MSM - Men who have Sex with Men
As it was in the earliest days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, gay and bisexual men (men who have sex with men, MSM) comprise the majority of HIV/AIDS cases in the U.S., representing over half of those infected with HIV/AIDS. About two-thirds of new HIV infections in the U.S. each year are among MSM. The impact is heaviest on African American MSM. MSM represent about 40% of clients served by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.
