“…45,63,64 HIV-positive and HIV-negative men differ on a number of psychosocial, behavioural and sociodemographic variables. [65][66][67] Engagement in HIV risk-related behaviour differs according to HIV status on a fundamental level: for the HIV-positive person risks are focused on potentially infecting another person (i.e. relatively little impact to self), and for the HIV-negative person risks are focused on the potential for them to become infected (i.e.…”

“…5 Research on drug-resistant HIV has consistently shown that multiply resistant HIV can be transmitted sexually 6 and rates of sexual transmission (as measured by the prevalence of drug-resistant virus among newly infected, treatment-naïve MSM) have increased as enrollment in HIV treatment has expanded. 6,7 Estimates of the prevalence of drug-resistant HIV range from 5% to 17% among newly diagnosed and/or treatment-naïve individuals. [8][9][10][11][12][13] Higher rates have been found among individuals with comorbid use of illicit drugs (particularly methamphetamine), notably a group with high rates of unprotected anal intercourse and high numbers of 1 National Development and Research Institutes, Inc., New York, New York.…”

To examine antiretroviral (ARV) drug resistance, we recruited a community sample (n = 347) of sexually active HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in New York City, each of whom completed a structured interview and donated a blood sample for HIV genotyping. Participants reported high levels of sexual activity, with 94.6% reporting at least one sexual contact in the past month, and an average of 3.13 partners during this time. Anal intercourse was common, with 70.7% reporting at least one act of insertive anal intercourse (21% of whom reported ejaculating inside their partner without a condom) and 62.1% reporting at least one act of receptive anal intercourse during this time (22.6% of whom received ejaculate without a condom). Seventeen percent reported having sex with a woman in the past year. Although 17.4% of participants reported having ever injected drugs, no association was found between injection and antiretroviral resistance. Average HIV diagnosis was 12.1 years prior to the interview, and 92.1% had taken ARV medication. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were widely reported, with 78% having been diagnosed with an STI since being diagnosed with HIV. A genotype was obtained for 188 (54.7%) of the samples and 44.7% revealed mutations conferring resistance to at least one ARV. Resistance to at least one ARV within a given class of medication was most common for nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (30.3%) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (27.7%) and least common for protease inhibitors (18.1%). The combination of high prevalence of antiretroviral resistance and risky sexual practices makes transmission between sex partners a likely mode of acquisition.

“…The review of 53 cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys of HIV-positive MSM and MSM of mixed HIV status published after 2000 indicates that HIV-positive MSM have adopted risk reduction strategies, but roughly two in five HIV-positive MSM continue to engage in unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), which represents a risk for continued HIV and STI (sexually transmitted infection) transmission (27). Risk practices of MSM in our study did not correspond with their relatively satisfactory knowledge of HIV prevention.…”

SUMMARYThe HIV infection remains a major public health issue in the world and especially in those countries where there exists unprotected sexual intercourse between people of the same sex. It is namely the category of men having sex with men (MSM) that still represents a group at high risk of being infected with HIV or transmitting the virus. The aim of our study was to present HIV 2nd generation surveillance data on MSM in Slovakia in the period between the years 2008 and 2009. Time-location sampling (TLS) was used to recruit participants and oral fluid samples together with completed anonymous questionnaires were collected simultaneously. The oral fluids were tested with use of the Genscreen HIV 1/2 version 2, (Bio-Rad) and Western Blot (Genlabs) diagnostic kits. The data analysis was performed using Stata version 8. Saliva testing revealed HIV prevalence of 6.1% (21/349) among MSM in Slovakia. 75% of HIV-positive cases were undiagnosed. The high-risk behaviour of MSM in respect to the number of their sexual partners as well as drug and condom usage did not correspond with their relatively high knowledge about HIV/AIDS. People's attitude towards MSM was found to be the worst in the religious context. Though our results reflect a relative good knowledge of MSM about HIV/AIDS infection, new HIV-positive cases and high-risk behaviour still appear, suggesting the need for more effective HIV prevention among members of this high-risk group in Slovakia.
