HIV prevalence is still rapidly increasing among Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM). The Internet also makes it easier for MSM to have casual partners. This study aims to evaluate the trend of Internet-based sex-seeking behavior of MSM and its impact on HIV prevalence, the distribution of HIV subtype strains, and transmitted drug resistance rates. A serial cross-sectional study was conduct...

High-resolution genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis improves the characterization of strains infecting different patient groups and sexual networks. In this study, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and ompA sequence determination were used for an analysis of C. trachomatis strains from 203 men who have sex with men (MSM) from Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United States. The results obtained ...

OBJECTIVE African men who have sex with men often sell sex to men, and MSM who sell sex (MSM-SW) often also have female partners.

The efficacy and safety of methsuximide (MSM) was evaluated in children with intractable epilepsies in a prospective uncontrolled study. MSM was added to the therapeutic regimen of 112 children with intractable epilepsy under inpatient conditions, all of whom were therapeutically refractory to various first-line antiepileptic drugs (AED) or combinations of other AED. Titration of MSM was perfor...

HIV seroadaptive behaviours may have contributed to greater sexually transmitted infection (STI) transmission in HIV-positive men who have sex with men(MSM) and to the global increase in STIs. Using multiple national surveillance data sources and population survey data, we estimated the risk of STIs in HIV-positive MSM and assessed whether transmission in HIV-positive MSM has contributed to rec...

BACKGROUND An increasing incidence of anal cancer among men, especially men who have sex with men (MSM) suggests a need to better understand anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among this group. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among MSM in Shenzhen, China. Blood was collected for HIV serological testing and syphilis serological screening, and anal swabs were collected for ...

The US HIV/AIDS epidemic is concentrated among men who have sex with men (MSM). Black men are disproportionately affected by incarceration and Black MSM experience higher infection rates and worse HIV-related health outcomes compared to non-Black MSM. We compared HIV treatment outcomes for Black MSM to other HIV-infected men from one of the largest cohorts of HIV-infected jail detainees (N = 12...

An estimation of about 650,000 Chinese were living with HIV/AIDS in 2005 (1); MSM (men who have sex with men) have also become high-risk groups in the infection and spread of HIV/AIDS. In recent years, MSM accounted for the proportion of all new HIV-positive individuals jumped from 12.2% in 2007 to 32.5% in 2012 (1). AIDS high-risk groups, particularly MSM cardinality estimation , are an import...
