Lifetime sexual behaviors were examined among two samples of predominantly minority, male adolescents in New York City aged 12 to 18 (M = 16.3), believed to be at high risk for HIV infection: 59 runaway males in two residential shelters and 60 males attending a community agency (HMI) for gay and bisexual youths. Interviews regarding psychosexual milestones indicated that 93% of these youths had engaged in oral, anal or vaginal intercourse and/or anilingus, with a median of 11.0 female partners among runaway males and a median of 7.0 male partners among HMI males. Both groups initiated sexual activity at a relatively early mean age of 12.6 years. Each group reported a unique developmental sequence of psychosexual milestones. Consistent condom use was reported by 13% of the youths. One quarter of the youths reported involvement in prostitution. These findings detail the need for AIDS prevention programs for these youths.
