Commercial sex venues (e.g., bathhouses) that cater to men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to function in most urban areas. These venues present a challenge to developing strategies to prevent the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but they also provide opportunities for interventions to reduce the risk and rate of disease transmission. Several cities in the United States have developed programs that offer HIV testing in these venues. Similar programs have not existed before in New York City.
