 AB    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of HIV infection in
       homo/bisexual males in a public STD clinic, and the possible
       modifications of the risk behaviors. METHODS: From 01.10.89 through
       31.12.93 we have collected data on all homo/bisexual males who consulted
       in the STD clinic. HIV testing and counseling was offered. We analyze
       rish behaviors, condom use, HIV testing and results in these five years.
       RESULTS: We attended 820 consultations of 577 homo/bisexuals males.
       13.9% refused the practice HIV test. The overall HIV seroprevalence was
       8.5%, 12/184 clients seroconverted during this period (6.5/100
       persons/year). Unsafe sex predicted HIV infection (OR = 2.14,95%
       CI:1.07-4.37). TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: The HIV
       seroprevalence in homosexual males in the South of Spain is lower than
       in others european countries. Changes in the risk behaviors have been
       reached, but it's necessary to maintain preventive interventions in this
       population.
