“…In response to the growing impact of M. genitalium infection, various international guidelines have been developed to assist healthcare professionals in effectively diagnosing and managing this STI [ 22 23 24 ]. Among these guidelines are the Korean STIs guidelines, which play a crucial role in the Korean healthcare system, providing evidence-based recommendations tailored to the local epidemiology and clinical practices.…”

The Korean Association of Urogenital Tract Infection and Inflammation and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency updated the Korean sexually transmitted infections (STIs) guidelines to respond to the changing epidemiologic trends, evolving scientific evidence, and advances in laboratory diagnostics and research. The main recommendations in the Mycoplasma genitalium infection parts of the Korean STIs guidelines 2023 revision are as follows: 1) For initial treatment: azithromycin 500 mg orally in a single dose, then 250 mg once daily for 4 days. 2) In case of treatment failure or recurrence, a macrolide susceptibility/resistance test is required, when susceptibility/resistance test is not feasible, doxycycline or minocycline 100 mg orally twice daily for 7 days, followed by azithromycin 1 g orally on the first day, then azithromycin 500 mg orally once daily for 3 days and then a test-of-cure should be considered 3 weeks after completion of therapy. 3) In case of macrolide sensitivity, doxycycline or minocycline 100 mg orally twice daily for 7 days, followed by azithromycin 1 g orally initial dose, then azithromycin 500 mg orally once daily for 3 days. 4) In case of macrolide resistance, doxycycline or minocycline 100 mg orally twice daily for 7 days, followed by moxifloxacin 400 mg orally once daily for 7 days. In the Korean STIs guideline 2023, macrolide resistance-guided antimicrobial therapy was emphasized due to the increased prevalence of macrolide resistance worldwide. Therefore, in case of treatment failure or recurrence, a macrolide susceptibility/resistance test is required.

“…Polydrug chemsex can facilitate sexual arousal, excitement and experimentation (Kurtz, 2005). Richardson et al (2023) state that MSM with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are more likely to use these substances simultaneously than MSM without HIV. Risktaking can be promoted and facilitated with dating apps such as Grindr, which might result in condomless sex and sharing injecting drug paraphernalia among injecting users, thus potentiating the risk of HIV/hepatitis C transmission (e.g., Maxwell et al, 2019).…”

ObjectivesChemsex is a term used to describe sex acts using psychoactive substances to enhance the sexual experience/arousal and predominates among men who have sex with men (MSM). Chemsex drugs predominantly include γ‐hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and analogues, methamphetamine, mephedrone and erectile dysfunction agents (e.g., Sildenafil). Mindfulness‐based cognitive therapy (MBCT) combines cognitive therapy and mindfulness and has been shown to help support both sexual functioning and methamphetamine use. However, limited clinical trials have evaluated the use of cognitive mindfulness for chemsex in MSM. The present study assessed the effectiveness of an online mindfulness‐based cognitive intervention (MBCI) among 29 MSM aged 18–30 years engaged in chemsex.Design and SettingA mixed methods approach consisted of a randomised waitlist‐controlled trial and a content analysis reviewing participants' feedback on MBCI. The design of the intervention was based on a behavioural taxonomy mapped to selected behaviour change techniques (BCTs) to support the reliability of MBCI in its delivery.Main Outcome MeasuresParticipants completed assessments measuring levels of chemsex, mindfulness, sexual self‐efficacy and well‐being, taken at Weeks 0, 8 and 12 (follow‐up).ResultsParticipants reported lower levels of chemsex and higher levels of cognitive mindfulness, sexual self‐efficacy and well‐being postintervention and at the 12‐week follow‐up. The content analysis feedback responses yielded favourable outcomes, suggesting that participants developed a sense of self‐compassion, confidence and positive identity.ConclusionsThe MBCI effectively reduced chemsex; however, this study warrants replication with a larger, more diverse group of participants.
