SUMMARY
Report discusses data collected from bars, bathhouses, community events and programs targeting gay men of color and male participants of the National Minority AIDS Council Conference of AIDS in Dallas, Texas in 1998. More than half the sample reported at least one incident of unprotected anal sex in the past month. Logistic regression analysis identified the following predictors of unprotected anal sex among the sample: sexual sensations seeking; not having a defined gay identity; being in a sexually exclusive relationship; and, for those born overseas, length of stay in the United States.
