It is typical for men who have sex with men (MSM) to have several sexual partners, unstable partners, unprotected sex, or intersex relationships, all of which increase the risk of contracting human immunodeficiency virus. As a result of their behavior and close connection to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, MSM individuals have been subjected to a barrage of interrogations, condemnations, and discrimination. Study and analysis of the risk factors of MSMs will not only assist in correctly knowing and comprehending the community, but also aid in the provision of health education, sickness prevention, and treatment.
