According to media reports, Australia has the highest syphilis infection rate in history and is the most susceptible population to male homosexuality. Experts also pointed out that gay men also have the highest incidence rate of AIDS.
According to the latest national sexual health testing report from Kolby College, University of New York, Australia, in 2013, a total of 1765 Australians were tested for potentially deadly syphilis bacteria, a 34% increase from the number of infections in 2009. Therefore, medical experts call on the public to increase their awareness of syphilis.
In addition, the report also pointed out that unsafe sexual behavior among male homosexuals from 2009 to mid-2013 was the main reason for the increase in the number of syphilis infections.
Australian STI expert David Wilson pointed out that although compared to other sexually transmitted diseases, the number of people infected with syphilis in Australia is still in the minority. But Wilson said, "The lack of protective measures taken by male homosexuals during sexual intercourse has led to an increasing number of people in Australia infected with syphilis. At the same time, the decrease in the number of people using condoms is also one of the main reasons
It is understood that syphilis has a significant impact on human health. Late stage syphilis can lead to uncoordinated muscle movements, limb weakness and paralysis, and even dementia. Late stage syphilis can also damage the internal organs of the human body and lead to death. Experts remind the public to pay more attention and engage in safe sex.
Except for syphilis, gay men are most vulnerable to AIDS
AIDS, so far, has not found a way to eradicate it, but with the gradual opening of society, the infection rate of AIDS is rising sharply. The survey data shows that the probability of men transmitting AIDS is more than 80%.
"Due to the different physical characteristics of men and women, gay are the people with the highest incidence rate of AIDS." Experts said that many people came to detect abnormal reactions after having one night stands. Experts remind that for the sake of one's own and others' health, one should not engage in sexual activity with people they meet online.
People who have had unsafe sex, shared syringes for intravenous drug use, sold blood at illegal blood collection points, suspected of receiving unclean blood transfusion or injection, and pregnant women in areas with high incidence of AIDS should actively seek AIDS counseling and testing.
Why are gay prone to AIDS?
1、 No fixed sexual partner
Most men who engage in same-sex sexual activity do not have a fixed sexual partner. "Having more than one sexual partner" is often the main reason for AIDS infection or other sexually transmitted diseases (such as syphilis, gonorrhea, condyloma acuminatum, genital herpes, etc.). Therefore, the promiscuous behavior of multi partner sexual intercourse among men who have sex with men leads to gay being more susceptible to AIDS infection.
2、 Sexual intercourse mode
Men who have sex with men usually use oral sex kj or anal sex GJ, especially the latter, which greatly increases the risk of men who have sex with men contracting AIDS. Due to the alkaline environment in the rectum, which is suitable for the survival and reproduction of viruses, and the thin and delicate mucosa of the anus and intestines, with abundant capillaries underneath, it is easy to cause damage and bleeding during sexual activity, allowing pathogens to invade from the damaged area of the anus or rectum and directly enter the bloodstream.
3、 Not using condoms
Men who engage in same-sex sexual activity do not pay attention to the use of condoms, and the use rate of condoms is only about 40%. Even with condoms as an aid, it cannot completely avoid virus infection. Condoms themselves have a certain probability of failure for the original purpose of contraception. Moreover, compared with sperm, HIV invades the other person's body far more than sperm combines with eggs from any angle. And a considerable number of gay men have established families with the opposite sex or have sexual partners of the opposite sex at the same time. Double partner sexual intercourse undoubtedly increases the risk of AIDS spreading from high-risk groups to the general population.
4、 Lubricant factors
Due to the unique organ structure, same-sex male sexual behavior often requires the use of lubricants; Many lubricants contain mineral oil such as Vaseline, which is easy to cause the latex to become brittle and crack, thus increasing the risk of HIV invasion into the human body.
