Among men overall, it is estimated that 23% have experienced sexual violence other than rape during their lifetimes. These rates are higher among gay and bisexual men, for whom lifetime prevalence of sexual violence other than rape was reported to be 40% and 47%, respectively. In another recent study 18% of gay and bisexual men reported having experienced forced-sex at some point in their lifetimes. With men too, the experience of HIV and IPV appear to be intertwined. Twelve percent of HIV positive men who reported having sex with men in one nationally representative study also reported experiencing violence by a partner or someone close to them since their diagnosis, with nearly half believing that the violence was related to their HIV status.
