Researchers who reviewed 16 studies – that were judged to be relevant enough to be included – found that the risk of HIV transmission during anal intercourse may be around 18 times greater than during vaginal intercourse.
Fridae’s Men's sexual health columnist Jan Wijngaarden discusses PrEP, PEP and iPrEP, and the extent to which anti-retroviral drugs for HIV can indeed help prevent HIV (but not STI) infection.
New research has found for the first time that certain types of water-based lubes to cause damage to the outer layer of the rectal and cervical tissue, and may cause users to be more vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
A survey of lubricant use amongst a group of gay men and women found that those who used lubricants for anal sex were three times more likely to acquire gonorrhoea, chlamydia or syphilis than those who used none.
Some of you may have heard about studies showing that male circumcision can help men protect themselves from HIV. But what is the potential role of circumcision as an HIV prevention strategy for gay men? Fridae's Men’s Sexual Health columnist Jan Wijngaarden has more.
Circumcision may protect gay men who are exclusively insertive for anal sex from infection with HIV, an Australian study published in the November 13th edition of AIDS suggests.
In a city where 1 in 20 (Singapore, Beijing, Ho Chi Minh), 1 in 12 (Hanoi), 1 in 10 (Phnom Penh), 1 in 5 (Chiang Mai) or 1 in 3 (Yangon, Bangkok) gay men are infected with HIV, it is important to stop ignoring HIV as 'a problem affecting others.’
Are condoms as fun as HIV educators claim them to be? Jan Wijngaarden says probably not, as many have found out for themselves - but still there are compelling reasons why they should remain your penis's best friend (aside from your favourite hand).
Fridae's Men’s Sexual Health columnist Jan Wijngaarden says simplistic slogans about condom usage and nothing else are not sufficient; gay men need to understand how HIV transmission works - in all its detail.

Hi...Just enjoy chatting and meeting nice guys from around the world. Always nice to make new friends..I am not looking for a relationship. I enjoy conversation, on various topics. I also love classical music, opera, jazz, old Broadway shows, and recordings of music going back to the 1890s. I love books (and I have a lot of them), and love to make and sometimes meet friends.
