Abstract
- Objective: To describe the increased incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in a cohort of HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM), followed in a tertiary hospital of the Île-de-France region.<br />Materials and Methods: We performed a monocentric, retrospective, and prospective study. We included symptomatic HIV-infected MSM patients who consulted for their annual consultation.<br />Results: One hundred and eighty patients were seen between 2008-2011 and 215 between 2012-2015. We observed an increased incidence of STIs between the two periods (14 and 29.3%, respectively). These STIs includes: syphilis, hepatitis C, urethritis, and proctitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea.<br />Conclusion: A better management of symptomatic and asymptomatic STIs is needed for HIV-infected MSM patients.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS.
