Cross-sectional study of sexual behaviour and health of gay and bisexual men in suburban Sydney, New South Wales, Australia: contrasts between sex venue and clinic attendees

Catriona Ooi, Basil Donovan, David A. Lewis Men attending sex-on-premises-venues (SOPV: premises for anonymous sex between men) are at risk of STIs and HIV. We compare men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) attending a SOPV and those attending a traditional sexual health clinic and find SOPV attenders were more likely to have a female partner. The men attending the SOPV were also more likely to have some sexually transmissible infections. These findings would be of use in health promotion messaging and future design of health services.
