N2 - This, the first major study of male homosexual behaviour in New Zealand to be published, reports demographic and behavioural characteristics of 159 homosexual and bisexual males in Auckland. While more respondents were in relationships than in comparable North American studies, fewer were in relationships of greater than one year's duration. Older respondents tended to be disproportionately European. Condom usage, intravenous drug behaviour, AIDS education and AIDS proximity were all investigated. Homosexual behaviour is described using four categories of risk of HIV transmission: low risk, uncertain risk, risk due to co‐factors, and high‐risk activity. The implications of these results for AIDS prevention education and the spread of AIDS in New Zealand are discussed. 1988 Public Health Association of Australia
