Discuss in detail HIV harm reduction in g-a-y men.
Risk reduction behaviours is common among homosexual men suggests that each of the risk reduction behaviours examined offered substantial but incomplete protection against HIV infection compared with other patterns of UAI. Having said that, consistent condom use (no UAI) was reported in 40% of the follow-up periods, and this remains the most effective risk reduction behaviour. The results strongly suggest that policy makers, educators and researchers need to engage with the realities under which UAI is occurring, as well as targeting UAI itself. The relatively low incidence rates of HIV observed in this cohort, despite high overall levels of UAI, and the fact that Sydney is one of very few places in the developed world that has not recently seen an increase in HIV notifications in homosexual men suggest that risk reduction behaviours can be associated with some success in containing HIV at the population level.
