Burton NT, et al. - Factors associated with inconsistent condom use with known HIV-positive partners prior to participants’ diagnosis with HIV were delineated via interviews of newly HIV-diagnosed men who have sex with men (MSM) ages ≥13 years reporting knowingly having anal sex with HIV-positive partners conducted by New York City Health Department disease intervention specialists between June 2013 and October 2014. Surveyed MSM reported an engagement in high-risk behaviors, including condomless anal sex and drug or alcohol use during sex with persons known to be HIV-positive. The relationship feelings of love or emotional attachment remained the only significant predictor of inconsistent condom use after adjusting for confounding.
