Insight: Gay men and hepatitis C
Hepatitis C is the single biggest threat to the health of HIV positive gay men on the party scene. It’s the elephant in the room. Men don’t like talking about it. There’s a stigma attached to it that is far worse than HIV, says Robert Fieldhouse, Editor, BASELINE magazine.
Breaking the stigma of hepatitis C in gay men
Fearful of being outcast from their HIV positive peers, and most importantly, sexual partners, many lgbtq+ men will pick to stay silent about their hepatitis C status, yet disclose their HIV status freely. More gay men in big cities are injecting, with upper rates of needle sharing fuelling transmission. Hepatitis C in gay men is nothing new. There’s been a growing number of HIV positive gay men being diagnosed with an acute hepatitis C infection for the past decade in London, Manchester and Brighton. HIV can complicate hepatitis C, potentially principal to faster hour to liver cirrhosis.
The good news is, for many people, hepatitis C treatment is a cure. Current therapy can be tough and some treatments can cause harsh depr
My coworkers helped me fetch through my divorce. As a gay man, I was shocked that unbent divorced men were my biggest allies.
The Monday morning after proposing to my husband, I found myself the recipient of an impromptu engagement celebration at the office.
It was , and I'd been operational as an executive innovative director in a vast advertising agency in LA for a year. I'm a gay man, and while my straight colleagues had never intentionally made me feel left out, at that moment — wearing my new chime and drinking Champagne from paper cups with those coworkers, many of whom were married — I suddenly felt like their equal. To organize the big moment, get down on one knee, and pop the question — all of us guys now had that trial in common.
For the first time in my animation, I felt "in." It got even better once I tied the knot. I'd mention "my husband" and feel as identical as anyone else mentioning their spouse. I grasp I'm not supposed to say I needed the straight world's validation, but I loved how it felt — while also hating how much I loved it.
So when I got divorced five years later

English clinic survey finds that 40% of gay men with unused hepatitis C infections are HIV negative
A study of gay and bisexual men diagnosed with recently acquired hepatitis C infection and treated in three English clinics has found that 40% of them were HIV negative, the 25th Annual Conference of the British HIV Association (BHIVA) was told in Bournemouth this week, though all the HIV-negative men were in London.
Daniel Bradshaw of Public Health England said the HIV-negative men were on average younger and had a higher average number of sex partners than HIV-positive men with hepatitis C; 81% were using pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or had done in the last year.
This study adds to recent evidence from France and the Netherlands that PrEP may be connected with changes in sexual uncertainty behaviour and the epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections. Historically, hepatitis C that is sexually transmitted – or rather, associated with sex, as sharing of drug injection equipment during ‘chemsex’ may also transmit infection – has been almost exclusively seen in HIV-positive gay
