Among participants aged 19\u201322, we did not see a difference in sexual debut or number of casual sexual partners by HIV status. However, those living with HIV reported fewer recent serious sexual partners and were less likely to be currently having sex in this older age group. There was also evidence that those living with HIV in this older age group were more likely to be using condoms with sexual partners than their counterparts without HIV.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Future HIV interventions should be tailored by age group and HIV status.
