Abstract
THE INCIDENCE of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the United States during the 1990s has fallen to levels below the peak of the mid-1980s,1-3 but much of this decline reflects trends in white homosexual men older than 30 years.2 Because high-risk sexual behaviors and drug use are usually initiated in adolescence or young adulthood,4 the epidemic continues to be propagated in young people.Keywords
