The Center for Disease Control and Prevention website has current facts about HIV and AIDs as it relates to gay and bisexual men. The CDC goes into detail on how HIV and AIDs can be transmitted by gay and bisexual men through unprotected anal sex. The CDC website also provides statistics using charts and graphs on the number of gay and bisexual men currently living with HIV and AIDs all over the United States. This is a great credible source for my queer object condoms, because it shows what the consequences can be for not using a condom. It also meets Wikipedia’s standards for a reliable source because it’s information is gathered from research by medical professionals and published by a well-known organization.

This article talks about how gay, bisexual, and queer adolescent males can get involved in online focus groups as an HIV prevention program. Males ranging from ages 14-18 years old participate in national online focus groups learning about GBQ sexual health related topics, which result in behavioral and attitudinal changes within them. The males that participated in the focus groups said they were more comfortable talking about sex in general and their own sexuality, as well as the use of condoms. This article allows me to introduce adolescents in my topic, and show how they play apart of my queer objective. This article also lets me provide examples of prevention programs that are out there as it relates to condoms. This article is a credible source that meets Wikipedia’s standards as a reliable source because it’s a secondary source that is in a scholarly journal and is peer reviewed.

The WebMD “The Hard Facts On Condoms” actually provides hard facts about condoms. This website pretty much dissects a condom in a way that everyone can understand. It starts out by giving the history and origin of how the condom came about, and what it is made of. Then it even separates the condoms by sex talking about what a male condom is. Next it goes into detail on what condoms can be used for and what the purpose of a condom really is. Moving right along it answers the question do condoms work, and lastly it gives you step-by-step directions on how to use a condom. I think this is one of my best sources for my queer objective because it gives my readers a basic understanding and history of my objective without being an information overload. Not only is this a credible source that meets Wikipedia’s standards since it was peer reviewed by Doctor Nivin Todd. It is published by a very popular website WebMD.
