Why Do Gay Men Get HIV? Why Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) Have the Highest Risk of Infection
VeryWell Health ^ | July 25, 2024 | Elizabeth Boskey, PhD

Gay men get HIV at higher rates than any other group in the United States, and there are many reasons for this. Biological factors dramatically increase a gay man's vulnerability to infection. Social, cultural, and economic factors—such as stigma, racism, homophobia, and high rates of poverty—further compound the risk.

Regardless of the causes, securing access to testing, prevention, and PrEP to lower HIV transmission in this high-risk group remains a pressing issue. There are numerous free or low-cost confidential testing and treatment sites offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services via their online testing locator.

Who knew that "homophobia" causes HIV infection? I thought it was a virus that did that?

Anyway, are they admitting something here that they'd denied for decades?

Intergenerational sexual partnerships may increase the risk of HIV among young MSM. This matters because the older someone is, the more sexual encounters (and chances of HIV exposure) they are likely to have had.

Note that the lowest age bracket describing "young people" necessarily includes 13-year-olds.

I can’t answer this without getting disgusting, and we all know why anyway.

Because the butt is an exit, not an entrance.

And it’s dirty.

The people who engage in it aren’t just way. They are deprived and disgusting.

All of them, which includes all gays. Gross degenerate sh!tbags.

My understanding is the skin in the anus (unlike in the vagina) is very thin and prone to tearing easily. Anal sex often time tears the skin open giving HIV easy access.

Unadulterated BS.

None of that compounds their risk.

It's strictly behavioral. Cut out the gay sex and your risk drops to almost nothing.

That was the sales pitch. Also, "gay marriage" was supposed to tame untethered homosexual men into "monogamous" relationships with the implied expectation of one, or at least, "fewer" sexual partners.

Instead, an unprecedented skyrocketing rate of STD's among the population occurred since 2015, driven largely by male homosexuals. That epidemic continues, including a persistent rate increase in syphilis, was was effectively eradicated as a first-world disease in the past 30 years.

HIV is spread the same way as hepatitis B. Thru broken skin into the blood stream. This means that a person could drink a liquid with Hep B or HIV and it would pass through the body without infecting him or her, unless there was some broken membrane that allowed the virus an entry into the bloodstream.
Gay men, lacking vaginas, engage in anal sex which is an unnatural sex act that often causes torn skin and a mixing of bloods.
Also, the rectum is nature’s exit, so there is not much there in the way of antibodies to fight off diseases that might be inserted there unnaturally.
Everett Koop, the former surgeon general, in his zeal to prevent gays from being picked on, refused to condemn their behavior and acts, even though these sex acts were directly responsible for the spread of AIDS in the gay community.

From an evolutionary perspective,male human immune systems were not designed to tolerate the constant exposure to multile alien HLA phenotpic antigens being constantly absorbed through mucosa or ingested. These practicing homosexual men have challenged immune systems, that leave them vulnerable to this deadly virus and other infectious agents. When infected even with suppressing chronic antiviral medications, their death rate is much higher than the straight male population.

“[O]pen ended organ”? That’s a new one to me. Maybe OEO for short? (Well, I don’t really mean “short”, of course.)

“Woke nomenclature. Peppered with ironic findings totally non self aware”

Seeing a lot of this lately and I think I’ve figured it out.

When the bare bones news story is written, it is of findings which are in conflict with the woke party line.

Woke editors plump the story up with woke jargon to try and diminish the effects of the truth.
