Prevalence of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Infections in Multiple Anatomical Sites in HIV-infected Men Who Have Sex With Men at an HIV Clinic in Omaha, Nebraska
Hypothesis: Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at higher risk for sexually transmitted
diseases. Currently, free testing for sexually transmitted diseases is only being performed
in urine samples. Investigators hypothesize that the rates of both gonorrhea and chlamydia
will be higher when testing includes more than one anatomical site (rectum and oropharynx).
The aim of the study is to estimate the rates of asymptomatic Chlamydia and/or Gonorrhea in
the oropharynx, rectum and urethra (urine) of HIV infected men who have sex with men at the
specialty care center of the University of Nebraska Medical Center and compare to the rates
in Douglas County, using nucleic acid amplification tests.
