ABSTRACT

Prior to the appearance of the HIV epidemic, bisexuality had received little attention from researchers in the United Kingdom. Whilst in the United States important contributions had been made to the understanding of bisexuality long before the advent of AIDS (Blumstein and Schwartz, 1976, 1977; MacDonald, 1981), in the United Kingdom bisexuality was recognized as a potential option for sexual behaviour and identity (Weeks, 1987), but little had been done to examine empirically the lives of such individuals.
