Researchers have been calling for more research in the area of HIV prevention that focuses on male sexuality, and pointed out that little is known about the reasons for men engaging in less healthy lifestyles than women.

The book's discussion proceeds from examining constructions of masculine sexuality, masculinity and high risk sexual behaviours, to an exploration of the possible relationships between these and an understanding of HIV/AIDS as a gendered disease.
