HSV-2 Rates among Men who have sex with men (MSM)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The authors say male-to-male sexual contact, even if not recent, is an “important marker” for being at high risk for HIV. With MSM-Ever, overall HIV prevalence was 9.1%, compared to only 0.2% among men with no history of sexual contact with other males. HIV was detected among 16.5% of MSM-Ever who identified as gay, a rate roughly four times higher than found with bisexual MSM-Ever. No HIV infections were found among MSM-Ever who identified as heterosexual.
