“…Unprotected sex between HIV-seropositive men presents potential risks to their own health. These risks and factors that influence risk behavior with seroconcordant partners are also considered [62]. This special issue includes a report that addresses the ability of the peer-based intervention tested in SUMIT to motivate changes in sexual practices and the disclosure of HIV status to new sex partners [47].…”

“…Erectile dysfunction and the use of drugs to treat erectile dysfunction are associated with sexual risk and HIV/STI acquisition among MSM [88][89][90][91]. Sexual compulsivity and other measures of sexual dysfunction have also been linked to sexual risk behavior among MSM [34,87,[92][93][94][95][96]. MSM living with HIV experience especially high rates of sexual dysfunction [87,91,[97][98][99][100], and sexual dysfunction in this population has been associated with poorer adherence to HIV treatment [101] and HIV/STI transmission risk behavior [87,91].…”

Sexual Health, HIV, and Sexually Transmitted Infections among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States

The sexual health of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States is not getting better despite considerable social, political and human rights advances. Instead of improving, HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain disproportionately high among MSM and have been increasing for almost two decades. The disproportionate and worsening burden of HIV and other STIs among MSM requires an urgent re-assessment of what we have been doing as a nation to reduce these infections, how we have been doing it, and the scale of our efforts. A sexual health approach has the potential to improve our understanding of MSM's sexual behavior and relationships, reduce HIV and STI incidence, and improve the health and well-being of MSM.

HIV and STI behavioural surveillance among men who have sex with men in Europe

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper describes behavioural surveillance for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Europe, focusing on the methods and indicators used. In August 2008, questionnaires were sent to European Union Member States and European Free Trade Association countries seeking information on behavioural surveillance activities among eight population groups including MSM. Thirty-one countries were invited to take part in the survey and 27 returned a questionnaire on MSM. Of these 27 countries, 14 reported that there was a system of behavioural surveillance among MSM in their country while another four countries had conducted behavioural surveys of some kind in this subpopulation. In the absence of a sampling frame, all European countries used convenience samples for behavioural surveillance among MSM. Most European countries used the Internet for recruiting and surveying MSM for behavioural surveillance reflecting increasing use of the Internet by MSM for meeting sexual partners. While there was a general consensus about the main behavioural indicators (unprotected anal intercourse, condom use, number of partners, HIV testing), there was considerable diversity between countries in the specific indicators used. We suggest that European countries reach an agreement on a core set of indicators. In addition we recommend that the process of harmonising HIV and STI behavioural surveillance among MSM in Europe continues.
