The research examined HIV-related sexual risk, HIV and sexually transmitted infection prevalence and intervention exposures between men who have sex with men and women and men who have sex with men only. The findings indicate that concurrent sexual partnerships with men and women pose a risk of HIV transmission or acquisition for men who have sex with men and their male and female partners. All subgroups of this key population require tailored information and skills to consistently use condoms with different types of partners of either gender.
