Prior research has demonstrated that gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) who have experienced adverse childhood events (ACEs) such as sexual abuse are significantly more likely to report HIV-related outcomes.

...

Included in the study were 372 HIV-negative, MSM of color. Participants were asked to recall if any sexual violence experiences (SVEs), including their first experience of anal sex, were forced, coerced, non-consensual or for survival.

Results from the study showed that nearly a third of the sample had experienced forced or pressured first sexual experiences. Nearly two-thirds reported a sexual experience prior to the age of 18 with a partner 5 or more years older that was forced, coerced or otherwise unwanted.

This article is a lot of tail-wagging-the-dog obfuscation. The takeaway that any alert conservative should gain is how so many homosexuals were sexually abused as children.

So, if I understand correctly, MSM, particularly MSMOCs, had ACEs and get HIV after SVEs butt PrEP can help. DIUC?

MSM is so gay.

Is this just a very stylized, very mannered way of saying what we all know? If you play in the streets, you’re gonna get dirty!

Yes, but why isn't anyone noticing, or even seeking prosecution for, underaged boys getting raped? They completely blow off that fact.
