The uptake of safer sexual practices by homosexually active men in the light of AIDS has led to downward revisions of the predicted spread of HIV and a decline in the prevalence of rectal gonorrhoea and other sexually transmitted diseases. We report a reversal of this trend in 1988-89 in terms of the proportion of men engaging in anal intercourse and the numbers of partners with whom it occurred.
