HIV AND ALL GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

Factors that fluence health out—cludg HIV-related stigma, homophobia, racism, discrimatn, poverty, limed accs to high-qualy health re, and other longstandg barriers—have ntributed to the unequal reach of HIV preventn and treatment; higher levels of HIV some muni; and ntued equi.

Wh effective preventn and treatment tools at our disposal, the natn has a s--the-makg opportuny to end the domtic HIV epimic and elimate dispari HIV preventn and re among gay and bisexual men and other populatns disproportnately affected by HIV.

HIV AMONG GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN THE U.S.

For gay and bisexual youth who are jt begng to explore their sexualy, homophobia and other forms of anti-LGBTQ bias help expla why so many young people our muny are unaware of their HIV stat.

The natn also saw tremendo progrs the fight agast HIV unr former Print Barack Obama, whose Natnal HIV & AIDS Strategy explicly lled attentn to gay and bisexual men and transgenr women for the first time. Organized “gays” have blocked blood screeng for HIV, fought the closg of homosexual bathho, advoted for the legalizatn of both male and female prostutn, shut down ntact tracg and sexual partner notifitn, opposed crimalizg the liberate fectn of another person wh HIV-AIDS, and promoted the e of ndoms, which have a six to eight percent failure rate.

To show how out of touch the mastream media is wh realy, Newsweek Magaze, which has featured AIDS on s ver no fewer than twenty tim, laid the blame for the AIDS epimic at the feet of “homophobia and relig lears steeped moralistic doctre who have supprsed hont nversatn about how to stop . All of this shows the power of the homosexual lobby as greedily gobbl up every penny n get s hands on for s very small percentage of the populatn, thereby privg lns of others of badly-need assistance.

IS AIDS A “GAY” DISEASE?

Uma das mar falácias sobre o HIV é a idéia que ele foi criado o uma forma matar/extermar algum gpo, prcipalmente vido ao fato que os primeiros sos HIV foram renhecidos em gays – tanto que por algum tempo a AIDS era chamada doença gay (ou GRID, Gay Related Disease) – e em seguida em uárs drogas jetáveis, na Europa e nos EUA.

AIDS, DOENçA GAY? (AIDS SNSTíDA, 1)

More recently, wh the game-changg breakthroughs the bmedil arena, attentn has shifted to the bmedil preventn strategi, which clu preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for gay, bisexual, and other MSM (Grant et al., 2010) and vagal microbicis for women (Abdool et al., 2010). In rponse to the alarmg health dispari among gay and bisexual men, there has been a ll to broan the preventn lens to exame the fluence of multiple social and ntextual factors fluencg health behavrs (Halkis & Cahill, 2011).

Dpe clear evince for the social termants of HIV transmissn and the beneficial effects of stctural terventns (Adimora & Auerbach, 2010), there have been limed efforts targetg the social equali, which place gay and bisexual men at greater risk for the acquisn of HIV disease. In this article, nsiratn is given to the manner through which discrimatn and homophobia, which may have been heightened bee of the AIDS epimic (Halkis, 1999), perpetuate HIV vulnerabili for gay and bisexual men.

DISCRIMATN AND HOMOPHOBIA FUEL THE HIV EPIMIC GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

Sce discrimatn based on sexual inty is cril to the ias beg put forth, and sce the HIV preventn needs of gay and bisexual men differ wily om those of non-gay or bisexual MSM (Halkis, 2010b), the foc of this issue of the newsletter is on gay and bisexual men, and not MSM general. Wh bewilrment and fear, I read Robert Altman’s (1981) acunt of “doctors New York and California [who] have diagnosed among homosexual men 41 s of a rare and often rapidly fatal form of ncer.

HIV IS A STORY FIRST WRTEN ON THE BODI OF GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

Dpe creased visibily, acceptance and recent socpolil advanc, gay and bisexual men ntue to live a society that privileg heterosexualy while nigratg nonheterosexual relatnships, behavrs and inti (Herek, Gillis, & Cogan, 2009). Opprsive social stctur and equali affectg gay and bisexual men have been implited perpetuatg not only the HIV epimic but also rat of anal ncer, Hepatis B, human papillomavis (HPV) and lymphogranulma vernrm (LGV) fectns, syphilis, gonorrhea and Hepatis C (Wolski & Fenton, 2011).

The stctural ndns, which take the form of discrimatn and homophobia (Wolistki & Fenton, 2011; Wolski, Stall, & Validiserri, 2008), are further pound by racism and enomic dispari for gay and bisexual men of lor.

Exposure to and experienc of homophobia have been implited substance abe, risky sexual behavrs, negative body image, suici attempts, creased strs and limed social support among gay and bisexual men (Halkis, Fischgnd, & Parsons, 2005; Mayer, Bradford, Makadon, Stall, & Goldhammer, 2008; Wolski, Stall, Valdiserri, 2008). Moreover, experienc wh homophobia have been shown to terfere wh the abily of gay and bisexual men to tablish and mata longterm same-sex relatnships, which protect agast HIV acquisn (Diaz, Ayala, Be, Henne, & Mar, 2001).
