"This article analyses the itineraries of young male homo/bisexuals based on a survey conducted in the gay press [in France] in 1995.... Young homosexuals have to face the double problem of finding a place in a circle of tolerant relations and creating a way of life which will allow a full development of their sexual orientation. To this there is now added a dramatic epidemiological context, in the form of the very high incidence of HIV in this group.... General population studies are used to examine whether the process whereby young homosexuals become autonomous is similar to that of other young people and to what extent their trajectory is influenced by their marginal sexuality."
