 AB    OBJECTIVES: Identification of some contextual factors associated with
       unprotected anal intercourse. METHOD AND SAMPLE: Two volunteer samples
       were interviewed by telephone. One (Project Male-Call) in May-June 1992
       with 2583 men nationwide who had had male-to-male sex during the
       preceding five years. A further 3906 non gay community attached men were
       interviewed (BANGAR Project). Data were collected regarding sexual
       practice and its social and physical contexts. ANALYSIS AND RESULTS:
       Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were carried out to
       investigate the correlates of unprotected anal intercourse. Unprotected
       intercourse is more likely to occur in a 'regular' relationship; in a
       'casual' relationship where the partner is known and trusted; in the
       home; when sexual partners are sought in straight bars or through
       friends. CONCLUSION: Among non gay community attached men unprotected
       intercourse is not so much a characteristic of the person as something
       which occurs in certain personal and social contexts. This leads to
       suggestions for education and prevention strategies.
