What happens to a person’s sexual behavior after they are diagnosed with HIV? Gary Marks of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention presented data that showed a substantial decline in risky behavior.
He presented one study that found 39 percent of men having sex with men (MSM) had anal or insertive unprotected sex in the six months prior to learning their status. But in the six to 12 months after the diagnosis, just 16 percent of the men had unsafe sex – a 59 percent reduction.
Or put another way: 84 percent did not engage in risky behaviors.
Marks said that data -- coupled with an earlier national study that estimated 54 percent of the new infections in the United States involved transmission with HIV-positive people who did not know their status – represented more proof to aggressively ramp up HIV testing around the country.
Speaking about the sexual behavior of those who learn they are HIV positive, Marks said, ``We’re not seeing a relapse into unsafe sex here. … My tentative conclusion is that their behavior change after learning they are HIV positive seems to be enduring.’’
