“…On the other hand, at an international scale, a syphilis outbreak has been reported particularly among MSM population groups (Buchacz et al, 2005;Doherty et al, 2002;Gao et al, 2009;Hopkins et al, 2004;Peterman et al, 2005). In accordance with this, the results of this research show that for both countries, syphilis prevalence in 2003 is higher among MSM, whereas HSV-2 mostly affects FSW population groups.…”

“…Even when the use of antibiotics is evident because of the global decline in syphilis prevalence (Sgaier et al, 2011), there is some evidence showing that in the last decade there has been a reappearing in several countries, specially among high-risk population groups such as MSM (Buchacz et al, 2005;Doherty et al, 2002;Gao et al, 2009;Hopkins et al, 2004;Peterman et al, 2005). In addition, the low effectiveness of contraceptives (including condoms) to prevent infections such as syphilis, on one hand, and the indiscriminate use of antibiotics that increases the risk of resistant chains, on the other, could lead to a more complex situation regarding the eradication of this infection even when there is an effective treatment available nowadays.…”

“…The prevalence in Turkey was similar to developed countries, less than 35/100.000 in a year (3)(4)(5) Approximately 4-25 years after the first infection, neurosyphilis occurs in 6.5% of patients who have non-treated primary syphilis. Balance disorder, burning pain, apathy, paralysis, dementia, and tabes dorsalis are seen in the lower extremity in patients (6,7).…”

With the exploration of penicillin, incidents of syphilis, which swept the Europe during the 16th century, decreased after 1940. Neurogen bladder arising from neurosyphilis was seen frequently before the penicillin period. We aimed to share a patient who has this rarely seen association. A 46-year-old male patient was admitted to a neurology clinic because of convulsion, dementia, and incontinence. No lesion determined in brain at magnetic resonance study. In the cerebrospinal fluid investigation, an increase in the number of leukocytes with lymphocytes and amount of protein was determined. Based on high positive treponema palladium hemagglutination assay (TPHA) test in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood, the presence of suspect sexual intercourse history, and occurrence of eruption on hands and feet that cleared up 10 years ago, a neurosyphilis diagnosis was made, and 6x4 M IU/d units iv penicillin treatment was applied for 21 days. After the completion of the patient's treatment in the neurology clinic, further examination was decided, because it was thought that neurogen bladder arising from neurosyphilis might develop because of the presence of urinary incontinence and pollakiuria complaints. At the beginning, uroflowmetry was worked to be done; however, the patient could not make enough (at least 150 mL) micturation. Thereupon, we decided to do filling cystometry and pressure-flow study. It was seen in the ultrasonography that bladder volume was 500 mL, thickness of the bladder wall was at normal level, prostate volume was 20 cc, and kidneys were bilaterally normal. It was seen that residual urine was approximately 400 cc after micturition. In filling cystometry, it was seen that maximum bladder capacity before the overflow incontinence was 490 mL. It was seen that the first urinary feeling occurred at 350 mL of volume and 26 cm H 2 O of pressure; first urge to void feeling occurred at 460 mL volume and 35 cm pressure. It was seen that sense of bladder started to get damaged; however, the sense was not completely gone yet. It was seen that intra-vesicular pressure increased at 300 mL of volume and was more than 40 cm H 2 O of pressure at end of study. It was decided that the bladder compliance was 12.4 mL/cm H 2 O and that there was a medium-level loss of compliance. It was seen at the pressure-flow study that the patient who was encouraged to micturate for 2 minutes could only micturate by increasing intra-abdominal pressure, and detrusor pressure did not increase. As is, a hyposensitive and acontractile bladder diagnosis was made. It was thought that aseptic intermittent catheterization (AIC) and oral anticholinergic treatment were appropriate for the patient. Neurosyphilis is a rarely seen disease nowadays. Neurogen bladder arising from neurosyphilis is much rare in urology practices. When encountering a patient with this disease, urodynamic assessment should be done in order to have an idea about bladder functions; a choice should be made among bladder neck resection, urinary diversion and AIC.

“…Meta-analyses indicate that the prevalence of HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China is substantial, with an estimated prevalence ranging from 2.5% to 5.3% and increasing [1][2][3][4][5] . Further research suggests that unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) is a major risk factor for HIV infection among MSM and that the prevalence of UAI among MSM is high in China (e.g., the estimated prevalence of UAI was 50% in 2008-2012) 6,7,8,9 .…”

However, most prior research has not explored this association cross-culturally or the potential influence that important covariates may have on the association.Aims: To explore the association between self-reports of viewing SEM depicting various sexual risk behaviors and engagement in sexual risk behaviors after controlling for relevant covariates among MSM in China.Methods: Three hundred and fourteen Chinese MSM participated in a web-based survey. Main Outcome Measures:The main outcome measures were SEM consumption, sexual risk behavior, and measures of covariates.Results: SEM consumption was frequent among MSM in China. Viewing a greater proportion of SEM depicting sexual risk behaviors was associated with a higher number of regular partners with whom MSM reported they had engaged in sexual risk behaviors, but not with number of casual partners, after controlling for covariates. HIV-related knowledge and male sex partner-seeking was associated with the number of regular partners with whom MSM had engaged in sexual risk behaviors. Sexual sensation seeking, HIV-related knowledge, and male sex partner-seeking was associated with the number of casual partners with whom MSM had engaged in sexual risk behaviors. Conclusion:Future research exploring the relationship between SEM use and sexual health risk behaviors should take into consideration theoretically important psychological and behavioral covariates.
