Abstract
For reasons embedded in historical, social, cultural and biological phenomena, the sociocultural experiences of gay men living with chronic illnesses other than HIV have remained unexamined within gay communities, within gay affirmative medical and social services, and within broader, heterosexually focused medical and social service systems. As a result, the specific needs of these men are largely undefined and potentially unmet. This article focuses a lens of inquiry on the psychosocial issues and social service needs of gay men living with chronic illnesses other than HIV, offers recommendations for providing services that respond proactively to the specific needs of these men, and advocates for more inclusive and comprehensive social service and health care systems.
