HIV AMONG GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN THE U.S.

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.

Sce the HIV epimic started the 1980s gay men have been at a greater risk and reprented more of the new HIV s that we’ve known this untry and actually ternatnally as well. †Unr 50%Only 27% of Black/Ain Amerin, 31% of Hispanic/Lato, and 42% of Whe gay and bisexual men who uld have benefted om medice to prevent HIV (PrEP) ed 50%Only 27% of Black/Ain Amerin, 31% of Hispanic/Lato, and 42% of Whe gay and bisexual men who uld have benefted om medice to prevent HIV (PrEP) ed 2017.

WHY ARE GAY MEN MORE AT RISK FOR HIV?

2 3Only about 2 3 Black/Ain Amerin (62%) or Hispanic/Lato (67%) gay and bisexual men wh HIV were virally supprsed 2019, ‡ pared wh about 3 4 (74%) Whe gay and bisexual men. From 2010 to 2019, new HIV fectns cled among Whe gay and bisexual men but remaed higher and relatively stable among Black/Ain Amerin and Hispanic/Lato gay and bisexual men.

Social and stctural barriers such as systemic racism, stigma, discrimatn, homophobia, poverty, and homelsns n make difficult to accs HIV ttg, re, and preventn servic. There have been signifint advanc HIV preventn and treatment but missed ttg opportuni healthre settgs are preventg some gay and bisexual men om knowg their HIV stat and beneftg om the advanc. Gay and bisexual men who learn they have HIV n start and stay on HIV treatment, get the vis down to an untectable level (bee virally supprsed), live long and healthy liv, and prevent sexual transmissn to others.

HIV AND ALL GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

This goal n only be achieved by dramatilly rcg new HIV fectns among the most affected groups, cludg Black/Ain Amerin and Hispanic/Lato gay and bisexual men, and expandg and stag vtments HIV servic. Among gay and bisexual men who uld benef om PrEP, only 27% of Black/Ain Amerin, 31% of Hispanic/Lato, and 42% of Whe gay and bisexual men reported g PrEP 2017.

High levels of HIV stigma—negative attus and beliefs about people wh HIV—make gay and bisexual men ls likely to get tted, e preventn servic like PrEP, receive re, and be virally supprsed.

GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN'S HEALTH ISSU

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.
