The impact of AIDS on gay male sexual behavior patterns in New York City.

J L Martin

A sample of 745 gay men, ages 20 to 65, were interviewed in 1985 as part of an effort to determine the impact of the AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) epidemic on the non-ill but at-risk community. Measured in terms of the number of different sexual partners, sexual activity was reported to have declined by 78 per cent since hearing about AIDS. The frequency of sexual episodes involving the exchange of body fluids and mucous membrane contact declined by 70 per cent, and condom use during anal intercourse increased from 1.5 to 20 per cent. Abstinence from gay sex did not change over time.
