 AB    An ethnically diverse cohort (n = 174) of New York City gay men (aged
       18-24) was studied to determine human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
       prevalence and to document sexual behavior patterns. Blood tests of 87
       men showed an HIV prevalence of 9%, but only 3% of the previously tested
       men (n = 77) reported knowledge of a positive test result at baseline
       interview. An annual HIV seroconversion rate of 2% was observed. Ethnic
       minority men were more likely to test HIV positive. In addition, the
       median number of both sexual episodes and sex partners, and the
       proportion of men who engaged in anal intercourse, increased
       significantly from 1990 to 1991. During this 2-year period, 91% of the
       men engaged in unprotected receptive oral intercourse, and 37% engaged
       in unprotected receptive anal intercourse.
