Men with HIV still having unsafe sex

The Medical Research Council questioned 3,500 gay men and found that a third of gay men who know they are HIV positive are still having unprotected sex. They suggest that this situation is a consequence of inadequate education.

According to the survey, those who knew they were HIV positive were statistically more likely to have unprotected sex than those who did not.

The researchers are calling for a more targeted approach to prevention - promoting condom use even among men who are regularly tested, and urging those who report high risk behavior to be tested more than once a year.
