GAMBIA - (2008, ): Gay men and lesbians must leave the country within 24 hours or face “serious consequences,” the President of Gambia said on Thursday. - (2008): Gay rights activists have condemned Gambian President Yahya Jammeh's threat to behead homosexuals.. - (2008, ): British tourists in the Gambia are being advised that the government there is “actively enforcing” laws against gay people. A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesperson told PinkNews.co.uk that their advice was updated today. Two Spanish men have been taken into custody by police in the Gambia after being accused of trying to solicit sex from male taxi drivers.The EU nationals were arrested on Friday after complaints from the drivers and remain in prison..

(2004): It is no simple feat to obtain a student visa and an airline flight in one month’s time. But at the point Yorro Kuyateh fled his native Gambia for the United States, the impossible seemed easier to face than what he said is the inevitable: a lifetime of periodic imprisonment and vicious beatings for his political beliefs and his homosexuality. - (2004). - (2003). - (2003): In addition to those motives for being interested in working in the HIV/AIDS field, there were the more personal reasons. There was the issue of being gay... My work in The Gambia gave me the opportunity to see the epidemic from a different perspective. It put me in a place where the reality of the epidemic was still not understood. I was lucky to have the foresight when I worked in the Gambian villages that if people weren’t educated early on about the dangers and consequences of this disease, then communities there and around the world would continue to be unnecessarily hurt.

GUINEA / GUINÉE - : Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Guinea face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Guinea.- ().

(2008, ): La discrimination à l’encontre des homosexuels n’est pas interdite par la loi. Il n’existe aucune loi discriminatoire concernant les orientations sexuelles. Bien qu’il y ait de profonds tabous sociaux, religieux et culturels contre l’homosexualité, aucun cas n’a été officiellement signalé concernant la discrimination à l’encontre d’homosexuels. .

(1998): Manga and Sori are youngsters about to finish school. In the evening they meet, "to revise for exams", as they tell their parents. Actually, they share amorous moments of tenderness in Sori's car, or outside cafes. With Dakan, the first African movie about homosexuality , the Guinean actor Mohamad Camara tells a touching and humble love story, his first feature as a director and scriptwriter. - (1998, ): In the film, however, the relationship is never consummated. For Camara this is a deliberate choice: "I'm not gay myself," says the 39-year-old director, who is married with two children. "I just felt it was important for Africans to speak about homosexuality. Maybe it'll help open the minds of the continent". But, after Dakan was first shown at Cannes, in May 1997, Camara faced an onslaught from African journalists. At home, in Guinea, he was cursed by a local imam after his appearance in a television debate on homosexuality. "I wasn't surprised," he says. "homosexuality is a dead-end in the African tradition, a taboo. Especially coming from a Muslim upbringing, like I do." - (1998): Dakan, the first West African feature film to deal with homosexuality... Dakan (which translates to destiny) is the story of two men who, by coming out, disappear and become invisible to their families and society, because their society has no language which recognizes their love. Filmed clandestinely in Guinea, Dakan both challenges the idea that there is a universal gay culture and debunks the notion that homosexuality is non-existent or foreign to African societies. In director Mohamed Camara's words: I made this film to pay tribute to those who express their love in whatever way they feel it, despite society's efforts to repress it. (1997): "This fascinating film. . . . deals with homosexual love in contemporary Guinea. It allows us to see the dangers in supposing there can be a universal gay narrative and it is also a charming narrative.".

(1998): As for the legal status, the majority of West and East African nations that have law provisions on homosexuality have forbidden it, with some notable exceptions. In Guinea (Conakry), for example, where the law text outlawing homosexuality is not available, its illegality is known to the gay society. One source told Queer afrol; "Gay Guineans often told me that one could go to jail if ever caught having sex with another man." - (1992): In 1991 a total of 116 consecutive newly registered patients (83% male), average 30 years, were recruited from the only psychiatric clinic of the university hospital Donka of Conakry. After informed consent a standardized questionnaire was administered by the same physician. Demographic characteristic, drug use, and sexual behavior were noted. Also blood was collected and sera tested for HIV1/2 antibodies by EIA; reactive sera were confirmed by W.B. Patient response included 116 heterosexual both male and female with multiple partners and 15 male patients with at least one antecedent of homosexuality...

(2011, ): « La stigmatisation est un processus dynamique de dévaluation qui discrédite significativement un individu aux yeux des autres et à ses propres yeux (Parker). La stigmatisation associée au VIH s'appuie sur des pensées négatives déjà implantées notamment le commerce du sexe, la consommation des drogues, l'homosexualité et la transsexualité et les renforce », a-t-il expliqué.

GUINEA BISSAU - : Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Guinea-Bissau face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female homosexual acts are legal... In December 2008, Guinea-Bissau was one of 66 nations to sign a declaration at the United Nations supporting decriminalization of homosexuality and transgender identity.

: " (2011):  It was the first time that research was presented at a conference about sex between men from Guinea Bissau and about the lives of lesbian women in Ethiopia. The study from Guinea Bissau showed that many MSM (men who have sex with men) engage in sex with men and women as well as in transactional sex, increasing the chances of HIV transmission..
