Bananastock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — A new study reveals that decisions about condom use among gay couples vary by race, Health Day reports.
Researchers found that, although black gay couples tend to practice safe sex more often, they don’t talk about it. White gay couples, on the other hand, often do the opposite. Although they discuss condoms, they are more likely to have unprotected sex, researchers noted.
Researchers examined the behaviors of male couples living in San Francisco and New York City. They said the findings of the study are significant since gay men account for the majority of new HIV cases in the United States,
The study was expected to be presented at the International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C.
