The prevalence of HIV among gay men
January 11, 2023 at 7:58 am

Why is there such a high rate of HIV among gays? Here's why I think gay men have a higher prevalence of HIV compared to other populations.
One major factor is the nature of anal sex, which is more likely to lead to the transmission of HIV than vaginal sex. The lining of the rectum is more susceptible to tears and abrasions, which can make it easier for the virus to enter the body. Additionally, gay men are more likely to engage in unprotected anal sex, which increases the risk of HIV transmission.
Furthermore, some gay men may also be more likely to engage in other behaviors that increase their risk of HIV, such as using recreational drugs or engaging in multiple sexual partners. The complex interplay of these and other factors has led to a higher prevalence of HIV among gay men.

And all this proves is we need more sex education for gay people and help them find outlets other than drugs to deal with social pressure. This in no way is a necessary issue with homosexuality itself.

Yes, gay men are more likely to engage in degenerate behavior and suffer the consequences of such behavior. This is not a secret.

Are you safe because you engage in what you call degenerate behavior for money?
