Concurrency and other sexual risk behaviors among black young adults in a southeastern city
Wednesday, June 15, 2016Mario Chen, PhD, MSKate MacQueen, PhD, MPHBlack Americans continue to have higher rates of HIV than other races. This paper identifies risk behaviors across four types of sexual partners: steady, casual, one-night stand and baby's parent. The authors also examined risk behaviors in concurrent and nonconcurrent partnerships and the combinations of partners involved in concurrent partnerships. HIV prevention programs should address the risks of concurrency and factors that discourage condom use, especially with steady partners with whom condom use is particularly low.
