Anal Cancer and HPV: What Do Gay Men Need to Know?

People who haven’t had the HPV vaccine should be on the lookout for persistent symptoms in the anus that aren’t due to other medical issues like hemorrhoids or a herpes outbreak. “If you’re having pain or bleeding, or a bump that’s otherwise unexplained then you should seek immediate medical attention,” explains Palefsky.

We often see many people who are happy being single or in a “monogamous” relationship or even in an open relationship. How do these people maintain a healthy relationship they’re in despite the rise of Syphilis, Gonorrhoea and other Sexually Transmitted Infections?

Getting your PrEP online

If HIV is going to get inside the cells, it does so quickly; it takes about 30 minutes. However, it does not start to multiply for several hours. PrEP and PEP work by stopping this process. Without drug, HIV infection is established within a few days so it’s a big advantage to have drug in the tissues BEFORE a risk, but it is needed most in the few days AFTER the risk.

After Meth, I’m Still the Boss

But, for me, the real concern is medication adherence. Luckily I never developed a resistance to any ARVs I was on, but it’s so easy to create a resistant strain of the virus by not taking your medication every day. So a guy who’s not taking care of himself could be putting his partners at risk because his viral load is not suppressed even though he might think it is.

The After-Meth of Sex

Imagine a magic powder that transforms every potential lover into the person of your dreams. Now suppose every touch of that person feels like full-body orgasms for hours, and your hunger for them never ceases as long as you are under the spell.

Sexual health cuts will cause STI ‘explosion’

“We’ve already seen the start of a potential explosion in syphilis and gonorrhoea in men who have sex with men, and it’s only a matter of time before the enthusiastic use of dating apps and antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea starts to have an effect on the heterosexual population,” he told The Guardian.

Chemsex linked to rising levels of HIV among gay men

Increases have been recorded for HIV and sexually-transmitted infection transmission among ‘chemsex’ party goers where NPS and other drugs are taken over a prolonged weekend period. The parties are usually sex parties primarily between men who have sex with men.
