May 2, 2006 News Release: RAND Study Finds Some HIV-Positive People Deliberately Choose Sexual Abstinence.

http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP20061235.html Dec 31, 2005 Dec 31, 2005

<p>Little is known about whether lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth hide their orientation from health care providers, which can potentially lead to missed opportunities in identifying individual health risks and provide appropriate screening and counseling. Results indicate that physicians had not discussed sexuality with most LGB youth in the study and that most youth would welcome such a discussion.</p>

http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP20060606.html Dec 31, 2005 Dec 31, 2005

<p>Perhaps because HIV is more common in gay communities, abstinence choices may be more closely linked to a higher sense of responsibility for reducing transmission among gay/bisexual men, and their illness may be less of an impediment to sexual activity.</p>

<p>Prior studies have found that partner abuse is related to risky sexual behavior. However, few studies have explored gender, sexual orientation, or substance use differences in this association, especially among people with HIV. The authors examined data from the Risk and Prevention survey from the HIV Cost and Services Utilization Study (HCSUS) sample on 726 sexually-active individuals in three gender/orientation groups.</p>

<p>Among people receiving medical care for HIV, use of complementary care provided by alternative therapists is associated with several sociodemographic, clinical, and attitudinal variables. Evaluation of the coordination of provider-based alternative and standard medical care is needed.</p>

<p>This study sought to determine prevalence of and risk factors for nonfatal recent overdose among street-recruited injection heroin users. Targeted interventions that decrease risk for overdose are urgently needed.</p>
