Why gay men are vulnerable to HIV infection

The U.S. Federal Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 victory that the Constitution guarantees the right to same-sex marriage, and the news was met with loud cheers from supporters surrounding the courthouse, outside the White House, and rainbow flags flying everywhere.

Gay men: “For us, our husbands are able to become real husbands in the legal sense. This is just fantastic! I’m so proud and happy and proud of our country.” However, at present, men who have sex with men have replaced intravenous drug use to spread AIDS as the first high-risk group for HIV infection, why are gay men vulnerable to HIV infection?

I. No fixed sexual partners Most men who have sex with men do not have fixed sexual partners. “Having multiple sexual partners is often the main reason for contracting HIV or other STDs.

Men who have sex with men usually use GJ, which greatly increases the risk of HIV infection among men who have sex with men. Because the alkaline environment in the rectum is very suitable for the survival and reproduction of the virus, and the mucous membrane of the anus is thin and delicate, and there are abundant capillaries under it, it is very easy to cause breakage and bleeding when having sex, so that the pathogen invades from the anal or rectal breakage and enters the blood directly.

Third, do not use condoms Men who have sex with men do not pay attention to the use of condoms, condom use rate is low only about 40%, even with condoms as an aid, but also can not completely avoid the virus infection.

The lubricant factor: Men who have sex with men often need to use lubricants in the process of same-sex sex because of the special structure of their organs; many lubricants contain mineral oil such as petroleum jelly, which can easily lead to brittle latex and breakage, thus increasing the risk of HIV invasion.

Early symptoms of HIV 1. Skin inflammation, redness, blisters, and bacterial skin infections such as impetigo, typically appearing as a patchy, tiny blister around the mouth and nose.

2. Severe seborrheic dermatitis with severe oily scaling of the skin on the face, scalp and trunk.

3.Severe dry skin disease or the sudden appearance of skin similar to that of the elderly in young people.

4.Folliculitis appears in the armpits and other areas.

5.Blisters of herpes simplex appear in the rectum and around the anus, and new warts are found on the hands, feet and bearded areas.

6.Severe mycobacterial infections appear on the feet.
