title: Gay men and HIV/AIDS: understanding the double stigma.
abstract: Many men with HIV/AIDS are and will continue to be homosexual or bisexual. Effective care requires understanding the impact of the double stigma of being gay and having HIV/AIDS. While providers have traditionally focused on gay men with HIV disease as individuals, this article directs providers' attention to the importance of social dimensions in creating a plan of care.
