College students are more likely to use condoms these days, but otherwise their sexual practices have changed little in the last 14 years despite the advent of AIDS, a survey published today shows. The study, conducted at Brown University, found that college women reported just as much poten tially risky sexual behavior last year as they did in 1975, before AIDS and some other sexually transmitted diseases became concerns. The results "indicate that public health campaigns have not had a substantial influence on the habits and behavior of these welleducated young adults," said the study in today's New England Journal of Medicine. The survey, led by Dr. Barbara DeBuono, found that 12 percent of women in 1975 said their partners always used condoms. This increased to 21 percent in 1986 and 41 percent in 1989. But the number of sex partners or the frequency of high-risk sex since 1975 remained virtually the same. In 1989, nine percent of the women engaged in anal intercourse, and 21 percent had more than three sex partners during the year. r<lV )llege ring NOW.
