Amanina ngakumbi nangakumbi ayavula malunga nokwabelana ngesondo kwawo, ngokutsho kuphando lukazwelonke olwenziwe ngamaziko oLawulo lweZifo noKhuselo akhutshwe kwinyanga ephelileyo. Ngaphezu kwe-5 pesenti yabasetyhini bathi bathandana nesini esi sibini ngeli xesha, xa kuthelekiswa ne-3.9 yepesenti xa uphando lwagqityelwa ukwenziwa ngo-2011. "Xa umntu echonga ngokuthe tye okanye isitabane, kulula ukufumana uluntu olwamkelayo, kodwa ngabantu abathandanayo, kukho amathuba ambalwa," utshilo u-Aron C. Janssen, MD, unjingalwazi oncedisayo weklinikhi kwi-NYU Langone Medical Centre, ogxile kwezesini kunye isini. "I-Bisexuals ihlala ifumana ibala kunye nokukhetha kuwo omabini la maqela."

Ngaphezu koko, abaphandi baseLondon School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine baphonononge phantse i-1,000 labasetyhini abathandana besini esinye kunye nangaphezulu kwama-4,500 amabhinqa athandana namanye e-UK kwaye bafumanisa umahluko omkhulu wabantu phakathi kwala maqela mabini-oko kukuthi amabhinqa athandana nesini babebancinci kwaye bengaphantsi kakuhle ngokwezimali kunelesbians. Umahluko omkhulu kwezempilo yengqondo ubonakele nawo. Xa kuthelekiswa neelesbians, abathandanayo bebengama-64 epesenti ngaphezulu amathuba okuba bachaze imiba yokutya, ama-26 epesenti amathuba okuba bazive bedakumbile okanye bedakumbile, kunye nama-37 epesenti ngakumbi amathuba okuba bazenzakalise kunyaka ophelileyo. (Ngaba uyazi ukuba indibaniselwano yomthambo kunye nokucamngca kunokunciphisa uxinzelelo?)

Kunzima ukwenza ngokubanzi ukuba kutheni le micimbi ichaphazela abantu abathandana nabantu besini esinye okanye isini esahlukileyo kuba uninzi lwabantu abathandanayo bonwabile ngokugqibeleleyo. Kodwa ucalucalulo oluphindwe kabini oluvela kuzo zombini iindawo ezichanekileyo nezingqingili zidlala indima enkulu. "Kukho uluvo olubizwa ngokuba luxinzelelo oluncinci apho ukuba ligcuntswana elihlelelekileyo likhokelela ekwandeni koxinzelelo kwaye oko kunokukhokelela kwiziphumo ezibi kwimpilo yengqondo nakwimimandla yezonyango," utshilo uJanssen.

Kwiimeko ezininzi, olu xinzelelo lunokubangelwa kukufikisa. Ubufanasini, nangaphezu kobufanasini, bunokukhokelela ekuxhatshazweni esikolweni. UJanssen uthi: "Ukuba uphethwe gadalala ebuntwaneni, kunokwenzeka ukuba uqhubeke nalo mjikelo ebudaleni kwaye uzifumanele ubudlelwane apho ulixhoba lokuxhatshazwa." Ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-46 zabantu ababhinqileyo abanamava odlwengulo ebomini babo, ngokokutsho koPhando lwaBaseTyhini abasenyongweni kunye nobuNdlobongela obuphathelele kwezesondo kutshanje kumaZiko oLawulo noKuthintela iZifo. Olo lunyuko olubalulekileyo ukusuka kwi-13.1 yeepesenti yabasetyhini abathandana nabasetyhini kunye ne-17.4 yeepesenti yabasetyhini abathandana nesini esahlukileyo abenzayo.

Ngaphezulu kwayo yonke into, phantse ikota yabantu abathandana besini esinye abanayo i-inshurensi yezempilo, xa kuthelekiswa neepesenti ezingama-20 zabantu abathandana besini esingafaniyo kunye ne-17 leepesenti yabantu abathandana nabasetyhini okanye abathandana nabasetyhini, ifumana ingxelo evela kwiKaiser Family Foundation. Oku kusenokubangelwa ngumahluko kumvuzo okanye ukungazi nje iinketho zeinshurensi phaya, utshilo u-Alina Salganicoff, Ph.D., usekela-mongameli kunye nomlawuli womgaqo-nkqubo wezempilo wabasetyhini kwiKaiser Family Foundation.

Ngethamsanqa, abafazi abathandanayo abathandanayo banokuthatha amanyathelo okhuseleko kunye nempilo yabo kwezi ngozi.

Fumana i-inshurensi

Iindaba ezimnandi sisenzo sokufumana i-inshorensi kulula ukubulela kuMthetho woNonophelo oZifikelelekayo kunye nokubhukuqwa koMthetho woKhuselo loMtshato, utshilo uSalganicoff. Ngoku kuchasene nomthetho ukwala i-inshorensi esekelwe kwimeko ekhoyo-njengesigulo sengqondo okanye usulelo lwe-HIV. Kwaye abantu abatshatileyo ngoku banokwanda kokugubungela phakathi kwabesini esifanayo kunye nabaqeshi; ukubhukuqwa koMthetho woKhuselo loMtshato kuthetha ukuba abantu besini esifanayo abatshatileyo banokuxhamla kwi-inshurensi yezempilo yamaqabane abo. Kwaye imbonakalo yabangakhuselwanga isenokungabi mbi njengoko ibonakala. Idatha esinayo ivela phambi koMthetho woNonophelo oZifikelelekayo kunye nokwehliswa koMthetho woKhuselo loMtshato ngokwenene waba nesiphumo, utshilo uSalganicoff. Kwezi ntsuku, kulula ukufumana i-inshorensi, ngoko ke kunokwenzeka ukuba bambalwa abantu ababhinqileyo abanesini esibini abangakhuselwanga kunokuba bekunjalo ngo-2013.

Khusela Impilo Yakho Yengqondo

Thatha inyathelo eliya phambili kwaye uzikhusele nasengqondweni. "Injongo yaso nasiphi na isicwangciso sonyango lomntu ngamnye kukuba ikhethwe yedwa," utshilo uJanssen. Oko kuthetha ukuba uphathwa ngempilo yengqondo, nokuba ulala nabantu besini esinye, uthe tye, okanye ungqingili, kuya kufuneka ukhathalelwe ngendlela efanayo. Kukho neendlela zokuphucula impilo yakho yengqondo ngaphandle kweofisi kagqirha. I-Bisexuals kunqabile ukuba iphumele kubahlobo nakwiintsapho zabo kuba baziva bebanabandayo, ngokutsho kwabaphandi base-UK. Ukuphuma kubahlobo kunye nosapho kunokuba yinto elungileyo-kwaye uncede uluntu oluthandana nabantu abathandanayo kwinqanaba elikhulu. “Ukuqhubela phambili uthi, ‘Nantsi isazisi sam,’ kuya kunceda ukwaphula loo miqobo,” utsho uJanssen. "Ukwakha uluntu lwabantu abesilisa nabasetyhini kubaluleke kakhulu, kwaye kubalulekile ukuba uvule kwaye uthembeke malunga nokuba ungubani." (IiNgxaki zeMpilo?

Lumkela Ugonyamelo Lwasekhaya

Abasetyhini abathandana ngokwesini abakhe baxhatshazwa kwixesha elidlulileyo kufuneka baphathe umngcipheko wobundlobongela basekhaya ngendlela abasetyhini abanomnombo wembali yomhlaza wamabele benzayo: ngokuqaphela umngcipheko kunye nokuthatha imiqathango eyongezelelweyo ukuze bahlale bekhuselekile, utsho uSalganicoff. Ukuba ubudlelwane obunobundlobongela sele bukhona, abafazi abathandanayo, abathandana nabasetyhini kunye nabasetyhini ngokufanayo kufuneka bacofe umnxeba wasekhaya wobundlobongela ngo-800-787-3224 ukubeka isicwangciso sokhuseleko.
