Nagin's group-based modeling was used to identify trajectories for 237 men from the Pitt Men's Study with respect to the number of male intercourse partners from age 50.0 to 59.5. Three distinct trajectory groups were identified. Most men (69.2%) had a median of two sexual partners in the past 6 months across the age range of the study. A smaller group (19.4%) had low or no sex partners. The smallest group (11.4%) had 30 or more sexual partners in the past 6 months at age 50. The groups were statistically different with respect to race, HIV status, drug use (marijuana, poppers, crack cocaine, and Viagra), the number of unprotected anal sex partners, and personal attitudes towards sex.© 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. date: 2012-04-01 date_type: published publication: AIDS and Behavior volume: 16 number: 3 pagerange: 590 - 598 refereed: TRUE issn: 1090-7165 centers: cen_other_lgbthealth id_number: 10.1007/s10461-011-9916-z citation: Lim, SH and Christen, CL and Marshal, MP and Stall, RD and Markovic, N and Kim, KH and Silvestre, AJ (2012) Middle-aged and older men who have sex with men exhibit multiple trajectories with respect to the number of sexual partners.
