 AB    Among a sample of 1,334 urban heterosexuals aged 18-25 from the
       1990-1991 National AIDS Behavioral Surveys, 24% report having had more
       than one sexual partner during the past year. Young men are more than
       twice as likely as young women, and unmarried respondents are eight
       times as likely as married respondents, to have multiple partners. A
       multiple regression analysis of the interaction between race or
       ethnicity and education indicates that among whites, young people with
       12 or more years of education are four times as likely to have multiple
       partners as are those with less than a high school education; among
       Hispanics and blacks, educational level is not related to having more
       than one partner. Among those with multiple partners, approximately 40%
       never use condoms with primary or secondary partners, and condom use
       decreases with increasing number of partners.
