Gay fisting stories
HIV-positive gay men and sexual transmission of HCV - fisting is key
Fisting was the sexual risk practice most strongly connected with the sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus amongst HIV-positive gay men in a revise conducted in London and published in the August 1st edition of Sexually Transmitted Infections. Although unprotected anal sex has been associated with the transmission of hepatitis C in previous studies, investigators from the Sex, Health and Anti-Retrovirals Project (SHARP) launch that after controlling for numbers of sexual partners, fisting was the only factor significantly paired with contracting hepatitis C during four years of follow-up.
In recent years there has been a marked increase in the incidence of acute hepatitis C infection seen in HIV-positive gay men in the UK. Unprotected anal intercourse and fisting have been particularly linked with the sexual transmission of hepatitis C, but the exact factors affecting transmission are uncertain. Investigators therefore analysed data provided by HIV-positive queer men about their recent sexual, behav
The exciting anthology, “A Amazing Gay Book: Stories of Growth, Belonging & Other Queer Possibilities,” publishing May 21, is edited by Ryan Fitzgibbon, founder of the now defunct “Hello Mr.” magazine. This page volume collects more than 50 interviews, poems, brief stories, essays, graphic panels and more.

We look at each other across the water; resigned, withdrawn, distant. He hoists himself onto his knees; falling fluid smacking on liquid. He shuffles closer, liquid frothing as it crashes against his body. The eruption destroys the stillness, ushering in a new period of wakefulness and anxiety.
Beneath the surface, his hand explores, crawling into the unexplored darkness. As the hand seeps deeper, my breath quickens. The entry of a finger transports me to my last rectal exam; the intrusion of a third hits a nerve that causes my back to contort. As his body disappears beneath the surface, he whispers, the sound barely escaping narrowly parted lips.
“Relax”.
The breath tickles the lob of my ear.
“Just…Relax…”
