California anal sida

This paper describes the prevalence of anal sex among heterosexual adults in California and investigates the relationship of anal sex to other risk behaviors associated with AIDS and STDs. The study consisted of telephone interviews with a household probability sample of 3, California adults undersampling those age 44 and older. Younger respondents and those who were not married were more likely to report anal intercourse. Respondents who had anal sex were more likely to report standard AIDS risks and lifestyle risks associated with STDs, and to engage in recreational use of drugs and alcohol. Both anal sex and condom use during anal intercourse were poorly predicted by these demographic and risk variables.

Medical detectives are calling it the century's most virulent epidemic. It is as relentless as leukemia, as contagious as hepatitis, and its cause has eluded researchers for more than two years. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS, was first seen in homosexual men - particularly those who were promiscuous - but it has now struck so many different groups that its course cannot be predicted.

Condomless anal sex between male partners is the primary risk factor for HIV transmission among men who have sex with men MSM. Correlates of condomless anal sex have been well-studied in developed countries, but they have received less attention in lower-to-middle income countries LMIC , where MSM are often subject to stigma, discrimination, intolerance, and even the criminalization of same sex behavior. The present study examined correlates of condomless anal sex among MSM recruited in Tijuana, Mexico, with a focus on the role of public sex venues in relation to sexual risk behavior. Eligibility requirements were: biologically male, 18 years of age or older, resident of Tijuana, and self-reported anal or oral sex with a male partner in the past year. Participants completed an interviewer-administered, demographic and psychosocial survey, and were tested for HIV and syphilis.
