VACC FOR GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

Jt like all other men, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men need to know how to protect their health throughout their life. There are many reasons why gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men may have higher rat of HIV and STDs. Prevalence of HIV among sexual partners of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men is 40 tim that of sexual partners of heterosexual men;.

Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men on average have a greater number of lifetime sexual partners. In fact, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men make up more than half of the people livg wh HIV the Uned Stat and experience two thirds of all new HIV fectns each year. Further, young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men 13-24 had over 72% of the timated new HIV fectns 2010.

The large percentage of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men who have HIV and STDs means that, as a group, they have a higher chance of beg exposed to the diseas. Most gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men get HIV by havg anal sex, which is the riskit type of sex for gettg or spreadg HIV. CDC’s Lbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgenr Health Servic page has rourc that n help you fd health re provirs that are skilled providg health servic to gay and bisexual men.

HEPATIS B VACCATN AMONG A NATNAL SAMPLE OF GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

The human papillomavis (HPV) vacce is also available for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men up to 26 years of age to prevent genal warts and other HPV-associated diseas and ndns such as oropharyngeal or anal ncer.

TopicsAs Secretary of Health and Human Servic (HHS) Kathleen Sebeli noted her recent statement, observg Lbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgenr (LGBT) Pri Month June spotlights HHS’s mment to addrsg the special health needs of LGBT Amerins which clus rcg health dispari for them and members of other vulnerable muni.

In fact, the Actn Plan intifi gay, bisexual and other men who have sex wh men (MSM) as one of s prry populatns.

HEPATIS A VACCATN DURG AN OUTBREAK AMONG GAY MEN MONTRéAL, CANADA, 1995-1997

Vacce-Preventable Hepatis A and BGay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men (MSM) are at elevated risk for certa sexually transmted fectns (STIs), cludg HIV/AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatis A and hepatis B. Dpe the availabily of safe and effective vacc that n prevent both HAV and HBV fectn, many gay and bisexual men have not been aquately vaccated agast viral hepatis—even though there is a high prevalence of the fectns among MSM. Although the HHS Advisory Commtee on Immunizatn Practic remends hepatis A and hepatis B vaccatn for MSM, data available om CDC dit that only about 30 percent of gay men are vaccated.

The statistics make clear that we need to work together to improve both awarens of and vaccatn for HAV and HBV among gay and bisexual men the Uned hepatis A and B vacc n be given separately or a batn vacce.
