“…This can increase risky sexual behaviors such as having multiple sexual partners, engaging in unprotected sexual relations, consuming drugs and alcohol before sex, and using dating apps, among other situations that warrant further study in Medellín. [29][30][31][32][33] The prevalence of HIV was higher in MSM without health insurance affiliation, aligning with a previous study in Colombia that found an infection prevalence of 25% in unaffiliated individuals, 17% for individuals under the subsidized regime, and 9.8% in the contributory regime. Understanding that unaffiliated and subsidized regime individuals correspond to groups without formal employment that involve health insurance contributions, the previously described confluence indicates a higher probability of infection in groups with socioeconomic disadvantages.…”

Introduction In Colombia, HIV and gestational syphilis are notifiable events; however, they are poorly investigated infections in men who have sex with men (MSM). Objective To determine the prevalence of HIV, Treponema pallidum , and their co-infection in MSM treated at a Health Services Provider Institution (HSPI) specialized in infectious diseases from Medellín. Methods Cross-sectional study with 3454 MSM. Prevalence was determined with its 95% confidence interval; associated factors were identified using Fisher’s Exact test, Pearson’s Chi-square, and trend Chi-square. Multivariate adjustment was performed using logistic regression. Analyses were performed using SPSS 29.0. Results The prevalence of HIV was 5.7%, T. pallidum 0.7%, and co-infection 0.6%. The prevalence of HIV was higher in MSM aged between 24–40 years (7.5%), with technical or university studies (10.0%), without health insurance affiliation (12.4%), and those who have had a sexual partner with HIV (36.2%). T. pallidum was higher in MSM without health insurance affiliation (3.4%), who had sexual relations with people diagnosed with an STI (5.9%), and a sexual partner with HIV (12.1%). Co-infection was higher in MSM without health insurance affiliation (2.7%), and those who had a partner with HIV (11.2%). Conclusion Compared with the general Colombian population, MSM have a higher risk of HIV, but are similar to T. pallidum . The identification of the main associated factors in each infection demonstrates the need to prioritize subgroups of MSM that show greater vulnerability to these events. This research demonstrates the urgency of implementing health education strategies in MSM who have a sexual partner with HIV or other STIs. Large gaps were also evident in the magnitude of the three events according to the health insurance affiliation regime, which demonstrates problems of social and health injustice, especially with MSM without health insurance affiliation.

“…In addition, young people express little satisfaction with the sex education provided in schools, which for them is reduced to the prevention of early pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, leaving aside other important issues that are part of the integrity of a healthy sexuality (Leiva & Medina, 2022). Therefore, previous analyses emphasize the need to include in sex education programs topics related to sexual identity, expression and orientation, as well as consent to sexual relations at appropriate ages, free from social pressure and violence, taking into account the self-efficacy, reliability, effectiveness and refusal of condom use (Aguirre & Restrepo, 2022; Plaza-Vidal et al, 2021; Sánchez-Mendoza et al, 2020).…”

Attitudes toward condom use are among the best predictors of condom use. However, it is not entirely clear how these attitudes are shaped. This study aimed to assess the role of sexism in condom use attitudes. For this purpose, a total of 581 Colombian participants answered the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Ambivalent Toward Men Inventory, and Multidimensional Condom Attitudes Scale, including several sociodemographic and condom use questions. Non-representative sampling was virtually performed. The results show that hostile sexism is only a good predictor of negative attitudes toward condom use in men. Programs promoting sexual health should include elements that lessen this form of sexism among men.
