Risk Reduction Strategies Gay Men’s HIV Prevention 2010-2012 To ensure that HIV prevention, knowledge and practice within the NSW HIV sector reflects the current research and sexual practices of gay and other MSM, ACON and Positive Life NSW have devloped a paper on Risk Reduction Strategies. Consistent condom use is the most effective strategy for preventing HIV transmission and acquisition, and is particularly important with casual partners; Social research indicates that the majority of gay men consistently use condoms with casual partners; Evidence shows that gay men’s engagement in risk practices is influence by a complex range of factors including, circumstance, partner, substance use and mental health, and salience of HIV as a health threat, epidemiological and virological evidence; and Targeted prevention messages should therefore acknowledge complexity, context and incorporate information regarding the evidence base for risk reduction strategies to promote informed decisions.
