Young Asian and Pacific Islander (API) men who have sex with men (MSM) are at high risk for HIV, but little is known about their risk behavior. We examined {he patterns and predictors of unprotected anal intercourse among 253 API MSM aged 15-25 recruited from gay-identified venues in Seattle, Washington, and San Diego, California, from May to August 1999. Overall, 33% reported unprotected anal intercourse in the past 3 months. Multivariate analyses found that unprotected anal intercourse was associated with self-identifying as gay or bisexual, having multiple sexual partners, having sex with a steady partner, having been tested for HIV, and not perceiving peer norms supportive of safer sex. Young API MSM engage in unprotected sex at high rates.
