Sergi91 Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Apparently it is done as a diagnosis so that we can get PREP Quote ICD-10 code Z72. 52 for High risk homosexual behavior is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services . I feel like they should use a different method.
Aston Martin Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 This is just another demonstration of how the US healthcare system sucks. If we didn't have pharmaceutical companies price-gouging and shitty insurance companies we had to rely on to afford medication, then the diagnosis wouldn't be necessary to get PREP.

discosean Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 But when straight people have unprotected sex, they are seen as following the Bible. This is discriminatory that LGBT is considered high risk.

ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted July 26, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted July 26, 2023 My insurance won't cover STI tests unless my doctor uses the high-risk code, so I need it.
oshyms Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) they should just call it what it is: high risk sexual behaviour no need for the homo Edited July 26, 2023 by oshyms 1
Domination Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) The term is a bit outdated but generally having unprotected anal sex as a man with men who have unprotected anal sex with other men who have had unprotected anal sex with other men… well you get the picture. This term is pretty prescriptive and if you knew anything about STDs and anal sex, you probably wouldn’t feel the same about it. Edited July 26, 2023 by Domination 1

JustLikeHoney Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Nope. High risk homosexual behavior is exactly that. It means unprotected anal receptive sex males. It doesn't include everyone in the LGBT. As a matter of fact Prep for women is a different medication and it's for women that have vaginal receptive sex. Edited July 26, 2023 by JustLikeHoney

Pure and simple. We are protecting ourselves. Our brothers and sisters with HIV are also taking PEP to be undetectable so that they don't pass on HIV either. Edited July 26, 2023 by JustLikeHoney
Popboi. Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 I can't see them ever not counting anal sex as high risk, it technically and literally is.

JustLikeHoney Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) 19 minutes ago, oshyms said: they should just call it what it is: high risk sexual behaviour no need for the homo That's a different code. IDC-Code Z72.51 is for High risk heterosexual behavior is also a medical classification. People need to chill. Not everything is a gay insult. I sure Prep is available to straight men with this code.

We're good. yes we literally are, wether you agree or not. most of them also don’t take hard drugs during orgies for example or getting fisted by randos, a lot of gays do = high risk activities gays also have a lot more sex partners than most straight people. your chances of getting stds through anal sex are a LOT higher than through vaginal sex. especially when your partner hooks up with an entire city before getting to you and doesn’t use condoms, which a lot do. kinda scary you don’t know all of this hope you’re not sexually active Edited July 26, 2023 by ScorpiosGroove 1

imabadkid Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 girl all men think with their d*cks and are always h*rny. so much so some "str8" men cross over to gayz because their high sex drive... I've always though it was a huge misnomer the idea that only gays engage in "high risk" sexual behavior. honey that's all men.

No injectable drugs ever. you may not and that’s great, i don’t either and i’ve slept with a ton of guys, but many are more careless / clueless which puts them and others at a higher risk, it is what it is just look at how normalized ******* anybody bb while on prep is nowadays (at least where i live) as if anal warts or antibiotic resistant gonorrhea have disappeared…
Tropez Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Because gay men are in fact at the greatest risk of contracting HIV/STIs. I know many people what to be contrarian, but straight people are at a lower risk. Possibly due to various circumstances. Last year for instance, the monkeypox was spreading mostly among gay men. 1
