AB Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected gay and bisexual men (n =
609) randomly selected from two HIV outpatient clinics in Los Angeles
completed confidential, self-administered questionnaires at the clinics,
reporting sexual activities and disclosure during the previous 2 months.
Approximately 9% had engaged in unprotected insertive anal intercourse
with one or more partners. This activity was 3.27 times more likely to
have occurred with seropositive partners than with partners who were
seronegative or whose serostatus was unknown. Fourteen men (2.3% of
total sample) had engaged in unprotected insertive anal sex with 25
seronegative or unknown serostatus partners who were not informed of
their risk of infection. Thirty-three men (5.4% of total sample) had
engaged in this activity with 37 seropositive partners who were
informed. Clinicians and other health professionals can play an
important role in helping to control the HIV epidemic by discussing with
seropositive patients the importance of using safer sex and informing
sexual partners. Such discussion should include information about the
potentially negative health effects of unprotected sex between
seropositive persons.
