Table 4 presents demographic statistics by three age groups, under age 25,<br />
between age 25 <strong>and</strong> 40 <strong>and</strong> over age 40. The under age 15 group earns significantly less<br />
income than the two older age groups, approximately 16 thous<strong>and</strong> versus over 30<br />
thous<strong>and</strong>. Interestingly, those over age 40 have greater college completion rates or<br />
advanced education than those age 25 to 40. The youngest group includes high school<br />
students <strong>and</strong> college students, which explains the low levels of educational attainment.<br />

Table 5 presents demographic statistics by HIV status. None of the bisexual men<br />
reported being HIV positive. Straight men are slightly over represented in the HIV<br />

HIV positive are older on average compared to those who are HIV negative, <strong>and</strong> they<br />
earn approximately $7,000 less.<br />
