Condom use increased among men who have sex with men between 1987-1991, especially with casual partners. Individual behaviors varied, with some reducing and others increasing risk practices.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • HIV prevention efforts have focused on promoting safer sex practices among men who have sex with men.
  • Understanding trends in condom use is crucial for effective public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze changes in condom use among homosexually active men over time.
  • To examine individual-level behavioral shifts in condom use and risk behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized cross-sectional and longitudinal data from Project SIGMA, a study of male homosexual behavior and HIV.
  • Conducted two waves of interviews in 1987/8 and 1991.

Main Results:

  • Aggregate data showed increased condom use for anal intercourse, particularly with casual partners.

  • Longitudinal analysis revealed significant individual changes; nearly a third of men altered their practices, with half increasing risk behaviors and half decreasing them.
  • Condom use for fellatio remained low, but other barrier use for hygiene/pleasure increased.

    • Conclusions:

    • Condom use trends among men who have sex with men show complex individual-level changes.
    • Findings have implications for targeted condom promotion and HIV prevention strategies.
