'Sexual scripts' help MSM discuss safer sex. Intervention study conducted at 13 sites.
A CDC-funded community project is teaching young men who have sex with men how to discuss and negotiate safer sex. The issue of communicating with partners about sex is an important part of an intervention strategy because some preliminary findings indicate that young MSM do not consistently include safer-sex negotiations and behavior in their 'sexual script'.
