Condomless sex increasing in US gay men – especially in HIV-negative and untested men

The proportion of gay men in the US who have had anal sex without a condom at least once in the past year has increased by 9% in the last six years, data from the country’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports.
The CDC report found that by 2011 gay men formed more than half of all people diagnosed with HIV in all but two US states (South Dakota and Pennsylvania). Gay men especially predominated in the west coast states (California, Oregon and Washington) where they formed more than 80% of the diagnosed population, while they formed less than 60% in the metropolitan Boston-to-Washington-DC axis, and in the southern states of Louisiana and Florida.
