Abstract: Men who have sex with men continue to become infected with HIV at an alarming rate. Unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with an infected person is the sexual behavior most likely to cause HIV transmission. Therefore, UAI is regarded by current HIV prevention research as the benchmark definition of "high-risk sex." However, UAI is not always high-risk: Many men have UAI with a new partner only after taking steps to ensure that this partner is HIV-.;This study proposed a new way of scaling sexual risk. Using this method, the study examined whether attachment styles correlated with sexual risk and risk-reduction behavior in a convenience sample of 141 men. Such correlations were found, but they were statistically weak, probably because of the way the risk-scaling method was employed.
