Selected findings from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) of homosexual/bisexual men are reviewed. High risk sexual behaviors, the use of drugs/alcohol, condom use, and behavior change are addressed in a public health context. The potential significance of education/behavior modification programs as strategies for public health intervention emerges from these findings. Until there is a realistic timetable for vaccine availability and more effective chemotherapy, the MACS provides the opportunity to continue to study the effects of behavior change on the AIDS epidemic.
本文回顾了多中心艾滋病队列研究（MACS）针对男同性恋者/双性恋男性的部分研究结果。在公共卫生背景下，探讨了高危性行为、药物/酒精使用、避孕套使用以及行为改变等问题。这些研究结果凸显了教育/行为矫正项目作为公共卫生干预策略的潜在重要性。在出现切实可行的疫苗供应时间表和更有效的化疗方法之前，MACS提供了继续研究行为改变对艾滋病流行影响的机会。
