THE WEEK, Page 22SOCIETYRISKY BUSINESS
How many heterosexuals in the U.S. are practicing safe sex?
Precious few, say scientists conducting the first large-scale
national sex survey since the original Kinsey study more than 40
years ago. Preliminary results of a telephone canvass of more
than 10,000 Americans show that up to 31% of heterosexuals have
put themselves at some level of risk for contracting AIDS over
the past five years, usually by having multiple sex partners or
unprotected sex with someone who is either HIV positive, a
blood-transfusion recipient, an intravenous drug user or
engaged in some other high-risk behavior.
