Are Gay Men at High Risk of Getting HIV?

HIV affects gay, bisexual, and other males more frequently than those who did not disclose male-to-male sexual contact. Health outcomes are influenced by social and structural factors, which continue to fuel inequality. Examples include HIV stigma, homophobia, discrimination, poverty, and inadequate access to high-quality healthcare. 

A gay man’s susceptibility to infection is greatly increased by biological variables. The fact that many males who engage in male-to-male sexual activity do not identify as homosexual or bisexual adds to these worries. In order to overcome obstacles to HIV testing, treatment, or prevention in this population, public health experts use the phrase men who have sex with men (MSM).
