The term used in the article is a healthcare term (Gay, Bisexual and Men Who Have Sex with Other Men - GBMSM), it's not a term the writer has made up or that is there because the article is poorly written. It's an actual term in the healthcare industry to avoid healthcare professionals assuming someone's sexual identity just because they happen have had sexual intercourse with another man.
It's used as a 'catch all' term because because otherwise you could be listing numerous sexual identities and still leave some out - someone for example could engage in sexual intercourse with another men as part of a threesome with his girlfriend and not indentify as gay, bi or pan.
