Shouldn’t that read: 10% of men ARE IN A SEVERE STATE OF DENIAL, THINK
THAT THEY ARE STRAIGHT, and have sex with men?

Almost 10% of men who said they were straight had had sex with at least
one man during the last twelve months, according to a new study carried
out by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. 70%
of them were married. Many of these men said they had not used a condom
and had not been tested for HIV.

In fact, the researchers found that straight men who had had sex with
another man during the previous year were less likely to use a condom
than gay men who had had sex with another man during the previous year.

A large proportion of the straight men who had had sex with another man
were either of low economic or educational status, were foreign born
and lived outside the Manhattan area.

The researchers were surprised that so many married straight men
admitted to having sex with another man.

You can read about this study in Annals of Internal Medicine.

The researchers said it may be necessary for doctors not only to ask a
patient whether he is heterosexual, gay, or married, but also what his
sexual practices are, when assessing for risk of sexually transmitted
infections. Public health prevention messages should target risky
sexual activities, rather than be aimed exclusively at gay men.
