sex with men). MSM include men who identify as gay or bisexual as well as men who have sex with men who don’t identify as gay or bisexual, but acknowledge sexual attraction to men. Black includes African American, African, Caribbean, and Black Hispanic; in essence, persons who identify with Black culture and history who have sex with men (MSM) who may or may not identify themselves as gay.
