5 Questions Every Gay Man Should Be Asking His Doctor (but Isn’t)

What do circumcision, men's virility, and staying safe in today's sexual environment have in common?
Gay, straight, bi, or trans... men of all sexual preferences sometimes feel embarrassed talking to their doctors about sex. Unless their physician directly addresses the issue, some men may avoid it, even when a serious problem may be present.

Here are five key issues that gay men in particular should be talking about with their doctors.

  • I'm considering taking an oral erectile dysfunction medication. How will that medication interact with others drugs I'm taking?
  • As a gay man, do I need to worry about HPV?
  • If my partner has passed an AIDS test, is it all right for us to have unprotected sex?
  • Is everything normal down there?
  • Should I have a PSA?

Dudley Danoff, MD, FACS, joins Melanie Cole, MS, to share the five key issues and questions that all men, but particularly gay men, should be asking their doctors.
