This makes gay and bi guys much more closely connected, sexually, than the rest of the population. So when you’re meeting a guy for casual sex, the pool of people you have to choose from is smaller. The reality is that there are fewer gay and bi guys than there are straight men and women. We’re more closely connected than you might think. So, if you’re a guy hooking up with other guys, you’re more likely to meet someone who has HIV (and according to that same study, there’s a 20 percent chance that person with HIV doesn’t know it yet). In a recent Auckland study, 1 in 15 gay and bi guys were found to have HIV. There are already a lot of gay and bi Kiwis living with HIV. Combine this with the fact that gay and bi guys have much more anal sex than straight guys, and you’ve got yourself a lot more risk right there. Second, both semen and rectal mucosa (the lining of the ass) carry more HIV than vaginal fluid. First, the cells in the ass are much more susceptible to HIV than cells in the vagina. It’s been scientifically proven that anal sex is riskier than vaginal sex when it comes to HIV. It’s much easier to get HIV from anal sex
