title: [Consultations concerning venereal diseases and AIDS at the weekend outpatient clinic for homosexual men: developments 1983-1987].
abstract: In the Amsterdam gay weekend clinic the trends in numbers and sorts of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and reasons for consultation about AIDS from 1983 till 1988 were assessed. A strong decrease in STD consultations and diagnoses was seen, especially concerning urethral and anorectal gonorrhoea. At the same time, consultations about AIDS strongly increased. These data support the hypothesis that gay men have changed their sexual behaviour.
