Sex party attendees reported that parties included both HIV-positive and HIV-negative men attendees also reported unprotected sex and limited access to condoms and lubricant. Findings indicate that 8.7% (n = 47) of the sample had attended a sex party 3 months prior to assessment. The current analysis examines sex party attendance and behavior in a sample of 540 emergent adult gay, bisexual, and other YMSM in New York City, ages 18-29 years. Very little information exists with regard to sex party behaviors in young men who have sex with men (YMSM), often defined as men ranging in age from 13 to 29 years.
