 AB    Data from a random sample of 4,658 heterosexual Hispanics from 23
       high-risk cities in the 1990-1991 National AIDS Behavioral Surveys
       reveal that 11% of Hispanics have had multiple partners in the past
       year-17% of men and 4% of women. The study shows a higher proportion of
       multiple sexual partners in the past year among Hispanic men who are
       unmarried (31%), Cuban (28%), aged 18-29 (25%), better educated (21%),
       of lower income (23%) and highly acculturated (20%). Among Hispanic
       women, marital status, age, Hispanic subgroup and level of acculturation
       are significant predictors of having multiple partners. Among highly
       acculturated Hispanic men, income, Hispanic subgroup and marital status
       are significant predictors of having multiple partners; among less
       acculturated Hispanic men, marital status is the only significant
       predictor. Only 20% of Hispanics with multiple partners report using a
       condom regularly with their primary partner, and 29% report regular
       condom use with their secondary partner. Among men, condom use tends to
       decrease as the number of partners increases.
