| This session will investigate a range of HIV risk behaviors and prevention strategies relevant to men who have sex with men (MSM), including youth and adolescents, as well as young males who engage in commercial sex work. Three of these presentations will explore aspects of the phenomenon of "Gay Circuit Parties" throughout the United States; these events attract thousands of gay MSM and are presumed to be venues for the practice of risk behaviors that are presumed to lead to HIV infection | ||||
