Notes:	This article reports on Manhattan-based research into risk of same-sex domestic violence and HIV/STD. Researchers examined aspects of power in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) relationships and its correlation with forced sex and a lessened ability to negotiate safe sex with the resulting increased prevalence of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases. The survey questioned 58 clients of a community-based LGBT organisation that counsels victims of intimate partner violence The research found that violence within same-sex couples is prevalent and that this increases the risk of HIV and STDs through lower levels of safe-sex practice.
