Abstract:
Older gay and bisexual men constitute diverse, sizable, and potentially vulnerable populations. They have and continue to face discrimination and stigma in multiple settings, including health care. Older gay and bisexual men report worse health, higher rates of alcohol and tobacco use, and higher HIV rates compared with their heterosexual counterparts. They have unique needs and experiences in multiple realms of health care including mental health, sexual health, and cancer screenings. Geriatric medicine physicians and providers can educate themselves on these unique needs and risks and take steps to provide inclusive, affirming care.
