An ethnically diverse sample ( 69.7% men of colour) of HIV-seropositive MSM from the New York City and San Francisco metropolitan areas were recruited from a variety of social settings. While only 27.0% of the participants were recruited from PSEs (public sex environments where men 'cruise' for potential sex partners, such as parks) and CSEs ( commercial sex environments where an admission is paid for entrance, such as bathhouses and sex clubs), 49.6% reported attending PSEs and 40.7% reported attending CSEs. Only a minority of participants from the full sample reported sexual behaviours that would have placed a partner at highest risk for HIV seroconversion. However, differences between those who frequented CSEs and those who did not emerged on several psychosocial factors ( sexual sensation seeking, depression, perceived responsibility towards protecting sexual partners from HIV infection), sexual risk behaviours ( unprotected oral and anal sex) and types of recreational drugs used. Fewer differences were found between those who frequented PSEs and those who did not.
