AB OBJECTIVE: To compare changes in sexual behavior occurred between 1991
and 1994 in heterosexuals bisexuals and homosexuals in the cities of
Lisbon an oporto. METHODS: Data was collected by giving drawn back
questionnaires to 5000 persons exiting night bars in 1991. The same
procedure in 1994. Convenience samples highlight sexual orientations
that are minor in societies. Comparisons are drawn using chi-sqr
statistics on 1991 and 1994 behaviors. RESULTS: Fidelity among
heterosexual and bisexual men has decreased. 66.1%-50% and 53.8% 28.6%
while it is stable among gay men 43%. Means of Sexual partners among the
3 groups has decreased. Use of condoms has increased among the groups
about 10% and those who never use it have decreased 12%. Prevalence of
DTS have increased in the 3 groups: 17%+ heteros. 28%+ bisexuals, 1%+ in
homosexuals. HIV testing, has been made by 55% of heteros. 40% more than
in 1991. 4% more in the bisexuals and 20% more testing among homosexual
men with 57% of testing done. Data comparing serostatus for HIV
prevalence among the 3 groups in analysis in 1991 and 1994 is still in
progress. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The social representations of AIDS
as a gay epidemic is a problematic distortion of reality and creates
barriers to conduct HIV/AIDS prevention programs targeting the
heterosexual population. Comparative data on 1991 and 1994 survey
suggests that heterosexual males and young males are more concerned
about sexual protection against AIDS. Increasing of Std's shows that
late prevention in the heterosexual's may exponencialize the spread of
the epidemic.
