New Yorkers are not practicing safe sex, which affects the disease and sexual health situation in the city. Reports shows that they need to have a fewer partners and more condomns. We say no sex outside of marriage.

Fewer Partners and More Condoms Would Decrease Risk of Infections, including HIV. More than One Third of Men Who Have Sex with Men and Who Have Multiple Sex Partners Did Not Use Condoms Consistently.

New Yorkers with multiple sex partners, and low rates of condom use, are putting themselves at risk of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, or unplanned pregnancy. According to a new Health Department report - Are New Yorkers Having Safe Sex? - rates of unsafe sexual behavior, particularly among men who have sex with men, continue at a high rate.
