AB The aim of this paper is to study sociodemographic and lifestyle
differences between different AIDS/HIV risk groups in the general
population. Respondents reporting more than three sexual partners in the
previous five years, dichotomized into condom and non-condom users, are
contrasted with the remaining respondents. The data consists of 7,717
interviews collected by telephone in the metropolitan areas of London,
Glasgow and Edinburgh. The data show that while age and marital status
are strongly related to sexual behaviours, there is evidence of
individuals engaging in risky behaviours in all age and marital status
groups. The relationship between sexual behaviours and occupational
status is weak; there is a considerable and consistent difference
between sexually more active and sexually less active respondents with
regard to healthy 'lifestyle' indicators, such as smoking, alcohol use,
exercise and safety behaviour, but this difference is less strong with
regard to condom use. The paper supports the conclusion that in
concentrating resources on the young and on unmarried individuals large
numbers of individuals at an elevated risk for AIDS/HIV in other
population groups will be missed. The strong relationships between
indicators of health lifestyle and sexual behaviour seem to be a factor
to be considered in the development of future AIDS/HIV-related health
interventions.
