Popular and well-liked members of a community who systematically endorse and recommend risk-reduction behaviour can influence the sexual-risk practices of others in their social networks and bring about population-level changes in risk behaviour.

A community-level HIV prevention program in a midsized Oregon community effectively led to HIV risk reduction and to reach risk-taking young gay men, HIV prevention activities must be embedded in social activities and community life.

Serologic studies do not support the role of CMV, EBV, or HSV-1 in HIV infection but do suggest that HSv-2 infection is a risk factor for subsequent or concurrent HIV infection.

The prevalence of HIV infection is high among this young population of homosexual and bisexual men, particularly among young African-American men, and the high rates of HIV-related risk behaviors suggest a considerable risk for HIV transmission in this population.

It is essential to integrate behavior change counseling into HIV treatment programs and to temper optimism concerning treatment advances with recognition that the threat of HIV/AIDS remains great.

HIV infection rates in young homosexual men in San Francisco are lower than those in the early 1980s; however, the rate of infection in these men, most of whom became sexually active after awareness of AIDS had become widespread, threatens to continue the epidemic in the younger generation at a level not far below that of a decade ago.

Interest in vaccine trials and seroincidence in high-risk homosexual men are sufficiently high to initiate efficacy trials once a suitable candidate vaccine is identified and risk factors for seroconversion highlight important area for development of ancillary intervention strategies.

A small number of MSM continued to present to NYC-DOH STD clinics and to leave with a diagnosed STD at a time when safe sex was aggressively promoted, and the biological and behavioral associations between GUD and gonorrhea and HIV seroprevalence warrant continued investigation.
