Jack,
Unless their MSM behavior is monogamous, or celebate, or with condoms and they share needles, or they got it from their wives, or blood transfusion.

The means of infection is reported by the patient.
In the above situations, it would not be recorded as MSM infection.

(no-one has been infected by transfusion for years, and needle-stick infection a very small number)
