Sexual behaviour changes in a cohort of male sexual contacts of men with HIV disease: a three-year overview. Abstract Text:

C G Turner,

We describe the sexual behaviour reported by 240 seronegative and seropositive homosexual men over a 3-year period. Sexual partners of men with HIV disease were recruited into a prospective study between July 1984 and July 1985 and were monitored every 3 months thereafter. Data on sexual activities were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires. The cohort experienced a reduction in both the number of sexual partners and the volume of sexual activity. Reductions in the number of partners were early and dramatic. Changes in sexual activities were gradual and consistent in trend. The greatest reduction occurred in high risk activities (receptive and insertive anal intercourse). After 3 years of follow-up, only 10% of the men continue to be exposed to semen through unprotected receptive anal intercourse and 18% through unprotected receptive oral-genital sex. The proportion of men engaging in oral-genital contact and masturbation remained stable over the 3 years. Once informed of their serostatus, both seropositive and seronegative men reduced their high risk behaviour. The decline in rates of STDs and seroconversion confirmed that this cohort had indeed reduced their high risk behaviour.
