Msm
Maybe someone can help me with this. I was reading this month's Essence health section a couple of weeks ago, and I came across an article about the rising HIV rates in the AA community.
Now, I was reading how health care workers and counselors started using the terminology MSM (men who sleep with men)instead of gay or bisexual to refer to guys who do that double dip kind of situation. It is supposed to be a term that allows men to keep their masculinity and encourage them to be more open about their activities in healthcare situations.
Scratching my head Now hold up! If a man is doing this kind of stuff on the sly, is he really going to tell his doctor or the worker at the free clinic, "I'm an MSM and might be needing one of those there HIV tests"? I mean, that homothug stuff had me tripping a few months back, but now this?
Do you all think that this label will help men to be more truthful with anyone (their physicians, girlfriends, wives) about their activities?
Just Wondering,
