OBJECTIVES: Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) disproportionately affects men who have sex with men (MSM). We determined the cost-effectiveness of different testing strategies for MG in MSM, taking a healthcare provider perspective. METHODS: We used inputs from a dynamic transmission model of MG among MSM living in Australia in a decision tree model to evaluate the impact of four testing scenarios on MG incidence: (1) no one tested; (2) symptomatic MSM; (3) symptomatic and high-risk asymptomatic MSM; (4) all MSM...

INTRODUCTION: Anogenital warts (AGWs) are among the most common STDs. Many therapy options are available but are not codified. Systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) are helpful to elaborate recommendations on the management of AGWs. The objective of our study was to assess the quality and consistency of SRs for the local management of AGWs using three international tools. METHODS: Seven electronic databases were searched from inception to 10 January 2022 for this SR...

We describe a rare case of severe disseminated monkeypox (MPox) virus infection complicated by peritonitis in a 44-year-old man living with well-controlled HIV. The patient was successfully treated with tecovirimat without requiring surgery. MPox should be considered in the differential diagnosis of non-bacterial peritonitis in patients at risk of infection.

INTRODUCTION: We investigated the prevalence, incidence and factors associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among young African women seeking HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). METHODS: HPTN 082 was a prospective, open-label PrEP study enrolling HIV-negative sexually active women aged 16-25 years in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa, and Harare, Zimbabwe. Endocervical swabs from enrolment, months 6 and 12 were tested for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) by nucleic acid amplification, and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) by a rapid test...

Perihepatitis (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome) is a rare complication of sexually transmitted infections, mostly seen in women. Only 12 male cases have been reported to date, of which Chlamydia trachomatis was confirmed in 2. We report a case of chlamydial perihepatitis in a male patient, occurring 1 month after Mpox and associated with the unusual LGV ST23 strain. Our case suggests that rectal Mpox lesions may facilitate chlamydial dissemination.

REVIEW

BACKGROUND: Continued high incidence of HIV and other STIs, paired with rising antibiotic resistance to a number of existing treatments, warrants the development of new pharmaceutical approaches for STI prevention. Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) offer an innovative approach for expanding HIV/STI prevention. The majority of MPT product candidates currently in development include HIV prevention, while only half include compounds active against non-HIV STIs. METHODS: This narrative review focuses on compounds in preclinical development (in vitro and in vivo) through phase 3 clinical trials with activity against one or more of the following infections: HIV, HSV-1, HSV-2 , Chlamydia trachomatis , Neisseria gonorrhoeae , Treponema pallidum , and Trichomonas vaginalis...

OBJECTIVES: Engagement in guideline-recommended sexually transmitted infection (STI) care is fundamental to ending the STI epidemic in the USA. However, the US 2021-2025 STI National Strategic Plan and STI surveillance reports do not include a framework to measure quality STI care delivery. This study developed and applied an STI Care Continuum that can be used across settings to improve STI care quality, assess adherence to guideline-recommended care and standardise the measurement of progress towards National Strategic goals...

OBJECTIVES: We examined sexual behaviour, sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV testing and testing need, and identified associated factors, among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the UK after COVID-19 restrictions ended, and compared these with 'pre-pandemic' estimates. METHODS: We analysed survey data from GBMSM (N=1039) recruited via social media and Grindr in November-December 2021. We then compared Grindr-recruited 2021 participants (N=437) with those from an equivalent survey fielded in March-May 2017 (N=1902)...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate trends in testing and notifications of chlamydia and gonorrhoea during the COVID-19 pandemic in Queensland, Australia. METHODS: Statewide disease notification and testing data between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2021 were modelled using interrupted time series. A segmented regression model estimated the pre-pandemic trend and observed effect of the COVID-19 pandemic response on weekly chlamydia notifications, monthly gonorrhoea notifications and monthly testing figures...

OBJECTIVES: To summarise the prevalence of Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) and antibiotic-resistant MG infection among HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and Global Index Medicus up to 30 September 2022. We included studies reporting the prevalence of MG and/or antibiotic-resistant MG infection among PrEP users. Two reviewers independently searched for studies and extracted data. A systematic review with random-effects meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively summarise the results of included studies...

We describe the novel use of oral chloramphenicol for treatment-resistant Mycoplasma genitalium (M. genitalium ) infection in a 20-year-old heterosexual cisgender male presenting with recurrent symptomatic non-gonococcal urethritis. M. genitalium urethritis is an increasingly common clinical conundrum in sexual health clinics and in cases of second-line treatment failure (such as moxifloxacin), UK and international guidelines struggle to make recommendations for third-line treatments. As shown in our case, the evidence base for third-line treatments is lacking, with poor success rates, and may be poorly tolerated...

We present an apparent second episode of mpox (monkeypox) genital ulcerative disease in a non-immunosuppressed MSM (man who has sex with men) patient who had completely recovered from a primary mpox infection 4 months previously. The patient had also received a complete two-dose course of smallpox vaccination between the two presentations. This case highlights the importance of continuing to include mpox in the differential diagnoses for individuals presenting with genital or mucosal ulceration, regardless of assumed immunity derived from prior infection or vaccination...

OBJECTIVES: Epidemiological treatment of persons who are sexual contacts to partners with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) often results in treatment of uninfected persons, which may increase the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections. We sought to identify the predictors of NG and/or CT infections to develop a risk score that could be used to limit epidemiological treatment to persons most likely to have these infections. METHODS: We included visits to the Public Health - Seattle & King County Sexual Health Clinic by asymptomatic cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM) aged ≥18 who presented as a sexual contact to partner(s) with CT or NG infection between 2011 and 2019...

INTRODUCTION: A key part of the response to the mpox (monkeypox) epidemic has been the vaccination campaign targeted at gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM), including people living with HIV (PLWH). METHODS: We undertook a single-site, retrospective analysis of individuals who received a single dose of modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA-BN) prior to the onset of mpox symptoms. Demographics, clinical characteristics and patient management were analysed...
