Homosexual men may be deterred from seeking an examination for sexually transmitted diseases because it would require an open admission of sexual preference. For these diseases to be controlled, gay men must be motivated to be examined for sexually transmitted diseases. If a medical or health professional feels unable to respond to a gay patient's needs, he should refer the patient to someone who deals well with gay patients. Health care services must be offered in a way that minimizes the anxiety many homosexuals associate with examination and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases.
男同性恋者可能会因需要公开承认性取向而不愿寻求性传播疾病检查。为了控制这些疾病，必须促使男同性恋者接受性传播疾病检查。如果医疗或健康专业人员觉得无法满足男同性恋患者的需求，他应该将患者转介给善于应对男同性恋患者的人。必须以尽量减少许多同性恋者在接受性传播疾病检查和治疗时所感受到的焦虑的方式提供医疗服务。
