Gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are a diverse community with specific needs and healthcare disparities which often go unaddressed. MSM represent 2 to 10% of the U.S. population, live in every geographic location, and interface with every healthcare provider. Around a third of the populations engages in anal sex. The presenter will present practical, comprehensive primary care management specific to patients engaging in anal sex including: proper history/physical examination techniques and appropriate language, vulnerabilities and health disparities beyond just sexual health needs, appropriate preventive care including specific immunization indications and screening examinations, considerations in diagnosis and treatment, pearls in caring for this populations, intersections with race and other minority status, and practical resources which can be used in a variety of settings on a daily basis.
