Popis: Shigellosis is one of the driving factors for extrahepatic manifestations of sexually transmitted Hepatitis-C infection, which was previously thought to affect only men who have sex with men (MSM) who were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive. Highly infectious diseases like shigellosis which has been termed as the potent factor for creating “perfect storm” of disease transmission with the conjunction of specific sexual activities between men, and HIV status is something which needs attention. Strategies such as health communication and social marketing could be utilized to enhance MSM awareness of shigellosis, and these efforts should focus on giving answers to the sorts of queries respondents pose regarding shigellosis.
