Abstract

ObjectiveTo 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. Materials and methodsWe performed a monocentric, retrospective, and prospective study. We included symptomatic HIV-infected MSM patients who consulted for their annual consultation. ResultsOne 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. ConclusionA better management of symptomatic and asymptomatic STIs is needed for HIV-infected MSM patients.
