Just under a quarter of a sample of 3,500 Caribbean men who have sex with men (MSM) also had sex with women a UNAIDS survey has revealed.
The survey, which covered 33 countries and territories in the Caribbean, has been following MSM for the past six months through an internet survey to better understand behavior among them.
20 men from Dominica participated in the survey.
Preliminary results of the survey was made public in Washington DC recently.
The survey revealed that just under a quarter of the 3,500 men who participated had sex with women but 15 percent didn’t consider themselves gay, bi or homosexual.
The survey revealed the following:
- 25 percent of respondents never had contact with a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community organization
- 28 percent had gone to a gay-friendly social space like a club or café
- 85 percent connected with other MSM online
It also revealed that many Caribbean MSM live their lives in relative secrecy with just over half of all respondents indicating that either few people or nobody knows that they are attracted to other men.
Officially known as Caribbean Men’s Internet Survey (CARIMIS) the exercise has received part funding from United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Organizers say men who responded to CARIMIS embody the diversity of the Caribbean. They say men from every single religion participated — from Baptist to Baha’i, Catholic to Church of God. So too was every race, they say.
Final results will be released at a later date.
When this pregnant gay man was questioned by his doctor as to who was the father the father of his unborn child,his response was “How the hell am I to know.I dont have eyes at the back of my head”.
gay is not a godly thing so for god sake let us say no to gay
You people live in the “cave era”. If you think gay is ungodly, so keep it to yourselves and your own lives, don’t try to impose it to other people’s lives that you know nothing about!
Nasty
When famous Rock Hudson died of aids in early 1980s, even the US Medical assoc was calling for men to ‘come-out’ so that many would not go the way of ole ROck. Well they ‘come-out’ by the hundreds of thousands In the US… and so did aids infections and death. The AMA pulled back their support of that idea but it was too late, it escalated beyond expectations they still cannot keep up.
You cannot do that in your country Dominica.
but what kind of batty business is that na? keep on but when God hold all you in the lake of fire all you will burn.
What is MSM? Why are the policy makers using all kinds of socially acceptable acronyms to describe buggery? Do they really believe that by making a homosexual comfortable, he will stop his nasty behaviour? When hiv/aids was discovered, health workers decided the best approach was to hide the identity of the homosexual population under the veil of “stigma”. Has this helped the epidemic? NO!!! 30 million people have died from the illness and funding money is drying up quickly. We are no closer to reducing the number of infections through sexual intercourse, than when the illness began. It is about time we call sin by its right name! A man who has passion for another man does not have to have sex with him. Sex is a choice! Buggery is also a choice! Lets spend some money on changing behaviour rather than containing bad behaviour.
The only reason I don’t care much about your point of view is because I see most of the people in your society that has the same point of view are ignorant people! Unable to see beyond yourselves and your own litle world and very quick to judge other people! So the only thing I can do is pray to God to have mercy on you.

Everytime there is a Gay article or some political rubbish, there is a Million comments, but when something positive is posted. NO COMMENTS. So tell me where the problem lies please? It lies with you the people.
YOu all embrass negativity and ignore the positives. Shame on you all
Now i can see the devel is every where, when every one becomes gay,who the children will call father or who the children will call mother, if bad and good is alright well what els can i say but one thing i know the king is a man and the queen is a woman.
No man who is having an affair with another man, none of them is going to become pregnant, on the other hand a womam having an affair with another woman, neither of them is going to get pregnant, so where is the child going to come from?, soon the population of DA is going to dwingle away. There will be no one to be called mother or father.
I mean “dwindle” not “dwingle”
I can’t believe in such an ignorant coment!!! In what world do you live? Not in the real one for sure!
Too many of our boys grow up fatherless so when a male will offer them anything they fall for it.where are the fathers step up protect your boys from those men who wants to use them.

Sindy, you must listen to the type of explossion that comes out by behind, whether loud or soft as Tiny indicated.
it look like brain damage have experience, even know how the fart coming out……….the different
Specially in your “extremely repressive society” that assume a very negative condemning “religious” attitude about homosesuality, promoting this way that people that strugle with their sexuality, close themselves in a closet and don’t have a chance to deal with it at all, maybe living that way for the rest of their lives.
well all have remember it not the guys who look feminine that is gay , and it is the guys who act tough, ganster macho . and so on that leaves their wemen at home at nights and go out looking to satisfy their other side . gay poeple have rights and they are human too . dont blame the gays blame the socalled striaght guys who roam the streets ;looking for a dollar cause they dont work .
i am please that DNO is bringing all these stories about homosexuality , because i think that we are too sheltered in Dominica and think that this is not happening in our beautiful unspoilt country , but it is, and the more we learn about it is the quicker we do something. If we haven’t noticed that there are four (4)things that are destroying our country , Drugs , Crimes ,Politics and homosexuality , And DNO has been touching all these .
You’re the reason the world laughs at Dominica. The reason that whenever people go on vacation to Dominica they want to leave as soon as they get there. The reason that medical students would never want to practice there. Ignorant people like you. Drugs and crimes are destroying every country, but, progress is being made in countries where police and officials are not lazy, narrow-minded, and slow. Homosexuality isn’t destroying anything. It’s you.
if you are so smart and you have it all figured out to the point where you think it’s me who is destroying our country? well tell me where the progress is ? progress is not measured by roads and medical students coming to Dominica or two to three people coming here on vacation etc,and tell me why do i have to hide the fact that drugs , crime , politics and homosexuality are not destroying our country ? and it’s people like you that are hiding all the negative things that are happen here and making things look OK , but it is not. I am 100% Dominican and i have the freedom of speech and the dam right o my opinion. I guess you’re a HOMO .(lol)
Oh, no no. I’m not hiding any negative things that happen here. If anything, I shout to the world what a horrible place Dominica is and how nobody should go there because it is a wasteland of ignorance and apathy. Yes, I’m a HOMO, but I’m also smart enough to know that sexual orientation has nothing to do with a country’s prosperity.
because u like roro………….
Specially in your “extremely repressive society” that assume a very negative
condemning “religious” attitude about homosesuality, promoting this way that people
that strugle with their sexuality, close themselves in a closet and don’t have a
chance to deal with that at all! living that way for the rest of their lives among
you, maybe trying to repress theyr desires but not quite succeeding, because, they
live in a society that choose to continue ignorant about the psicology of the human
beings and prefer to comdemn instead of deal with the reality!
DNO dont worry wit them citizens of sodom and gomorrah keep bringing the news so that the public can be informed of the crisis that we are facing. I see only distruction for or nation with the rise of this pagan practice, i am afraid for my unborn sons. Only when their sons start being raped and brain wash they will see the need to keep the fire burning. i say lets unite as dominicans and penalize them for their disgraceful acts, because from what i remember we are still a christian state.
Ok you are Christian? 17 “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him”.John 3:17
Show you are Christian by giving examples of love and faith and don’t worry about condemning who is homosexual for the reason you don’t even know why!
And your nation and your spiritual lives will prosper!!!
i fell sorry for them young girls they would not be able to find a good man
…………i do mind if it was them ugly one that was gay but is does cute one
then don’t date a cute one. problem solved……or so you think

you sound like u a gay. nasty man.
And you sound like a intolerant nasty individual!

It seems like everyone is forgetting its not only in the Caribbean men are on the down low. Even in societies where its legal, gays are bashed etc…no matter where you are in this world, tolerance for gays is extremely low….But, who are we to judge…
tell me y would a man with all his 5 sense, leave a woman and go find him a man, just like himself..with 2 balls and hard arms and legs, saying he love and went to sleep with.as i see it that man is mad and have lose all of his 5 sense.
You forgot the 6th sense….commonsense. He has lost all senses including commonsense.

The Same reason why you like a man…
You know! I don’t blame you people! You people are just ignorant!!!
For disclosure, I don’t endorse the behavior.

You too sotte, you do see I say I don’t endorse the behavior? You should consider taking up a reading comprehension class.
you are so retarded
i hope you ask god for forgiveness for such defamatory statement like this. how can u say something like this about the almighty? are u insane? have you lost your senses? im warning you sir get on your knees and pray to god to reign in ur heart for he is watching.
jesus will take care of you,then again maybe he has already began because you might just be wasting away his father created Adam and Eve Not Adam&Steve

women…………to tell if your partner/boyfriend/husband is having anal sex…listen to the way they fart….if it not powerful or loud at any time…it means that their anal Sphincter is loose
@tiny
Wow!!, but btw how did u come about this dramatic bit of biological perspective?
Girl what bull you talking there?
So people doesnt poom silent again man? lmao!
At this point this can only be a joke! lol
. Noon wonder woman will go wit woman cause man touching man
Don’t worry all of these “statistics”, gay affection on soap operas, bella, cartoons are just means to desensitize the populace.
I’m not even bothered with all this bashing on here of gay people. This is all Dominicans will do, make noise, empty talk! Will they sacrifice their life for anything? Oh no! Once their American Master Barack Obama speaks after his re-election and finally allows gay marriage Dominica will bow even if it takes a while
Thus, all this “christian bible thumping” is nothing but hypocrisy.
Seems like you have a problem with Obama!You must be a damn rac.st!
So what is good? Killing women because they want to go to school or fathers killing daughters because they don’t want to marry on the same religion???
This is actually a very good example how people can be traped in their own little “religious” world and show intolerance about what they don’t understand and think is against their “religious believes”
So what about the women? That’s something I believe would be more ten fold.
When women get under a drink they have no problem kissing in public. I can imagine what happens in secret with them. It have plenty woman that longing to lick a .
I find recently there is always an article on DNO about homosexuality. What’s the agenda?
Whatever it is keep it to yourselves. Bring me real issues affecting the ecomony and development of my country.
I’ve had enough!
it is a real issue . its a social issue. if you want to bury your head in sand then by all means go right ahead
“The survey revealed that just under a quarter of the 3,500 men who participated had sex with women but 15 percent didn’t consider themselves gay, bi or homosexual.” …..If only Caribbean people would mind there own dam business more men would identify as “Gay” and help stop the spread of HIV in the Caribbean by having sex with other Gay persons like themselves. ……Amen.
WELL IN THE NEXT 18 -20 YRS PAMPER WILL JUST CELL NAH HAHA
DON’T FORGET ALWAYS PADS..
ADMIN DNO, I see right through you guys!!!
I don’t mind, it’s Friday today, I just love sipping my coffee and reading the homophobic blogs pouring in on here.
To all the gay men who may read this. God loves you but hates homosexuality. It is a sin and a abomination to the lord. This is unacceptable in the eyes of God. Turn away from homosexuality!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one question for you homosexuality is a sin yes we all read the bible and was told that in sunday school but also know sleeping around is a sin half of the people do married to one woman and sleeping with half the viilage and having kids with too
kudos!!!!!!
And for the reverse, the married women. They take it a sin further, abortion.
amen
Ou sa dire sa ou vle, bugga pa ka tway. If I doh want woman, that is my business.
Les animaux sont plus inteligent que vous.Mal bete paka coupez mal bete mais mal nomme ka faire sa avec mal nomme.All god,allah,jah fearing people of all races and cultures must stand against this abomination.Next election we must ask all candidates to tell the nation where they stand on this bullshit.Are you anti gay or are you supporting this evil called homosexual.All god fearing people in Dominica must stand up against politicians who support this nastiness.
so is fornication
But was this story already released? Or is it my imagination?
yes it was its just the same
Well this is no surprise. Because of hatred and homophobia many men who are attracted to men in Dominica and the wider Caribbean have a wife or ‘girfriend ‘ as a cover. Or they will make a couple babies to say ” I have a child, I am not so”.
They also are usually the ones who sit on the side of the road and call other men “bogarra!” so that their peers do not think that they are that way.
The so called pastors love “gay bashing” because they can whip up excitement in the congregation and satisfy their egos… forgetting that Jesus said “consider the least of my brothers…”. All round the hypocracy is amazing.
Well said and so TRUE!!!!
Very well said! If you are Christians show in your deeds of love, stop judging and condemning other people and start helping people!!!
Sickening – this is why the crackers can walk all over our race because too many of our men are weak and becoming fags
Idiot!
oh so this is the reason??? wow? so all those slaves were fags then? cos they walked all over them. which means you are a descendant of a long line of fags. wow! dude, you might as well come out of the closet now.
DNO, We not interested in any of your Homosexual news. Stop this BS in looking to increase your ratings.
Continue with real news, like the issues affecting Dominicans daily. What really are you guys agenda?
oh stop being ignorant of the facts because truth comes with facts fact is we hav homosexuality in dominica truth is it is our problem when aids come to us right in our very homes and the only question asked is how did i get it when i was protecting my self but if we are well inclined about it there should be noreason why we should not want it to be our business
Specially in your “extremely repressive society” that assume a very negative

then stop reading DNO then
Oh wow! Shocking results!!! Nice method of getting hits on your website, DNO.
Organizers say men who responded to CARIMIS embody the diversity of the Caribbean. They say men from very single religion participated — from Baptist to Baha’i, Catholic to Church of God. So too was every race, they say.
IT APPEARS TO BE AN ATTACK ON THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.
Oh, here we go again…
