Not All Gay Men Have HIV You Know
Whenever I go to see my GP about something, my sexuality always comes up and I get question after question about my sex life, always related to HIV.
I feel like because I am a gay man, that any illness I have always seems to relate back to the kind of sex that I have, as if that's the root cause of all sickness in gay men.
I'm pretty sure that if a straight person went to see their doctor about a persistent cough they wouldn't be asked about their sex life and repeatedly be required to take HIV tests, despite being in a monogamous relationship.
