African male gay HIV rate

HIV rates among gay men in some African countries are 10 times higher than among the general male population, says research in medical journal the Lancet.The report said prejudice towards gay people was leading to isolation and harassment, which in turn led to risky sexual practices among gay communities.But the risks are not limited to gay men, as many of the infected also have female sexual partners. The report called for greater education and resources in the fight against HIV.
