520			_aInterest in men's sexual behavior in the past decade is associated with their role in the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Worldwide more men than women are infected with disease. It is predicted that on the first quarter of the 21st century, HIV infections among women because their dominant position in many societies usually gives them the power to decide when and with whom to have sex, and whether or not protection against the disease will be used. Men particularly those that are engaged in risky sexual and drug-taking behavior are more likely to infest women and other men. Does the sexual behavior of urban Filipino men predispose them to acquiring and spreading HIV/AIDS? This book attempts to provide some answers to this question by examining the level of HIV/AIDS sexual risk and drug-taking behavior of general population males in three major cities in the Philippines. The results reported here were obtained from a survey that was conducted among 3,615 men aged 15-44 during the last quarter of 1999 until early 2000. The data described the men's marriage and live-in partnership, alcohol and drug-taking behavior, sexual experience, condom use, awareness and experiences of sexually-transmitted diseases, awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS transmission and protection, HIV/AIDS information sources, and exposure to intervention programs. In addition, the date gathered were compared with the outcomes of previous Filipino male sexual behavior surveys. This publication is of special interest not only to social scientists but also to policy makers, health agencies and non-government organizations that are engaged in the prevention and management of HIV/AIDS.
