Reducing the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission among sexually active teenagers and young adults is a major public health concern. 1 Young people are advised to select potential sexual partners from groups at lower risk for HIV, 2 in part by asking about partners’ risk histories. 3 Unfortunately, this advice overlooks the possibility that people may lie about their risk history. 4In a sample of 18-to-25-year-old students attending colleges in southern California (n= 665), we found strong evidence that undermines faith in questioning partners as an effective primary strategy of risk reduction. The young adults, of whom 422 were sexually active, completed anonymous 18-page questionnaires assessing sexual behavior, HIV-related risk reduction, and their experiences with deception when dating.
