A comparison of risky sexual behaviors between older and younger men who have sex with men in Houston, TX

Objectives. This study estimated the prevalence of risky sexual behaviors of older (≥ years old) and younger (18-24 years) men who have sex with men (MSM) in Houston, TX and compared the prevalence of these behaviors between the two age cohorts. ^ Methods. Data used in this analysis were from the third MSM cycle of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Study. There were 80 older and 119 younger MSM who met the eligibility criteria. Bivariate and Multivariate analysis were performed to compare risky sexual behaviors from the past 12 months and at last sexual encounter between the two age cohorts. ^ Results. OMSM were more likely to be Non-Hispanic White (AOR=4.17; CI: 1.46, 11.89), to have a household income last year greater than $75,000 (AOR=3.59; CI: 1.12, 11.55), and to self-report HIV-positive (AOR=7.35; CI: 2.69, 20.10) than YMSM. OMSM were less like to have had anal sex (AOR=0.11; CI: 0.04, 0.29) or a main sex partner (AOR=0.2; CI: 0.09, 0.45) than YMSM in the past 12 months. Among MSM who had anal sex at last sexual encounter, OMSM were more likely to have not used a condom the entire time regardless of partner type (AOR=3.64; CI: 1.54, 8.61), not used a condom the entire time with a causal sex partner (AOR=7.72; CI: 1.76, 33.92), had unprotected insertive anal intercourse (AOR=2.92; CI: 1.1, 7.75), and used alcohol before or during sex (AOR=5.33; CI: 2.15, 13.2) than YMSM. YMSM and OMSM did not different significantly in knowledge of last sex partner's HIV status. ^ Conclusions. This is not a homogeneous sample of OMSM and risky sexual behaviors vary within the group. There were many similarities in risk behavior between OMSM and YMSM but also some key differences in partner type and condom use indicating a need for increased age-appropriate health promotion programs to limit a potential increase in HIV infection among OMSM. ^

Element abundances and Nd isotopic composition in boninite and tholeiite from DSDP Hole 60-458

Boninites are unusual high MgO-high SiO2 volcanic rocks found in several western Pacific island arcs. Their high Mg/(Mg + total Fe) (0.55-0.83) and compatible element contents (Ni = 70-450 ppm, Cr = 200-1800 ppm) indicate equilibration with mantle peridotite, but their low TiO2 contents (0.1-0.5%) indicate severe depletion of this source. K, Rb, Sr and Ba abundances in boninites are typical of primitive arc basalts, but ratios such as Ti/Zr and La/Yb are variable (Ti/Zr = 23-67, (La/Yb)e.f. = 0.6-4.7). Evidence for both enrichment and depletion of incompatible elements suggests that boninites are derived from refractory peridotite which has been metasomatically enriched in LREE, Zr, Sr, Ba and alkalis. Wide variations in 143Nd/144Nd (0.51262-0.51296) are correlated with La/Sm, Sm/Nd and Ti/Zr, which enables identification of components in the boninite source. Possible LREE depleted components have relative REE and Ti abundances like those in depleted peridotites and high 143Nd/144Nd ratios which reach MORB-like values. Possible LREE enriched components have relative REE abundances similar to those in metasomatized mantle peridotite nodules, and low 143Nd/144Nd ratios which indicate either sedimentary sources or mantle sources with recent to ancient LREE enrichment. Relative abundances of Ba and Sr in boninites decrease with increasing LREE enrichment and suggest a non-sedimentary source for the LREE enriched material. Enrichment in Ba, Sr and alkalis may result from a third component derived from subducted oceanic crust. Two models can account for the successive generation of boninites and arc tholeiites within a single area: 1) boninites can be derived from the peridotite residue of earlier arc tholeiite generation which is metasomatically enriched in LREE before boninite volcanism, or 2) arc tholeiites and boninites can be derived from a variably depleted peridotite source which has been pervasively enriched in LREE. Areas of fertile peridotite would yield tholeiites while refractory areas would yield boninites.
