Anal sex among gay men: the HIV perspective and beyond.
Objective: To assess the various meanings Anal Sex has for gay men, and how these meanings could be included in the development of HIV prevention strategies. Methods: Based on the sexual script theory and using a grounded theory approach, 71 gay and bisexual men were interviewed in three data-waves. Interviewees varied according to age, relation status and personal significance they attach to Anal Sex. The in-depth, semi-structured interviews focused on concrete descriptions of actual sexual encounters during which Anal Sex had or could have taken place. Transcripts were then analyzed in order to identify, the various meanings Anal Sex has, and implicit and explicit decisions which are part of the process of Anal Sex. Results: Decisions whether to engage in Anal Sex and, if so, about the actual role taken (insertive or receptive) are not only related to individual preferences but also to those of the partner. HIV is one, but not the only factor influencing these decisions. Condom use is depending on risk assessments, perceived practical impediments and emotional factors, such as the trustworthiness of the partner and the significance attached to the exchange of semen. Four distinct scenarios have been identified which structure and give meaning to Anal Sex. Related to these scenarios are specific obstacles and stimuli to use condoms. The mere bodily arousal which Anal Sex triggers characterizes the physical scenario; the use of a condom can be a barrier to experience this pleasure. In the intimate scenario the closeness and emotional satisfaction of Anal Sex are important; condoms are perceived as a frustration of such closeness. In the reciprocal scenario both partners fulfill both roles during one encounter. In this scenario some men experience practical impediments to use condoms in both roles. A ritualized unbalance of power is characteristic of the power scenario; the ritualization and the use of objects during Sex facilitate the integration of condom use. Conc

Defining virginity and abstinence: Adolescents’ interpretations of sexual behaviors
A total of 83.5% of adolescents reported that an adolescent was still a virgin if he or she participated in genital touching, and 70.6% of adolescent believed that girls and boys retain their virginity if they participate in oral Sex. Alternatively, 16.1% believed that an adolescent was still a virgin if he or she engaged in Anal Sex. A very small percentage (5.8%) of adolescents indicated that one was still a virgin if he or she engaged in vaginal intercourse. This pattern was consistent across gender, age group, ethnicity, and sexual behavior experience. We found a somewhat different pattern with respect to abstinence. Significant disagreement occurred regarding the target s status for all sexual behaviors except vaginal intercourse. The characterization of an individual as being abstinent was endorsed by 44.2% of respondents in reference to genital touching, 33.4% in reference to oral Sex, 14.3% in reference to Anal Sex, and 11.9% in reference to vaginal intercourse.
Can I get HIV from anal sex? | Questions and Answers | CDC HIV/AIDS
Yes. In fact, unprotected (without a condom) Anal Sex (intercourse) is considered to be very risky behavior. It is possible for either Sex partner to become infected with HIV during Anal Sex. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. In general, the person receiving the semen is at greater risk of getting HIV because the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow the virus to enter the body during Anal Sex. However, a person who inserts his penis into an infected partner also is at risk because HIV can enter through the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis) or through small cuts, abrasions, or open sores on the penis.

When addressing condom use behavior with steady and casual Sex partners, it seems particularly crucial to enhance feelings of moral obligation to use condoms for Anal Sex. Feelings of moral obligation could be addressed by inducing HIV-positive MSM to reflect on their own personal risk and personal standards for safer Sex ... . The findings of this study further suggest that desirable changes in subjective norms and self-efficacy expectations might lead to corresponding changes in personal norms and intentions ... . Therefore, preventive interventions should focus on helping HIV-positive MSM to cope with an unsupportive social environment and to encourage them to build the skills and confidence required for communicating and negotiating condom use. For promotion of condom use with casual Sex partners, personal norms may be further increased by urging HIV-positive MSM to accept responsibility for safer sexual behavior. Moreover, especially within casual Sex encounters, it is imperative to help HIV-positive MSM to deal with feelings that may conflict with the goal of safer Sex. Possible methods that can help HIV-positive MSM to identify and control high risk situations are, for example, action planning and coping planning ... . Action plans and coping plans are detailed plans of what a person needs to do when a specific situation occurs. When such [a] situation arise[s], it is likely to function as a cue for the execution of those precise plans of implementation. Additionally, stimulating HIV-positive MSM to imagine how they would feel if they were in their Sex partner[']s shoes (i.e., perspective taking) may evoke a mixture of egoistic and altruistic motivation and, as such, lead to more protected Sex ... .

"Consistent use" means using a condom or other barrier every time a person has Anal or vaginal Sex. Ideally, condoms or other barriers should be used for oral as well as genital or Anal Sex. However, the risk of transmission of HIV and most STDs during oral Sex is much lower than for Anal or vaginal Sex.
Two New York City Residents Diagnosed with Rare Sexually Transmitted Infection; Same Strain Found in Europe : Press Release : NYC DOHMH
LCOA President Dennis DeLeon said, "LGV is not like every other sexually transmitted disease in that its effects if untreated can leave a man permanently disfigured. Latino gay men and men who do not identify as gay may be tired of hearing the same message over and over - bring your own condom and never allow anybody to have Anal Sex with you without a condom. We know it is hard to be vigilant 100% of the time but diseases like this make it important to strive for 100% safe Sex."

High-Risk Sexual Behavior by HIV-Positive Men Who Have Sex with Men --- 16 Sites, United States, 2000--2002
30% reported oral Sex exclusively and 13% reported Anal Sex exclusively at last sexual encounter; 55% reported both behaviors. Overall, 40% of sexually active MSM reported insertive Anal intercourse at last sexual encounter; of these, 25% did not use a condom.
