Go beyond the statistics to discover why many gay and bisexual men take the health risk--and what can be done about it The rate of new HIV diagnoses and other sexually transmitted infections among men having sex with men has increased sharply, especially in men of color. Barebacking: Psychosocial and Public Health Approaches examines in depth the reasons why so many gay and bisexual men indulge in "barebacking," or intentional unprotected sex.
