  • Differences between HIV-positive gay men who ‘frequently’, ‘sometimes’ or ‘never’ engage in unprotected anal intercourse with serononconcordant casual partners

    Patrick Rawstorne, Andrea Fogarty et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2007

    By measuring the actual number of risk acts engaged in by HIV-positive men participating in the Positive Health (PH) cohort study, this paper sets out to document the distribution of risk acts, to report on the proportion of acts of unprotected anal intercourse with casual (UAIC) partners that occurred between HIV-positive men (i.e. seroconcordant positive) and to examine the factors that differentiated men who 'frequently' compared with 'sometim…

  • Sex work and risk behaviour among HIV-negative gay men

    Garrett Prestage, Limin Mao et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2007

    Gay men who engage in sex work may be at increased risk through risk behaviour outside the context of sex work. Among participants in the Health in Men (HIM) cohort of HIV-seronegative gay men in Sydney, 19.7% had ever engaged in sex work. Five percent reported being paid for sex in a six-month period during the study (2001-2006); a minority (18.3%) of these current sex workers reported unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with clients and 62.0% re…

  • Differences between men who report frequent, occasional or no unprotected anal intercourse with casual partners among a cohort of HIV-seronegative gay men in Sydney, Australia

    Limin Mao, June Crawford et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2006

    Past research on unprotected anal intercourse with casual partners (UAIC) contrasts those who report no UAIC with any UAIC. This paper examines differences among three groups of men who had any UAIC on the basis of the number of UAIC acts reported in a six-month period, namely no UAIC (n = 507), occasional UAIC (1-5 acts, n = 251) and frequent UAIC (more than 5 acts, n = 148). The occasional UAIC group had values lying between those of the no- an…

  • Smoking and erectile dysfunction

    Christopher Millett, Li Ming Wen et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2006

    Erectile dysfunction is a significant health concern affecting around one in 10 Australian men aged 16-59 years. Current smoking is significantly associated with erectile dysfunction in Australian males. This association was strengthened as the number of cigarettes smoked increased. Health promotion programmes could use the link between smoking and erectile dysfunction to help reduce smoking levels among men

  • Contexts for last occasions of unprotected anal intercourse among HIV-negative gay men in Sydney

    Garrett Prestage, Paul Van de Ven et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    The objective of the paper was to compare encounters involving unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) and protected anal intercourse (PAI) among HIV-negative gay men in Sydney. Data were from those completing baseline face-to-face interviews to end June 2003 for the Health in Men open cohort of HIV-negative gay men in Sydney. The 1,148 participants ranged in age from 18 to 75 years (median = 36). Three hundred and fifty-two (30.7%) reported an occasi…

  • Trends and predictors of HIV-positive community attachment among PLWHA

    Patrick Rawstorne, Garrett Prestage et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    Communities most affected by HIV/AIDS have been instrumental in shaping Australia's responses to the threat of the epidemic. There are recent signs that levels of engagement in communities based around HIV-positivity have changed: a diminished sense of an AIDS crisis, the relative success of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and an increasing individualization of the HIV experience may be contributing to changes in the way HIV-communi…

  • Seroconversion in context

    Susan Kippax, Sean Slavin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2003

    This paper describes the accounts that homosexually active men give of their HIV seroconversion and interrogates these accounts for risk discourses. In particular, this paper asks whether the risk discourses of HIV researchers and educators are present in the men's narratives of their own seroconversion. Such discourses make reference to 'unsafe' sex--particularly the practice of unprotected anal intercourse, numbers of sexual partners or 'promis…

  • In a minority of gay men, sexual risk practice indicates strategic positioning for perceived risk reduction rather than unbridled sex

    Paul Van de Ven, Susan Kippax et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2002

    The aim of this analysis was to examine gay men's sexual risk practice to determine patterns of risk management. Ten cross-sectional surveys of gay men were conducted six-monthly from February 1996 to August 2000 at Sydney gay community social, sex-on-premises and sexual health sites (average n = 827). Every February during this period, five identical surveys were conducted at the annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day (average n = 1178). Amo…

  • In a minority of gay men, sexual risk practice indicates strategic positioning for perceived risk reduction rather than unbridled sex

  • Gay men's casual sex encounters

    Garrett Prestage, Paul Van de Ven et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2001

    Some gay men disclose their HIV serostatus to enable them to decide to discard condoms in at least some casual encounters. In this paper we consider under what circumstances this occurs. We draw on data from the Sydney Men and Sexual Health cohort study, including both structured and semi-structured interviews. We find that casual sexual encounters among gay men are complex events, involving a broad range of types of partner and circumstance. A s…
