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

“It really rocked the nservative Christian muny and kd of rocked the gay and lbian muny as well, ” Pieters said. But his ndn stabilized, and he was able to jo the Gay Men’s Chos of Los Angel and ntue his misterial work. This terview and now this film is what I’m gog to be remembered for, not that I survived AIDS or was a director of AIDS mistri but that I was that gay pastor wh AIDS who did that terview.

HIV AND ALL GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

Donatns his memory n be ma to AIDS Project Los Angel, Cy of Hope, The Gay Men’s Chos of Los Angel and/or Project Angel Food. Whatever else may be, AIDS is a story, or multiple stori, and read to a surprisg extent om a text that do not exist: the body of the male homosexual. In 1980, Ken Horne, a gay sex worker San Francis, California, beme the first person to be diagnosed wh acquired immune ficiency syndrome (AIDS) the Uned Stat.

2 A year later, the Centers for Disease Control and Preventn’s (CDC’s) Morbidy and Mortaly Weekly Report scribed five s of Pnmocystis pnmonia among young “homosexual” men livg Los Angel, California. 3 By 1982, the term “gay-related immune ficiency” gaed tractn the media and among health re profsnals to scribe the assumed herent lk between homosexualy and what would later be known as human immunoficiency vis (HIV). 4 The term “gay-related immune ficiency” reflected homophobic ignorance and the arth of epimlogic evince that existed at the time.

In 1983, trated by their shared experienc of stigma, gay men wh AIDS at the Fifth Annual Gay and Lbian Health Conference brought forth the Denver Prcipl, which talyzed self-empowerment across health movements for s to signifint as the time markers are, the HIV story the Uned Stat likely dat back two or more s before the 1980s.

Globally, om 2010 to 2019, HIV diagnos creased by 25% among gay and bisexual men, even as fectns other groups cled.

6 In the Uned Stat, gay and bisexual men make up nearly 70% of all new HIV diagnos each year; among them 31% are Black and 25% are Latx. Reliably llected epimlogic evince ntue to tell a story that centers the HIV panmic on gay and bisexual men, yet public health agenci ntue to rource HIV rpons st broadly to the “general populatn.

AIDS IS A GAY DISEASE

COMMUNITY-LED HIV RESPONSESBuildg on the civil rights, women’s rights, and gay and lbian liberatn movements the Uned Stat, lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer (LGBTQ) people, and their alli worked together to tablish HIV service anizatns even as ernments stggled to rpond. 10 In 1986, Craig Harris, a Black gay man livg wh HIV, stormed the stage of the Amerin Public Health Associatn (APHA) annual nventn. The same anizatns also played a cril role safeguardg an creasgly visible LGBTQ activism has been tegral to policizg gay and bisexual men bee the homophobia and HIV-related stigma they have experience at dividual, muny, and stutnal levels are terlocked.

In addn, gay bars and bs were volved a range of HIV activism, cludg safer sex tn and fundraisg to ver the daily livg and funeral sts of gay and bisexual men dyg om AIDS. Ironilly, accs to culturally appropriate health re remas difficult for people livg wh and disproportnately affected by HIV, cludg gay and bisexual men, even wh the proliferatn of clics.

The high ath rate the early epimic was ncentrated largely among four tersectg groups: transgenr people, sex workers, people who e dgs, and gay and bisexual men.

Gay and bisexual men rry the burn of this muny trma, one that is often unaddrsed bee of public amnia, HIV-related stigma, homophobia, genr equi, racism, and classism. A HUMAN RIGHTS LENSEnomic disenanchisement, racism, genr equaly, and homophobia, dified laws and polici, have limed the provisn and uptake of HIV servic.

HIV AND AIN AMERIN GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

14 Thirty-seven US stat still crimalize people livg wh HIV, and the laws disproportnately affect enomilly poor people, Black and Brown people, and gay men.

15 Such laws enurage vlence, discrimatn, and stigma, which worsen health- and HIV-related racial/ethnic dispari among gay and bisexual rights vlatns experienced by young gay and bisexual men are exacerbated by legal and policy barriers embedd social valu.

This means all people, cludg gay and bisexual men, have agency and tonomy over their own bodi. Public health rpons to the HIV and overall health needs of gay and bisexual men are too often signed and enacted solely wh a disease ntament foc and whout ser nsiratn for the fundamental human rights prcipl. CONCLUSIONSAfter 40 years, not only do power equi and HIV dispari rema, but they have also epened, particularly for gay and bisexual men of lor.
