Men who have sex with men participate in study

Some 20 men living in Dominica have so far participated in an ongoing study about men who have sex with men (MSM).

The study, the first of its kind in the Caribbean, is being done by the Caribbean Men’s Internet Survey (CARIMIS).

The agency describes it as a first attempt to gather information through the internet about the lives of MSM in the region, including those who do not self-identify as gay or bisexual.

In a release on Wednesday CARIMIS said through this anonymous exercise, respondents can safely share information about their sexual behaviour as well as insight into their relative degrees of access to HIV prevention, testing, treatment and care services.

CARIMIS said the study targets men who are 18 years or older, live in the Caribbean, were born male and either are attracted to men, have sex with men or think they might do so in the future. Male-to-female transgendered persons are included.

The release said 20 men from Dominica have joined some 2,400 men across the Caribbean who have participated in the study.

Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Caribbean Regional Support Team, Dr. Ernest Massiah, explained that the exercise would help countries in the region respond more meaningfully to the healthcare and social needs of this heterogeneous group.

“Being online gives us access to people we haven’t been able to reach through traditional study methods. It also helps people to respond more honestly to questions about their sexual practices and HIV status so that we get a clearer picture of what’s going on in each country”.
“Better data is going to lead to better policies and programmes,” Massiah said. “In the long run it will improve the quality of life for participants and those who share their experiences.”

    These guys need Psychiatric treatment first and then medical treatment. It should be made law that these effeminate guys be given male hormone (tetosterone) treatment. Then they will have more women than they can handle. If they refuse the treatment, tie them to a bed and let Dr.Cassandra fix them up. Chuk chuk chuk.

    Ok people lets face it Homosexuals are here to stay and they are not going away. So there are two paths to follow. 1. you hate them, put laws into place to restrict them and oppress them.And by doing so you will be following your religious faction and ideology and being placed into the grouping of other poor and ignorant countries around the world. look at the richest and most progressive countries in the world even small regional ones. Barbados, bahamas etc they all have gay rights. by making a certain group a persecuted minority you are only going to scare away talented people who live in and would like to live in D/ca. Your decisions which are made using a religious platform has no place in the public space. We should learn to love one another. PS anyone who makes a point based on 2000- 4000 yr old goat farmers in the middle east who where on psychedelic mushrooms a suffering from daily heat stroke should reevaluate themselves

      Your views do not change a thing. It is your manner of thinking. Many do not approve of your comments. I did not wish to give you thumbs up. You have erred and oh so badly. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
      Obviously, you are not on the side of God and morality.
      So what if homosexuals and such actions have been around for years. What difference does it make? From the beginning it has never pleased God and never will until the end of time and when we are called for our eternal judgment.
      Sin has been around for all those years. This is why God sent His Only Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ… You should know the rest.
      Homosexual activity is abnormal, wrong and intrinsically evil. It highly offends God who made Adam and Eve; not Adam and Steve. When are you going to comprehend that? Even though some of you approve it, consider that God does not approve of it and frowns on it for it offends Him?
      No matter what you or others as you who uphold and encourage it, can any one of you rescind God’s mind and change His mind, His Commandments and expectations of us? Do not look for empathy from God of all for you will not get it. He is all pure and holy.
      Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” His teachings are for each and everyone of us withh no exception.
      It appears to me that you lack godly moral and spiritual enlightenment. Smarten up! Those who practice it will pay a great price. Do not waste your time for people as you will also meet the same fate. God’s eyes are on every one and their actions, in thoughts, words and deeds.

      We have to love everyone because God is love. However as christians we are ambassadors of Jehovah God through his son Jesus Christ and so when we speak about an issue we must first speak base on his word. We can’t speak our own words but his words. So to those who say that Homosexuality is not a sin then we have to look at what Romans 1: 21-32 says. When i commit any sin, in my case fornication (sex out of marriage), i tried so hard to justify my sin but every time the word of God stood strong before me. The Romans 1 is not only related to homosexuality but every sin. If we don’t retain God in our heart He will give us up to a Reprobate mind and vile affections. That’s when we begin to do that which is unthinkable.

      Homosexuals are dominating key areas of world in particular the media. If any thing happens realting to homosexuals it becomes headline news. Christians right now are made to look like evil people when ever one speaks out. However – I think that christians must continue to stand up for truth and righteousness using only the word of God which is sharper than 2 edged sword. We should continue to love everyone genuinely even homosexuals. LET LOVE CONQUER – Love covers a multitude of sins

    At the end of the day we know that there is NOTHING we can do to TOTALLY eradicate this situation. It has been around for yearsss..since in the time of the bible… SODOM and GOMOHORA… and yes God did burn the cities to pieces, it doesn’t mean that he is going to do this now!!!. Maybe back then there was no issue of sexual transmitted disease but now that is what is killing our generation.

    I just wish people would walk around with a SIGN on their heads saying “I’m Gay, I’m Lesbian, I’m MSM or I have Aids…. But we know that is not possible and everyone covers up their sin and they know that it is wrong….

    In the END…. GOD is the ultimate JUDGE.

    reading some of these comments, it seems as if people believe that Dominica is Earth’s utopia; hate to break it to you peeps but just like every other country in the world, Dominica has its vices. Just like every other country in the world, there will be homosexuality, there will be drug trafficking, murder, robbery, rape, political and religious deviance, the list goes on. Dominica is not exempt from any of these things and unfortunately no amount of prayer will stop them from infiltrating. tis what it is

    Silly. Silly. SILLY comments being made here.

    Question – has it ever occurred to any of you that most homosexual men would LIKE to be attracted to women?

    Do you think these men PREFER to be insulted, beat up, condemned and hated by most of society? Look how commenters here are speaking about firing squads and the like. Do you think that makes someone happy?

    So here’s a thought – if DESPITE all this, they are still attracted to men… maybe they can’t help it. Or maybe they just enjoy having to hide, being ostracised, rejected by their family and losing jobs. :-?

    It is STUPID attitudes like the ones here that make these men then hide up behind wives and girlfriends that they don’t love and aren’t attracted to. Because they are so scared.

    But it seems you all would rather the hypocrisy and unfaithfulness and bad sex and unhappiness and disease and strife that brings rather than let people love who they love in peace.

    Flipping FOOLS, the lot of you! :-x

      March 8, 2012

      I strongly disagree with you. Homosexuality can be treated by behavioral and cognitive therapy. These homosexuals do not want to stop their deviant practices; the financiers of this morally depraved practice want this to flourish so that they can fulfill their evil and corrupted desires.

      • Evolved
        March 8, 2012

        Dawoud – if homosexuality can be treated so can absolute stupidity. You have no basis for what you are saying. Heterosexual men and women engage in deviant practices – so you are argument has no basis.

        I feel sorry for Dominica and Dominicans – they are so deep in the dark ages that it might just be too late to pull them back.

        Wake up from your ignorance – development can only come if peoples minds are open.

      • Dawoud D
        March 8, 2012

        There is a difference between heterosexual men and women who engage in deviant practices and homosexuality in itself. The case here is not against heterosexuality as this is off topic. Please stick to the issue at hand. It is your comment which has no basis. Homosexuality is an unnatural sexual perversion whether you want to accept this or not. It is dangerous for the social well being as we see the highest HIV infested groups according to http://www.cdc.gov/

      • da in usa
        March 8, 2012

        a homosexual can go to behavioral or cognitive therapy for as long as they want but the only thing it will do is repress the behavior not extinguish it. personally I find it quite unethical for a therapist to treat homosexuality as a disorder when it is not (it’s no longer in the DSM). What cognitive therapy should do is to help the person cope with who they are in a society that deems them as deviants; cognitive therapy should help them accept who they are when others don’t, because in the end, repressing who they really are leads to more detrimental effects on their psyche.

      • Dawoud D
        March 9, 2012

        @ da in US: A homosexual is not a part of one’s personality. It is just as evil as prostitution, promiscuity, adultery and fornication.

        The DSM is wrong. It was removed for political reasons, not for scientific reasons. Homosexuality is a sexual perversion like pedophilia, necrophilia and bestiality. Thus to suppress this disease of homosexuality is the correct thing to do in a society. It is a destructive practice.

      • June 20, 2013

        Dawold: Thank you for yor intelligent and informed comments. Facts are one thing the homosexual movement does not have on their side. You are abslutely right. Homosexuality is a mental disorder and it is evil in the same category as the other sexual horrors you have mentioned. It can be successfully treated IF the subject truly wants to be set free. But more than anything else I want to commend you for stating the truth about the DSM. In the most dishonest manner – for totally unscientific and political reasons – homosexuality was removed from (I forget the exact words) but it was removed from the list of mental disorders. I have read again and again the story of that dark day. It makes me wonder how many psychiatrists follow the DSM in their practices because they know why the de-listing took place and how the book has been revised. Yet, the people out there don’t know and don’t want to know. “Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.” Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

      @ Caribbean Lady

      You refer to yourself as a lady? I have reservations about you. Note your last comment. :twisted:
      They can help themselves very well. They want to make their own cake and eat it too. If they have a wife or girlfriend, they do not care if they give the women HIV. If they sincerely love those women they would not participate in this type of immoral behaviour.
      What would you state about married men who have girlfriends? Would you make the similar excuse for them by saying that they cannot help themselves while they expect the wife or girlfriend to be faithful to them?
      If they cannot help themselves then they are sick. They should see a counselor or a psychiatrist. Better yet, turn to God, worship Him and implore Him to heal them of this immorality which highly offends Him.
      I do not think that they want to change and are interested in changing. They are too happy in such a relationship and having fun.
      Ask them about it and let them speak for themselves. Advise them to change their lifestyle. Make no excuses for them for God will not make excuses for immorality and those who commit same.

        Fine then. Caribbean Woman if cussing makes me less of a lady. I don’t business. :mrgreen:

        As for wanting to have their cake and eat it too. Those are the ones who are cowards – they do not represent all homosexuals, though they represent too many.

        There are many homosexual men who have the courage to be themselves openly and have never asked a woman a question yet. I have a friend who may as well be married – is so long he and his boyfriend have been together. They live quietly and peaceably together and don’t try to fool anyone that they are other than what they are.

        More homosexuals should be like him – if they were, we would have less spread of HIV and AIDS.
        Shoot, in fact more straight men should be like him because they are faithful to each other.

        But not everyone has the courage of my friend. And based on the hateful, ignorant comments here, I can see why it is hard for other gay men to be courageous.

        As for your comments about married men with girlfriends and your claim that I am making ‘excuses’… please don’t try that. You are not clever enough to try those tricks. :roll: I said hateful attitudes make men hide – I never said it was ok.

        As for the nonsense about their behaviour highly offending God. Since when you are God’s spokesman? How you know what highly offends God? chupse

        As for the simplistic, nonsensical idea that prayer can cure homosexuality – you really so foolish behind religion?

        Prayer is not a cure-all. It is mostly comfort – asking God to give you strength to endure what you are bearing. If prayer was a cure all, then what about people who are about to be murdered and are praying for someone to find them and help them? Or parents whose children are dying of some illness who pray for their child to be spared?

        Why aren’t their prayers answered? Riddle me that before you present prayer as a solution.

    • March 19, 2015

      Your theory is wrong.

      Many homosexual men WERE attracted to women. They dated, married, and had children. Some had a moral meltdown because they began drinking, messing with gay porn, experimenting with homosexuality, and left their marriages. The same is true of women.

      Other men trace their same sex inclinations to a bad relationship with a parent, or the fact that they were molested by another male in their youth. For some the feeling may have been present the first time they experienced any type of sexual arousal.

      However, if a man (of woman) is born with same sex inclinations this is no reason to accept it as normal and pursue it. People are also born with physical irregularities and abnormalities. We try to recognize these problems early and treat them when it is possible.

      Homosexual men and women have been helped to change through therapy. Others have been delivered by the power of Christ.

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.

I say if you find someone you can love and get along with, hang onto them like grim death as this does not come along too often these days.

      It depends on who is responding. They are not judging. You are judging those who provide their comments. Do not water down the truth and also deny it.
      They are stating a fact, telling it like it is that homosexual practice is immoral. It is a disgrace; shameful; wrong. These people have accepted their immorality and are living it and have no intentions of changing. This does not mean that others must accept them, applaud, condone and encourage them. They have a severe problem and they should look to God to change them. Obviously, this is the only way they will change.
      It is not judging them when we say that homosexuals will never enter Heaven. There are no homosexuals in Heaven and never will unless they change their ways, repent, make penance and restitution and live a godly life. They can only do this with the help of God.
      St. Paul said, “Nothing defiled will enter God’s Kingdom.”

      They will have much to answer to God for. It is obvious that they do not care too hoots about him. They are encouraging each other to live such a life.
      It is not judging them but if they die and are faced with their eternal judgment, what will they do? They will regret every day they lived and will beg God for mercy but they may not obtain it for they never cared about pleasing Him in the first place but themselves and sinful and selfish desires.

    Ok well, though personally I’, not in support of homosexuality, the reality is that there really are more than 20 men in dominica who have sex with men. If they want to have a survey about it, it’s benefits the rest of us, because they want to know what their sexual habits are, if they use protection etc. it means that we heterosexuals, especially women, will be better protected in the end. As I said I am not for gay but if they want to come out in the open I’m all for that, it beats being married to one and finding out LATER. Wouldn’t it be better, if they’re not going to change to AT LEAST know who they are so we wouldnt be duped into relationships with them when they’re only trying to HIDE their gay tendency? whether we approve or not at least we will have the info. Knock homosexuality but don’t knock the study…it benefits us.

        @ Take a Pill Chill

        Wars killed many men. Today homosexuals are the result of the additional 20 women to 1 man.
        On earth all things are temporary and are passing since nothing lasts forever but everything may take time.
        Life has a way of giving back to people exactly what they deserve, in the long run but it is really God’s earthly punishment and later eternal punishment. God is patient.
        The young also get old and older and in the end when illness and old age set in, those who think that they are macho and rule the world and do what they want may not have two feet to stand on and also may not have the energy to speak, to see people and to hear what is going on around them.
        It is said that there will be more women in Heaven than men. It is worst yet today with this homosexual situation.
        As Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “In Heaven, they neither marry nor are handed over in marriage.” Therefore, the women do not have to worry about that. They will be happy in Heaven with their God and others who will be in Heaven. O Happy Day!

Is either they for it or against it. De bible talk about that can of behavior. Why all u think god made woman for man so man can make babies. If anyone of u who support this bull shit can tel me of one instance where man and man had a baby by getting pregnant then i myself wil turn gay. I will take my hard earn salary and buy sex than to sleep wit man. Ah ah not on my team. Woman private to sweet i wil sleep and die in it. Is because of people like some of u that supporting this thats why there is so much of this men in dominica. If de supporters of this forget let me remind u to go in de toilet and take a shit and see how it smell then that alone should tell u it wrong. Give me woman 24 7 til i die.

      This type of situation gets me angry. Let me further inform you the reason why some people and churches do not say anything it is because they may fear being attacked. I do not blame them. I do believe that they pray for those who commit such abominations including criminals, others who do not adhere to God’s Commandments and who do not practice the faith. They take it to the Lord in prayer.
      As much as I wish, I do not hear about it from the pulpit in Toronto but I hear a lot about it on Catholic Radio and TV and at relevant prayerful gatherings.
      As we pray for an end to this abomination, in time, God will do with those prayers as He so wills. Let Him who is God and the Judge of all handle this situation as He sees fit. Rest assured and be confident that He surely will for He is not blind to the sins of the world which so highly offend Him, two of the worst ones, homosexuality, lesbianism and so-called same sex marriage. They will not escape His fair and just wrath, judgment and recompense. This includes those as also politicians who condone and encourage it and legislate it. The Holy Bible of the New Testament teaches us against this abomination. I do believe that they will not have a good, happy and peaceful end as they make the transition from life to death.

      It would be a wise idea to approach them about it and ask why they are keeping silent on this immorality which is against the Church’s teachings as contained in the New Testament. People need to be reminded about the repercussion of their actions and this is God’s judgment.

    You just can’t compare ‘that’ to what women do…totally different behaviors. What these guys do is not defined as sex which is between opposite sexes. Men have tried for years to give it soft labels such as ‘sex’, ‘gay’ etc. to soften what it really is for the mainstream, but it’s bogar. It’s like saying when plants cross-polinate (although they bear fruit as a result) that they are having ‘sex’.

    Men will try anything just because they can.

      Then let them keep it in their bedrooms, behind closed doors as they did in previous years and not bring it out in the open, in society and expect us to condone it and approve of it as they also contaminate the minds of the youth. The majority of people will never condone it for obvious reasons. Even behind closed doors, they cannot hide from God.

    It is known that agents at work are doing their best to ensure that the laws against homosexuality are abolished.

    The rise in HIV incidence among young adults was fueled by a 34 percent increase in HIV infections among young gay and bisexual men. http://www.cdc.gov/msmhealth/HIV.htm

    We hope that Dominicans will take the time to look into the increase in HIV cases over the years through this unnatural sexual perversions. We are already languishing in our population, do we want to die out as a people? Continue this destructive path still…

      Take this to those participants of homosexuality and advise them accordingly. They choose that path. It appears that they do not care about their health and welfare. Why should we care? We cannot help them if they cannot help themselves.
      God help those who help themselves to worship, life, health and strength. By their actions they have ignored God and what is stated in Holy Scriptures of the New Testament against homosexuality.

      @ Dawoud D – you took the time to find an article from the CDC showing data for the U.S. when, if you really wanted to make a valid point, data from CAREC or another regional group would have given you more credibility. HIV is not a homosexual disease. It is the result of risky sexual behaviours by both men and women. We read the Dear Bella articles here all the time where some young woman is cheating (sometimes with married men). Guess what? They are just as at risk as an MSM. Stop the misinformation!

      At least the survey can give an insight into the lives of MSM and public health officials can better target their prevention message. What we need is a survey on those “macho” men making frequent banking transactions in the hairy bank. STDs go both way!

      • Dawoud D

        @ Reader

        I agree that it is not a disease. Their acts which I am not making explicit and which you are fully aware of is the cause of HIV. It is a scourge, a punishment and there is no cure for it.
        Sadly, many men have died (no exception women) due to HIV; those men who also give their partners as their wives and girlfriends HIV.
        It is my feeling that the governments in the western world should severely punish those who contaminate their wives and girlfriends. Babies also contract it in their mother’s wombs.
        Are you aware that a few have been sentenced to prison for a few years in Canada/Toronto because they knew that they had HIV and wilfully did not tell the women and so they contracted it. This is a death sentence for them.
        I would not teach about prevention. I would teach about abstinence but they will not listen.

      • Light
        March 9, 2012

        What kills me is that ignorant, misinformed people like Truth & Justice (both of which is lacking in this individual) see and attack only what they choose to in order to feed their cause.

        Homosexuality is not the cause of HIV…UNSAFE SEXUAL PRACTICES and INTRAVENOUS DRUG USE are the primary causes of HIV.

        WHO someone is does not automatically spread or cause HIV. WHAT someone does (sexual practices), however, are the actions that lead to infection. Most of the known infections among women are because of unprotected sex with men and intravenous drug use. It is much more difficult (not impossible) for a woman to give it to a man so the spread of HIV is due in most part to men thinking they can’t get it or refusing to use protection. Men are more promiscuous than women, yet men are the first to accuse a woman of her infidelity or carrying of disease.

        How do we end the epidemic? EVERYONE use protection and stop having sex with anyone without protection. Gender inequity globally makes it extremely challenging for women to protect themselves when men refuse to.

        But trying to convince the ignorant people on here that their opinions/views/judgments are NOT based in fact and invalid is like telling the crazy person the voices they hear in their head aren’t real.

        The sad part is, they are spreading it

      • Light
        March 9, 2012

        To say that women are ONLY getting it from men who have sex with other men is taking the responsibility and accountability away from heterosexual men who are as equally responsible for the global spread of HIV. And as equally accountable for being irresponsible, not using protection, and being misogynistic and oppressive towards women…all over the world!!

Do you think that DNO management would take it upon themselves to do so? I doubt it. As an afterthought, who knows? Some people are involved in that. It may be the government or the UN or W.H.O.
      Recall what the British PM and President Obama stated some time ago and about withholding funding for those countries that will not comply to recognize those people?
      Some of those politicians are working towards making the entire world or rather forcing them to accept it, as those governments. Little do they know that they are not on the side of God even though they appear to be practicing Christians. They are ignorant in the faith and taking God for granted and thinking He can be deceived. They will find out someday who is really the boss of the world.

      I am also an advocate of human rights. This is not a matter of human rights. It is a matter of two men as sexual partners. Should you be further reminded that it is abnormal and intrinsically evil? These people will bring down the wrath of God upon their country and its nationals. Some of them, those politicians, are so naive that they do not realize their country, i.e., those who participate in this abomination and who legislate it, that it is getting from bad to worst and that they appear not to be able to manage the affairs of the country. A ball of confusion indeed.
      They have a right to fair employment and housing but by no means legislating this abomination. Those who do and who encourage it, to mention a few examples, suffer from a mortal (moral) and spiritual defect of their brains, mind and heart.
