Answers
1. B - The current estimate is about 500,000 men, which is about 2.6
percent of the population of the UK. And about 125,000 of these
men live in London. Some of these men may not identify as gay, but
this is roughly the number of men who have sex with men.
2. C - Contrary to popular belief, not all gay men are obsessed with
anal sex, although the vast majority of us have tried it.
3. D - While a small number of gay men become infected with HIV
in other ways, the vast majority of infections occur when two men,
one of whom has the virus, fuck without a condom.
4. D - About 200 gay men in the UK still die each year of an AIDS
related illness. If you have been infected with HIV then it is
currently possible to keep the damage the virus does to you under a
reasonable degree of control, however, it is still potentially deadly.
5. C
6. D - That’s around one in eight.
7. A - The most common cause of HIV transmission during sex
between men is fucking without condoms. The second most
common cause is condom failure – so make sure you use your
condoms properly.
8. C - HIV is a virus, not the result of gay sex.
9. C
10. D - Most guys with HIV don’t tell every guy they have sex with
that they have the virus.
11. C - Just because a man tells you he received a negative result
for an HIV test, doesn’t mean it is safe to fuck him without a condom.
His test may have been taken before he was infected or when
HIV was undetectable in his blood, which means he got a negative
result, even though he is carrying the virus.
12. C - Some of them will suspect they are positive, but many of
them won’t. Just because someone thinks he is HIV negative,
doesn’t mean he is negative.
13. B
14. B - The slimy stuff that coats the inside of your arse can have
more HIV in it than spunk or even blood. That’s one of reasons why
a negative guy can catch HIV if he fucks an HIV-positive guy
without a condom.
