Maybe. This might enter a whole different discussion though -- Who actually really knows? The data all comes from questionnaires. Young people today might be lying better than the previous generation. The stigma today [from HIV schooling of the 1990s and beyond] is that no, you absolutely do not want to have multiple sexual partners before marriage.
Therefore, when asked, what do you say? -- I don't want to be a "slut", so I'll underreport.
I don't think young people have changed one bit, in America.
