The new federal law didn't take effect until 1996; the study shows a decline in birthrates since 1989. Fear of AIDS, however, may be a contributing factor. Charles Taylor, director of teen programs at the Harlem YMCA, who supervises a weekly rap session with teenagers on sex, says that while boys are as swaggering as ever, more girls are insisting on condom use.
