The notified data of HIV/AIDS between 1995 and 2014 suggests a hypothesis that men who have sex with men (MSM) is main risky group in Korea. But social movement for prohibiting discrimination for sexual minorities could be conflicted with health program for preventing HIV/AIDS infection. Author confirmed that alarming dangerousness of MSM into public is not satisfied two conditions of discrimination. Thus, the education program for publicizing risk of HIV/AIDS infection of MSM activity should be implemented for adolescences and young adults aged 15-24 in Korea urgently.
