You're exposed to a high risk of contracting an STI. But that's okay - there are ways to manage your risk.
Men who have sex with men face a high risk of STIs, with 35% affected annually. [1]
The risk is heightened by unprotected anal sex due to the thin anal lining, increasing susceptibility to chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhoea.[2]
