The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States of America have stated that 20% of gay or bisexual men are HIV positive. Further statistics from the University of Otago, New Zealand longitudinal studies confirm this, with their results revealing 21% of men who have sex with men are HIV positive, while 56% of them are unaware that they are infected.

Men who have sex with men are particularly at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS so extreme care should be taken during sex and intercourse. Wearing a condom, using a water-based lubricant as well as periodic testing will ensure the problem is prevented and detected as soon as possible.
