Thread Name: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
Subject: RE: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
Re the impact of homophobia stigma and MSM testing:

""The perception of stigma, from other gay men or from the wider culture, is a barrier to testing. Gay and other MSM have clear preferences regarding testing services, particularly for those that are community based, include non-judgemental and gay-positive service providers, and offer a high degree of confidentiality.""


Question:is it not reasonable to propose that some on this thread would be a poor choice to garner advice on promoting greater MSM testing, as there seems to be a clear lack of non-judgemental perspectives towards the gay community?
