A physician, Dr Nkechi Asogwa, on Tuesday in Lagos, identified cancer, HIV, infertility and short life span as major risk factors associated with homosexuality.
"Usually among homosexual community you have the prevalence of what is known as the Human Papilloma Virus and this could lead to anal cancers.
``And if a male homosexual who happens to be bisexual has sex with a woman, he could pass the same Human Papilloma Virus to the genital tract of the female.
``And years later this woman could possibly come up with cervical cancer which is also a killer disease.
``Also, Hepatitis. It’s a fatal liver condition. It could lead to liver failure, cirrhosis and liver cancer and then HIV.
``Theses are really serious health issues with a host of other sexually transmitted diseases: Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, which if a bisexual/homosexual individual transmits to a female she might end up with infertility.
``And then, there is something called the `Gay Bowel Syndrome`, inflammation of the rectum, the intestine and the colon, which eventually leads to loss of normal function and possibly death also.’’
Asogwa also said that there was high rate of psychiatric illnesses, including depression, drug abuse and suicide attempts among homosexuals.
"Researches have proved these to be true. They are not just issues that are based on emotions.
"Medically, it’s not a healthy life style,’’ Asogwa said.
