Discrimination and a lack of access to health services have sparked an alarming rise in the rate of new HIV infections among Gay men in developing countries. Studies have found that infection rates are growing among Gay men in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and less than 5 percent of those men have access to HIV-related health care, according to a statistics released by the American Foundation for AIDS Research, or amfAR. Statistics show the rate of infection with HIV among Gay men growing exponentially in parts of the developing world.

In Senegal nearly 22 percent are thought to be infected, compared to 0.9 percent of the general population.
