If you are a gay men actively having sex with various other gay men, invest in PrEP. Period. Prevention is better than the cure, especially if the cure doesn't exist yet.

Sorry man but now all you can do is continuously take medication and ensure your viral load below detectable level, then you can at least maintain some sense of normalcy in your life.

I have always have this question but dunno where or who to ask.
Why is it the media always portray that if you are gay or lesbian, then you are prone to HIV?
Is that true?
From my understanding, you will have risk of contacting HIV only if you have sex with a person who already infected with HIV.
Which means, even if you have multiple sex partners, if none of them have HIV, you will not contact HIV also.
And this apply to straight men and women as well; not only gays and lesbians.

Is my understanding correct?

Lesbians have close to zero chance of getting HIV, unless one of them have a wierd blood fetish or something. But then it's more about that than about being lesbian.

The most dangerous sex acts for the sake of getting HIV:
1 Receiving anal intercourse
2 Receiving vaginal intercourse
3 giving anal intercourse
4 giving vaginal intercourse
5 receiving fellatio
6 all other types of oral sex
7 all types of petting, mutual masturbation grinding etc

I might be wrong about the order of 2 and 3.

Using a barrier like a condom or "licking patch" reduces the risk alot.
Not ejaculating inside your partner also reduces the risk alot.
Having small wounds or cuts on your organ increases the risk alot.
For receiving fellatio studies have shown that brushing your teeth before increses the risk.
For all kinds of giving, being circumcised decreases the risk. Uncut penises have more receptive tissue.

The sexual orientation or gender of the participants is really not important for the risk of transmission, but logically most lesbians would have the types of sex in the lower end. And many gay men, but not all have sex in the higher end.
But of course you are right, If your partner does not have HIV, you cannot get infected, no matter the sexual orientation.

One famous gay from my country of residence said: "I survived the 80's because I was a bit too ugly to be popular and didn't like anal"

malaysia still a country whichcould not totally accept a person if HIV. that's why there is alot people hiding their status and caused depression

Thank you for the info. But I could not understand completely because it was all in Malay term 🤣

I saw some article too, doc say rather have HIV than diabetes.

https://www.spectator.co.uk/2014/04/why-id-...-than-diabetes/

When I just diagnosed for HIV, I am so worried. But later on, the fear has been disappeared. The only thing we need to do is just daily eat 2 pills in the same timing on daily basis. Feeling like just eat 2 vitamin pills.

Now is just about other alot discriminate us and hope one day people see us is just like a normal human and should not bias.

hiv = exchange of infected fluid between host and victim. anal sex regardless of receiving or giving has same amount of risk being infected with hiv.

why hiv is more prone to gay sex aka anal sex?
-answer is because anus wall is very thin hence any fluid infected by bacteria/virus can easily absorbed into your body. This is compared with vagina wall where they are thicker making the virus harder to go into the body.

Just wanna clarify, HIV is something that can only be spread from 1 infected human to another? It won’t develop by itself from a healthy individual. It’s not like flu which can develop from an individual without interaction from anyone right?

So a group of HIV free individuals, regardless of whether they’re gay, lesbian, bisexual or straight will never contract HIV no matter what they do among themselves as long as they stay HIV free?

Aha, thanks for clarifying. Now I understand why there’s a bad stigma towards them. Sounds cruel but if we totally isolate all the HIV people from the non-HIV people, then it’ll be contained & cant spread.

It’s due to the severe lack of knowledge on how HIV can be spread that many people choose to avoid HIV people as much as possible.

Correct! They will put the blame on the person why keep on so frequently randomly sex. They will look down us too
For me i am not a sexual active person and all the while protected sex. But got infected☹
