For young gay men there may be particular problems with trying to practice safer sex. Some young gay men may not feel secure about obtaining or using extra strong condoms for anal sex because if they are seen purchasing or in possession of them it might be interpreted as a disclosure of gay identity. They also rarely have the benefit of sex education in school in which sexual behavior between same-sex partners is discussed. This can make it very hard for young gay men to feel comfortable about negotiating safer sex. And the result is unsafe sex.
