AB OBJECTIVES. The National AIDS Behavioral Survey (1990-1992) of
heterosexual adults (18-49 years) measured human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) risk factors, condom use, and HIV antibody testing, with a focus
on major high-risk cities. METHODS. A longitudinal survey was conducted.
RESULTS. There was little reduction in the overall prevalence of HIV
risk factors in the national or high-risk cities cohorts over time.
Despite this picture of stability, approximately 39% of the population
at risk for HIV because of multiple sexual partners turns over annually.
There was little change in HIV test-seeking or in consistent condom use
with primary sexual partners. Although the majority of at-risk
respondents used condoms sporadically or not at all (65%), a significant
increase in condom use was found among those reporting multiple sexual
partners in both waves, particularly among Black heterosexuals. Data
from other surveys and condom sales nationally support the findings.
CONCLUSIONS. There is a need for a series of surveys in this area to
assess the reliability of the present findings and to monitor the
general US population's response to prevention programs.
