“…It has been shown that the highest incidences of STDs are in China's wealthiest areas [ 27 ]. C. trachomatis prevalence has been studied in several areas of the world, with the prevalence rate among STD clinics varying from 4.6% in Jordan to 13.1% in Brazil [ 28 , 29 ]. With a much higher syphilis positive rate than C. trachomatis rate in our study, the STD pattern in China is different from others areas [ 30 ].…”

BackgroundPrevious studies suggested a high prevalence of STDs including HIV among female sex workers and men who have sex with men in China, but little was known about the prevalence in male patients attending public STD clinics. The aim of this study was to investigate STD patterns and HIV prevalence among male STD clinic attendees in different areas in China and the associated risk factors. The feasibility of Provider-initiated HIV testing and counseling (PITC) was evaluated as well.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at 46 public STD clinics in 4 provinces in China. Between July 2009 and September 2009, a total of 3243 eligible subjects were invited to participate in an interview with a structured-questionnaire for collecting socio-demographic characteristics and sexual behavioral information. They also were asked to provide venous blood samples for serological determinations of HIV and syphilis infection, and first void urine specimens for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections,ResultsOut of the 3243 eligible patients, 2951(91%) men agreed to take part in the HIV and syphilis testing. The overall prevalence rate of HIV infection was 0.7% while the rates of syphilis, N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis infections were 10.7%, 4.3% and 6.9%, respectively, with the highest syphilis and N. gonorrhoeae rates in Jiangsu Province. Patients from Guangxi province, homosexual/bisexual practices and intravenous drug use were significantly associated with HIV infection in multivariate logistic regression analyses. Provider-initiated HIV testing and counseling (PITC) was well accepted by attendees, with 91% of eligible attendees agreeing to undergo HIV testing and counseling. All HIV positive patients were properly managed accordingly.ConclusionsA modest prevalence of HIV infection and substantial prevalence of other STD infections were found among male patients attending public STD clinics in China. The findings further support the introduction of HIV and syphilis PITC strategy into this important setting.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Rectal CT and NG infections are associated with an increased risk of HIV acquisition in men, possibly due to mucosal inflammation and recruitment of HIV-susceptible lymphocytes to local tissue sites. [8][9][10] Men with urethral CT or NG infection may also have higher seminal plasma HIV viral loads and may therefore be more likely to transmit HIV to a sexual partner during insertive anal intercourse.…”

“…Altogether, there were within this time frame 825 tests performed for gonorrhea, 10 of which were positive (1,2%), but a total of 729 tests performed for Chlamydia yielded 90 positive diagnoses (12%). Some recent reports indicate varying rates of co-infections, but none of the patients in this study suffered from a double infection with both pathogens [7,8].…”

SummaryThe epidemiology of selected venereal diseases in the Czech Republic has been carefully evaluated for many years. This report containing data from the period 1981-2011 from the eastern Bohemia shows a sharp decrease in the incidence of gonorrhea in 1993-1994 and very low incidence thereafter with slightly higher prevalence in males. However, syphilis and genitourinary infection by Chlamydia trachomatis show entirely opposite trends. Also, for the similar number of diagnostic tests performed, chlamydia showed 10 fold higher ratio of positive cases. This underscores the changing epidemiology of STIs and necessity for adapting the reporting algorithms.
