About:
What’s the role of sexual identity in HIV prevention? Since the late 1980s, “MSM” or “men that have sex with men,” has been a category used to describe gay men and other men that might engage in sex with other men, but not identify as gay. The term has since raised questions on race, culture, community, the impact of the category upon public health prevention efforts, to how the “MSM” category reinforces stigmatization and social exclusion of gay and bisexual men.
