual HIV seroconversion rate of 2% was observed. Ethnic
minority men were more likely to test HIV positive. In addition, the
median number of both sexual episodes and sex partners, and the
proportion of men who engaged in anal intercourse, increased
significantly from 1990 to 1991. During this 2-year period, 91% of the
men engaged in unprotected receptive oral intercourse, and 37% engaged
in unprotected receptive anal intercourse.
