WHY ARE GAY MEN MORE AT RISK FOR 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. So aga, the pot I would want to make, ’s not bee of who you are, ’s not jt bee you’re gay.

It’s bee we live a high HIV prevalent society among gay men and then also bee some of the behavrs that we engage may put more at risk for HIV.

New HIV fectns cled among gay and bisexual men the last , but HIV ntu to disproportnately affect gay and bisexual men relative to other muni the U.

HIV AMONG GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN THE U.S.

Progrs rcg new HIV fectns among gay and bisexual men has also not been equal, wh differenc by race, ethnicy, and age. 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.

Addnally, 2020, 49% fewer HIV tts were admistered among gay and bisexual men non-healthre settgs than 2019. 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. CDC is fundg a monstratn project 4 jurisdictns to intify active HIV transmissn works and implement HIV terventns for Hispanic/Lato gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex wh men.

In 2017, CDC award nearly $11 ln per year for five years to 30 CBOs to provi HIV ttg to young gay and bisexual men of lor and transgenr youth of lor, wh the goal of intifyg undiagnosed HIV fectns and lkg those who have HIV to re and preventn servic. HIV was tearg the gay muny apart and my diagnosis was almost a relief after a trapped a cycle of sex, shame, fear and regret. That medil breakthrough 1996 meant an HIV diagnosis was no longer a termal one, but rat among gay men remaed disproportnately high and stigma rife.

HIV NOW FECTS MORE HETEROSEXUAL PEOPLE THAN GAY OR BISEXUAL MEN – WE NEED A NEW STRATEGY

Now, 49% of new diagnos England are among straight people (wh an almost even spl between men and women), pared wh 45% for gay and bisexual men. Instead, ’s primarily the rult of a sharp, staed drop diagnos among gay and bisexual men wh a 71% fall sce 2014. There was a 7% fall HIV ttg by gay men sexual health clics England 2020, but HIV ttg rat heterosexuals dropped by a third.

This mak the news of a higher number of HIV diagnos heterosexuals than gay men even more turnaround fortun cis wh three big chang for HIV the UK the past . For example, I have 100% nfince that I n’t pass on HIV to my hband, and he do targeted work focg on at-risk groups – cludg gay men, as well as those of black Ain herage and some the trans muny – is workg.
