Good Example Of Research Proposal On Gay Marriage

- INTRODUCTION
- Background Information
- People in gay marriages continue to be discriminated against despite the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
- Thesis statement
- Gay marriages greatly contribute to the increasing prevalence of HIV/AIDS through the act of men having sex with men (MSM).
- Social factors and behavioral aspects raise the vulnerability of MSM to getting HIV infection. The HIV pandemic thus affects MSM disproportionately.
- There is strong pressure from many societies against gay marriages. As a result, many gay men marry women to conceal their real sexual orientation because the culture of the societies in which they live does not approve of gay marriages.
- This violates the right of individuals to the dignity of a human being.
- SEXUAL BEHAVIORS AND USE OF CONDOMS
- Many people in gay relationships do not use condoms in their sexual encounters.
- Some gay men have sex with women without condoms to cover up for their true sex orientations.
- The prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS has increased with the increased promiscuity and heterosexual relationships especially where no condoms are used.
- KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIV/AIDS AND UTILIZATION OF SOCIAL SERVICE
- Studies have shown that majority of gay people are aware about the prevalence of HIV/AIDS.
- A good number of people have access to peer education and freely distributed condoms.
- FACTORS ATTRIBUTED TO HIV INFECTION
- A number of factors can be linked to higher risk of getting HIV infection using univariate analysis: infection of syphilis, being a non-local resident, lower education levels, and syphilis infection.
- People who received and continued to use condoms consistently condom in their previous sexual intercourse decreased the risk of getting an HIV infection.
- CONCLUSION
- Restatement of thesis
Gay marriages or relationships expose MSM to a greater likelihood of getting HIV/AIDS and the situation is worsened when preventive measures are not taken when having sexual intercourse.
- Recommendation
The UDHR should be upheld by all people in order to allow gay persons access good health care without social pressure against their behavior.
