Heterosexual transmission accounted for the largest proportionate increase in the number of reported AIDS cases in the United States between 1996 and 2000, (1) and AIDS is the leading cause of death among individuals aged 25-44. (2) Other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) also account for considerable morbidity and mortality. (3) Most of the research on heterosexual STD transmission has focused on women, undoubtedly because transmission from men to women is more efficient than the reverse, (4) women tend to have more severe sequelae than men and women traditionally have had less control of the means of prevention. (5) However, heterosexual STD transmission cannot be prevented without better understanding of men's, as well as women's, sexual beliefs and behaviors. (6)
