“…137,158,[165][166][167][168][169] Although HCV has emerged as a STI that is largely confined to HIV-positive MSM, and gonorrhoea and chlamydia are frequently identified, 166 syphilis appears to be the most commonly reported STI coinfection among those with HIV. 159,170 Nonetheless, STI testing rates for nongenital gonorrhoea, chlamydia 171,172 and syphilis 173 in MSM with HIV infection remain below recommended levels.…”

Abstract.Men who have sex with men (MSM) in Australia and overseas are disproportionately affected by sexually transmissible infections (STIs), including HIV. Many STIs are asymptomatic, so regular testing and management of asymptomatic MSM remains an important component of effective control. We reviewed articles from January 2009-May 2013 to inform the 2014 update of the 2010 Australian testing guidelines for asymptomatic MSM. Key changes include: a recommendation for pharyngeal chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis) testing, use of nucleic acid amplification tests alone for gonorrhoea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) testing (without gonococcal culture), more frequent (up to four times a year) gonorrhoea and chlamydia testing in sexually active HIV-positive MSM, time required since last void for chlamydia first-void urine collection specified at 20 min, urethral meatal swab as an alternative to first-void urine for urethral chlamydia testing, and the use of electronic reminders to increase STI and HIV retesting rates among MSM.

“…The Belgian authors suggest implementing behavioural surveillance and qualitative research to improve effective prevention campaigns [20]. Similar conditions are described in the paper from Spain which shows high HIV prevalence rates among syphilis patients, highlighting the importance of the availability of information on HIV and STI co-infections, as this is usually not covered by the national surveillance system for HIV and STI [22].…”

“…Increasing trends in HIV among MSM are reported by Sasse and Defraye for Belgium [20], Semaille et al for France [21], and by Diaz et al for Spain [22]. Although this could be due to increased HIV testing, it is shown in Belgium that the number of tests has remained stable over time [20].…”

“…The number and type of STI diagnosed in this study is in agreement with other reports where STI such as syphilis, genital warts, and gonorrhoea are also commonly diagnosed. 8,14 Management of sexual partners is crucial to limit the spreading of STI and the impact on public health. Patients with either a known or newly diagnosed HIV infection should be important STI clinic targets.…”

RESUMO - High Incidence of Sexually Transmitted Infections in Patients with HIV-Infection ABSTRACT -Introduction: Sexual transmitted infections (STI) are an important health problem and increase the risk for acquisition and transmission of HIV. We aimed to identify STIs diagnosed in patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and in newly diagnosed ones. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical charts of individuals attending a specialized STI Clinic from 2009 to 2013. Results: A total of 680 patients were included, accounting for 8% of the patients observed during the study period. The majority (638, 92%) were male and men who have sex with men (MSM) (489, 72%). Almost half (304, 45%) were migrants. Overall, 270 (40%) patients were diagnosed with at least one STI, syphilis was the most common (123, 18%), followed by Chlamydia trachomatis (46, 7%), Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection (42, 6%) and genital warts (32, 5%
