“…Moreover, internalized homophobia may increase stress and psychosocial problems for bisexual and homosexual youth (Remafedi, 1990). Studies have shown that nonheterosexual adolescents are at greater risk for various negative health outcomes, including increased prevalence of substance abuse (Coleman, 1982), sexual abuse (Simari & Baskin, 1982), sexually transmitted diseases (Zenilman, 1988), running away and prostitution (Bidwell & Deisher, 1991), eating disorders (French, Story, Remafedi, Resnick, & Blum, 1996), and suicide (Bell & Weinberg, 1978; Jay & Young 1979, Remafedi, 1987b; Saghir & Robins, 1973).…”

Self‐report of sexual orientation and sexual behavior was compared for 12,978 reservation‐based American‐Indian and 11,356 rural Anglo‐American adolescents. Findings included a significantly higher prevalence of homosexual, bisexual, and unsure responses among American Indians. However, a larger non‐response rate for American‐Indian adolescents raises questions about the cultural relevance of the survey method, and underscores the need for development of more culturally sensitive research tools and methods.

“…Worries about the interpretation of behavior change in the cohort studies have become urgent, however, in light of a small body of evidence suggesting that gay adolescents have changed their behavior less than older gay men (Hays, Kegeles, & Coates, 1990; Remafedi, 1988; Valdiserri et al, 1988; Zenilman, 1988). Perhaps the most frightening example is a preliminary report from the Young Men's Survey conducted by the San Francisco Department of Public Health (Hays, Kegeles, & Coates, 1991).…”

In 1991, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) rescinded funding for a survey of adolescent health risk-taking behavior. The decision overturned a series of scientific and ethical peer and administrative reviews of the research, which had been chosen in a competitive evaluation of proposals to advance knowledge about the prevention of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and other diseases. The cancellation, coupled with congressional action to block similar research, left a gap in scientific data about adolescent health risk-taking. The cancellation may also encourage the further use of political criteria in evaluating proposals for scientific research. Procedures for funding scientific research should be reformed to protect peer review from arbitrary political intervention. Through a discussion of this decision and its consequences for AIDS prevention research, principles that justify autonomous peer review are clarified and a reform that could strengthen it is discussed.

HSV-2 lgM antibodies were detected with Elisa in the sera of cases. HSV-2 lgM were found positive in 3 homosexuals and 4 transsexuals. In cases with homosexual contact seropositivity of HSV-2 lgM were found %26 (7/27) HSV-2 lgM seropositivity was accepted the sign active infection.
