Incidence of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in a cohort of HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM)

Abstract

STD and HIV infection continue to be acquired even in a city with an overall low bacterial STD prevalence and among educated MSM receiving regular HIV screening and risk-reduction. Urethritis was the most common STD detected, and public health messages aimed at MSM need to emphasize safe insertive as well as receptive sexual practices.
