The New York City Health Department just issued a health alert for "gay men and men who have sex with men."

We're not experts, but "men who have sex with men" probably would have covered all bases.

Regardless, if you're a man having any type of sex with a man -- gay, bisexual, whatever -- you run the risk of contracting meningitis, according to Health officials.

The Health Department says there have been four cases of the disease in several boroughs, including one fatality, in the past four weeks.
