'Males are more likely to be involved in high risk activity such as unprotected sex, abuse of alcohol, multiple partners and low acceptance of condom use.

Initiation rites such as scarification, group circumcision, group tattooing and homosexual activity in many Pacific Island nations pose increased risks to HIV transmission.'
