Early syphilis cases attributable to homosexual transmission declined in DeKalb County, Georgia, from 191 in 1981 to 97 in 1985. This decline occurred only among White men with same sex partners (SSP); early syphilis among Black men with same sex partners has risen. This pattern is consistent with the hypothesis that changes in sexual behavior instituted by White men at risk of acquiring HTLV-III/LAV infection may have resulted in decreased incidence of early syphilis among those men
