Abstract:

Pharyngeal gonorrhoea is important in the transmission dynamics of gonorrhoea, and generation of antimicrobial resistance and the performing of culture remains vital. We reviewed the notes of men who have sex with men (MSM) presenting to our clinic with a positive pharyngeal NAAT for gonorrhoea between January and December 2019. There were 383 cases of NAAT-positive pharyngeal gonorrhoea, and 28 (7%, 95% CI = 5.11–10.36) reported sore throat at presentation. Pharyngeal cultures were taken from 270/383 (70%), and 73/270 (27%) were culture positive with available antimicrobial sensitivities. Ove

Abstract Background Men who have sex with men are disproportionately impacted by HIV in the United States and may benefit most from pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). However, differences may exist between men who only have sex with men (MSM) and men who have sex with both men and women (MSMW). MSMW may experience more barriers to accessing PrEP and may act as a potential bridge population for transmitting HIV to female sex partners. Differences in PrEP awareness and use between MSM and MSMW are unknown. Methods We evaluated all MSM and MSMW presenting to the Rhode Island Sexually Transmitted Di

Analytical methods were used to assess whether S. flexneri had dominated Montréal's MSM cases since 2009 and whether changes had occurred in notifications in MSM and HIV-co-infected MSM. S. flexneri increased by 6·7% per month since 2007 and predominated in MSM since 2009 without changes in HIV co-infection or similar

In response, MSM revolutionised their sexual behaviour by implementing community-driven seroadaptive strategies to stem HIV transmission. The Centers

The HIV/AIDS epidemic among Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM) has become a significant public health concern. Knowledge of alcohol consumption in this population is limited. In this study, 1,155 Chinese MSM were surveyed to assess alcohol use and its correlates. A meta-analysis was also performed to aggregate pooled prevalence of current alcohol use. MSM who were unmarried (aOR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.29–2.71) or unemployed/retired (aOR: 2.77; 95% CI: 1.73–4.45) were more likely to drink alcohol more than once per week. MSM who consumed alcohol more than once per week were more likely to use dr

Abstract:

Background: Men who have sex with men (MSM) experience a high burden of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoea (NG) infections. These remain largely undiagnosed in the context of syndromic treatment. In Kenya, prevalence of rectal CT and NG infection and NG antimicrobial sensitivity are poorly described. Methods: MSM who reported receptive anal intercourse (RAI) were recruited from an ongoing human immunodeficiency virus acquisition and treatment study in coastal Kenya in 2016-2017. Rectal swabs were collected at two time points 6 months apart to estimate prevalence of CT/NG using

Abstract:

Although men who have sex with men (MSM) have the highest human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence in Guatemala, prevention efforts have been focused on other vulnerable populations. Respondent-driven sampling was used to recruit 444 MSM in Guatemala City to explore factors related to HIV testing among MSM. About 56% of participants reported HIV testing in the past 12 months, which was associated with a public MSM status (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.08; 95% CI 1.02–4.26), participating in peer HIV prevention intervention (AOR 3.71; 95% CI 1.86–7.43), having at least one casual male partne

Abstract:

Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionally affected by the HIV epidemic globally. In Chile, HIV prevalence among MSM is estimated at 20%, and condomless anal intercourse is the predominant mode of HIV transmission. This cross-sectional study aimed to estimate a broad array of characteristics in a sample of Chilean MSM including condomless anal intercourse (CLAI), as well as to explore possible associations between these characteristics and CLAI. MSM were recruited through respondent-driven sampling between June and October of 2016. A final sample size of 246 MSM was analyzed using C

Abstract:

Despite continued advances in HIV prevention and treatment, gay and bisexual men and other men who have sex with men (MSM) remain the population most impacted by HIV/AIDS in the US and many other Western countries. Additionally, MSM are disproportionately affected by various psychological problems, including depression, distress, trauma and substance use. These challenges frequently co-occur, and are associated with higher rates of behaviours related to HIV acquisition and transmission, HIV infection, and, for those living with HIV/AIDS, lower levels of treatment engagement.

Abstract:

In sub-Saharan Africa, men who have sex with men (MSM) are socially, largely hidden and face disproportionate risk for HIV infection. Attention to HIV epidemics among MSM in Uganda and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa has been obscured by repressive governmental policies, criminalisation, stigma and the lack of basic epidemiological data describing these epidemics. In this paper, we aim to explore healthcare access, experiences with HIV prevention services and structural barriers to using healthcare services in order to inform the acceptability of a combination HIV prevention package of service

Abstract:

Most of the dermatological research in men who have sex with men (MSM) has been in the HIV-infected subpopulation. A retrospective case-control study was performed of dermatologic diagnoses in HIV-negative MSM (n = 329) compared with male heterosexual controls (n = 600). HIV-negative MSM had a higher frequency of folliculitis (19/329 vs 12/600; P = 0.004), cutaneous herpes simplex infection (19/329 vs 14/600; P = 0.009), non-melanoma skin cancer (16/329 vs 10/600; P = 0.006) and syphilis (8/329 vs 2/600; P = 0.005) than the control group.
