From The Christian Institute
A study has shown rates of HIV in France are 200 times higher in homosexual men than amongst heterosexuals.
Scientists from the French National Institute for Public Health Surveillance found that nearly half of the 7,000 people newly infected with HIV in the country in 2008 were gay men.
Stephane le Vu, who led the research said HIV transmission “seems to be out of control” amongst men who have sex with men (MSM).
Medical experts note that anal intercourse is, by its nature, one of the most risky forms of sexual activity.
Sexual health specialists Dr John Dean and Dr David Delvin have warned that the practice carries a greater risk of spreading sexually transmitted infections than almost any other type of sexual activity.
