MANY NEW YORKERS DON'T USE CONDOMS

Most New Yorkers with multiple sexual partners do not know whether they are infected with HIV, according to the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. More than 40 percent of those with multiple sex partners did not use condoms the last time they had sex, the New York Times reports. "I think there is a degree of complacency, of HIV precaution burnout," says the city's health commissioner, Dr. Thomas R. Frieden. "Sex in the city needs to get safer, and HIV testing needs to be a routine part of medical care," Frieden says. "Anyone who's ever had sex, anyone who's ever used IV drugs, needs to know their HIV status."

As I recall the article, it said that of men who reported having sex with other men, 45 percent reported using a condom the last time they had sex.
