{{cquote|In their review of age and HIV risk behavior among gay men, Mansergh and Marks concluded that younger age was fairly consistently found to be associated with unprotected anal sex in [[North America|North American]] studies, while only limited evidence was found for the association in [[Europe|European]] and [[Australia]]n samples. Reasons for this are unclear. In order to assess more accurately the HIV risk for young gay men, it would be helpful to examine the degree of sexual 'mixing' across age groups and HIV status more closely. Although some studies have included assessments of perceived or known HIV status of young men's sexual partners, '''none of the studies reported the age ranges of the young men's sexual partners'''.(emphasis added)<ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=PubMed&cmd=Retrieve&list_uids=11086853''The Gay '90s: a review of research in the 1990s on sexual behavior and HIV risk among men who have sex with men.'', AIDS (London, England), 2000;14 Suppl 3:page S103]</ref>}}

In 1995, without giving specific age ranges of homosexual adolescents' sexual partners, medical researchers stated the following regarding youths seeking help at the only homosexual identified agency New York City: "...many homosexual male adolescents have sexual relationships with homosexual men, the group with the highest prevalence for AIDS."<ref>[http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/abstract/152/4/588 ''Predicting patterns of sexual acts among homosexual and bisexual youths'', MJ Rotheram-Borus, M Rosario, H Reid and C Koopman, American Journal of Psychiatry, volume 152 , 1995, page 589]</ref>

Given that the adolescent HIV infection was seen as a problem in the late 1980's, the failure of medical researchers to publish material in the past regarding the age ranges of the individuals infecting adolescents is inexcusable. The pro-homosexaulity publication ''The Advocate'' stated the following regarding adolescent HIV infection on March 24, 1992 in a article entitled ''America's Worst Kept Secret - AIDS is devastating the Nation's Teenager and Gay Kids are Dying by the Thousands'':
