AB The French National Survey on Sexual Behavior was used to identify
sociodemographic characteristics and sexual behavior of bisexually
active men, as distinct from both homosexually and heterosexually active
men. In regard to number of partners and frequency of unprotected
vaginal sex, bisexuals were similar to multipartnered heterosexuals. On
sociodemographic criteria, they differed from both homosexuals and
heterosexuals. Bisexual men reported fewer partners than homosexuals but
seemed more likely to engage in risk behavior related to the acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and they were less likely to have ever
had a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test. These results justify
prevention efforts specially adapted for bisexuals.
