| Abstract | Background: Men who have sex with men (MSM) are more vulnerable to blood-borne infections and/or sexuallytransmitted
infections (STI). This study was conducted to estimate the prevalences of mono and co-infections of HIV-1 and
other blood-borne/STIs in a sample of MSM in Campinas, Brazil.
Methods: Responding Driven Sampling (RDS) was used for recruitment of MSM. Serum samples collected from 558 MSM
were analyzed for the presence of serological markers for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, HTLV, HPV-16/18, and T. pallidum infections.
Results: The highest prevalences of infection in serum samples were found for HPV-16 and 18 (31.9% and 20.3%,
respectively). Approximately 8% of the study population showed infection with HIV-1, and within that group, 27.5% had
recently become infected with HIV-1. HBV infection and syphilis were detected in 11.4% and 10% of the study population,
respectively, and the rates of HTLV and HCV infection were 1.5% and 1%, respectively. With the exception of HTLV, all other
studied infections were usually found as co-infections rather then mono-infections. The rates of co-infection for HCV, HPV-
18, and HIV-1 were the highest among the studied infections (100%, 83%, and 85%, respectively). Interestingly, HTLV
infection was usually found as a mono-infection in the study group, whereas HCV was found only as a co-infection.
Conclusions: The present findings highlight the need to educate the MSM population concerning their risk for STIs
infections and methods of prevention. Campaigns to encourage vaccination against HBV and HPV could decrease the rates
of these infections in MSM. | pt_BR |
