“…15 A third STI clinic reported 902 cases of anogenital condyloma between 2008 and 2014, of which 18.4% were diagnosed in MSM. 19 Another study conducted in a community clinic in Lisbon between 2008 and 2013 found 238 cases (9.8%) of gonorrhea and 158 (6.5%) of chlamydia. 20 Considering the ones who were infected, anorectal infection occurred in 38 (16%) of the ones infected by gonorrhea and 23 (14.6%) of the ones infected by chlamydia.…”

Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at greater risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Data on MSM chlamydia and gonorrhea prevalence estimates and associated risk factors are scarce. To our knowledge, this is the first study to describe the prevalence and the determinants of both chlamydia and gonorrhea infections in MSM in Portugal. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 1832 visits to CheckpointLX, a community-based center for screening blood-borne viruses and other STIs in MSM. Overall prevalence of chlamydia or gonorrhea in our sample was 16.05%, with 14.23% coinfection and 40.73% asymptomatic presentation among those testing positive. Anorectal infection was most common for chlamydia (67.26%), followed by urethral (24.78%) and oral (19.47%) infection. Oral infection was most common for gonorrhea (55.63%), followed by anal (51.25%) and urethral (17.50%) infection. In multivariate analyses, young age ( U = 94684, p = 0.014), being foreign-born (χ2 = 11.724, p = 0.003), reporting STI symptoms (χ2 = 5.316, p = 0.021), inhaled drug use (χ2 = 4.278, p = 0.039) and having a higher number of concurrent (χ2 = 18.769, p < 0.001) or total (χ2 = 5.988, p = 0.050) sexual partners were each associated with higher rates of chlamydia or gonorrhea infection. Young and migrant MSM are a vulnerable population to STIs, as are those who use inhaled drugs and those with a higher number of concurrent or total sexual partners. Although Portugal has no guidelines on chlamydia and gonorrhea screening, our results point toward a need for greater awareness about the importance of high-frequency screening for those at increased risk (i.e., every three to six months).

Abstract. Aim. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the generic drug Wartocid ® (Imiquimod cream 5% for external use) in patients with external anogenital (venereal) warts (AGW). Materials and methods. The single-blind comparative, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial included 50 women aged 18 to 60 with an established clinical diagnosis of AGW in the vulva and perianal region. Patients in group 1 received placebo cream for external use, while patients in group 2 received therapy with Wartoсid in a daily dose of 10 mg cream/cm 2 of skin area. The drug was applied every other day until the complete disappearance of AGW, but in any case, not more than 16 weeks. A follow-up was carried out for 4 more weeks. The study evaluated the dynamics of subjective and objective symptoms, the presence and the frequency of relapses, and the percentage of full treatment of AGW. Main results. Treatment with Wartoсid resulted in a complete cure of AGW in 16% of patients, and a reduction in the focus area of AGW in 36% of patients. Against the background of the placebo no dynamics of the disease were reached. Neither serious adverse events nor clinically significant changes in blood tests, urine or serum biochemical parameters in any of the patients who received treatment with Wartoсid were observed. Conclusion. The generic drug Wartocid has been proved to be effective and safe for AGW treatment and its effectiveness is similar to the original drug Aldara ® (Imiquimod cream 5% for external use). Резюме. Цель. Оценка эффективности и безопасности воспроизведенного препарата Вартоцид ® (Имихимод крем 5% для наружного применения) у пациентов с наружными аногенитальными (венерическими) боро-давками (АГБ). Материалы и методы. Простое слепое сравнительное рандомизированное плацебо-контро-лируемое клиническое исследование включало 50 женщин в возрасте от 18 до 60 лет с установленным кли-ническим диагнозом АГБ в вульве и перианальном регионе. Пациенты в группе 1 получали плацебо-крем для наружного применения, тогда как пациенты в группе 2 получали терапию Вартоцидом в суточной дозе 10 мг крема/см 2 области кожи. Препарат применялся через день до полного исчезновения АГБ, но в любом
