| Popis: | Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infections (STI) are prevalent among men who have sex with men (MSM). Goal: To estimate the prevalence of HIV and STIs in this group. Study: A total of 694 MSM were tested for HIV hepatitis B (HBV) hepatitis C (HCV) human T-cell lymphotropic (HTLV-I/II) viruses and Treponema pallidum infection. HIV HBV and T pallidum were detected in 13.8% 37.7% and 16.9% of subjects respectively. Prevalences of 1.9% and 0.3% were detected for HCV and HTLV-I/II. A prior history of STI was the most predictor for HIV HBV and T pallidum. Use of illegal drugs blood transfusion history and multiple sexual partners were associated with HCV. The 2 most common coinfections were HBV/T pallidum and HIV/ HBV. Infection with HIV HBV and T pallidum was elevated among MSM. Routine testing education vaccine-based prevention and control programs need to be implemented in this high-risk population. (authors) |
