International Journal of STD & AIDS, 09/30/08
Ferrand RA et al. - Sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates among men having sex with men continue to increase. A prospective study of HIV-positive gay men was conducted in a London outpatient clinic over a three-month period. Data were available for 90 men. A significant proportion of men were unaware of recent outbreaks of hepatitis C and lymphogranuloma venereum and of HIV postexposure prophylaxis. The authors therefore recommend that sexual history-taking, STI screens and health promotion should become a routine feature of HIV outpatient consultations in this group.
