摘要
One-hundred-and-thirty-four individuals engaging in cottaging returned postal questionnaires. The sample was mainly urban and gay identified. Cottagers reported that cottaging was one way of meeting partners amongst a range of others they used. Most enjoyed it and felt in control of their cottaging. The majority of cottagers engaged in safer sexual activity, but there were a significant number who engaged in unsafe sexual activity last time they cottaged. Of those who had been voluntarily tested in the past and reported their serostatus, 23% were seropositive. Unsafe sexual activity was unrelated to whether tested or not, known serostatus or knowledge of the risks of transmission.
