The sexual health of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States is not getting better despite considerable social, political and human rights advances. Instead of improving, HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain disproportionately high among MSM and have been increasing for almost two decades. The disproportionate and worsening burden of HIV and other STIs among MSM requires an urgent re-assessment of what we have been doing as a nation to reduce these infections, how we have been doing it, and the scale of our efforts. A sexual health approach has the potential to improve our understanding of MSM's sexual behavior and relationships, reduce HIV and STI incidence, and improve the health and well-being of MSM.Here's the deal.
When you're a guy, fuelled by testosterone and you have sex with other men full of testosterone and you don't have to worry about pregnancy, your safe-sex message is going to go out the window at least a good part of the time. A large proportion of that population will sleep around indiscriminately. Larger than among straights, for sure.
But keep throwing condoms at the problem. It keeps your industry going, right?
