“…In places as diverse as Cincinnati, Denver, Toronto, San Diego, San Francisco, New York, London, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Oslo and elsewhere, it was clear that a substantial majority of the early syphilis cases diagnosed among men in many primary genitourinary medicine (GUM) and STD clinics were attributable to same-sex practices. 2, 7–9, 11–13, 16, 21 For example, at a large GUM clinic in London, 84.5% of early syphilis cases diagnosed in 1971 were among MSM. 21 Throughout the decade, there was a growing body of evidence suggesting that gonorrhoea and syphilis were common among MSM in multiple countries.…”
