The year 2006 marks the 25th anniversary of the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS. Initially diag- nosed in the United States among men who have sex with men (MSM),1HIV’s impact on MSM in the U.S. and other developed countries led to swift grass-roots responses from the gay community and eventu- ally to targeted interventions from the public health sector to address high-risk behaviors such as unprotected anal intercourse and substance use. These interventions, implemented in the 1980s and 1990s, resulted in significant reductions in sexual risk and the prevention of new HIV infections in MSM.
