| | Resumo: | This study assesses the role of factors associated with sexual risk behaviour and HIV infection in a sample of males in S„o Paulo, Brazil. In particular it considers: a) the influence of HIV serostatus on sexual behaviour and b) the influence of sexual identity on sexual behaviour. This generates the following comparison groups: a) HIV seronegative and HIV seropositive males and b) heterosexuals, homosexuals and bisexuals. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in S„o Paulo, Brazil, from August 1994 to February 1995. It examined a sample of 236 participants, including both HIV seronegative (n=150) and HIV seropositive (n=86) males recruited from public health centres. For HIV seropositive participants, the inclusion criterion was to have never experienced any opportunistic infections. For HIV seronegative participants, the criterion was to have received a negative HIV test result directly before interview. Information was obtained by verbal administration of a questionnaire, questions relating to demographic aspects, HIV and AIDS related knowledge, sexual identity, alcohol and drug use, sexual behaviour, and perceived risk of HIV infection.
