"The perception of stigma, from other gay men or from the wider culture, is a barrier to testing."

This is plainly wrong.

From the same person who said

Male Homosexuals(MSM), are defined by who they like to have sex with, NOT by who they love.

I rest my case. This person knows nothing about human nature or relationships outside his own narrow experience.

Some recent gay judgemental statements on this site serve as an example of attitudes towards gays that exist not far beneath the veneer of the discussion.

It is not even slightly beneath the veneer. It is plain for all to see. But thanks for pointing it out anyway.
