men who have sex with men

A category of men at increased risk of HIV, which allows sexual health workers and epidemiologists to address the high-risk activity itself, in particular peno-anal intercourse, without qualifying the man’s sexual orientation (e.g., homosexual or bisexual) or reasons for engaging in same-sex activity.
