“…Therefore, affordable diagnostic procedures for both symptomatic as well as asymptomatic LGV infections are urgently needed (Smelov et al 2008). Surveillance of LGV and newly acquired hepatitis C in MSM throughout Europe is recommended in order to press for public health response.…”
The results underline the importance of regular STI screening among HIV-positive persons, and show a particular sexual health problem among MSM. We estimate that the proportion of HIV-positive MSM acquiring an STI in 2008 was 8.8%.
