Sex Parties among Urban MSM: An Emerging Culture and HIV Risk Environment

Abstract: Private sex parties are an emerging risk environment for HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM). In 2009, 103 participants who reported attending at least one sex party in Massachusetts in the prior 12 months completed an in-depth, interviewer-administered quantitative assessment.

For providers and researchers, our study provided added detail on behavioral risks associated with the venues where GBMSM meet their sex partners.…”
