I would be very interest to see your evidence for all that Musket.

What is your opinion of this NAT report?

"Given the importance of partnership
patterns to HIV transmission, we should
look at what we know about such patterns
amongst MSM in the UK. The 2007
Gay Men's Sex Survey states:
'As every year, respondents were
very varied in their number of sexual
partners. Among the men who had a
male sex partner in the last year, 21.4%
indicated they had one male partner
only; 27.6% had two, three or four
male partners; 24.4% had between five
and twelve male partners; 13.4% had
between thirteen and 29 male partners;
and the remaining 13.4% had thirty or
more male partners in the last year'. 17
John Imrie also presented data on
numbers of sexual partners amongst
HIV positive MSM at the NAT seminar
which found a median of 12 partners in
the year. 18 25% of the men reported 35
or more sexual partners in the last year.
These 89 HIV positive men with more
than 35 partners a year also accounted
for nearly 80% of all reported sexual
contacts in the sample (11,077 of the
total of 13,969 sexual contacts).
