A New York City Health Department study presented last month at the 12th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston reports that HIV-positive women in New York City are more likely to have unprotected sex than infected gay or heterosexual men.
The anonymous computer-assisted study surveyed 1,106 HIV patients in 2004, of whom more than 750 reported being sexually active. Of women, 307 were sexually active, of whom 144, or almost half, said they had engaged in unsafe sex in the previous 12 months. Of 341
heterosexual men, 38 percent had unsafe sex the previous year. Fifty-one of 137 gay men-- 37 percent-- reported unprotected sex with men.
