Abstract Background Yunnan has the highest rates of HIV in the country. Other treatable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are associated with accelerated HIV transmission and poor ART outcomes, but are only diagnosed by syndromic algorithms. Methods We recruited 406 HIV-positive participants for a cross-sectional study (204 ART-naive and 202 ART). Blood samples and first-voided urine samples were collected. Real-time polymerase chain reaction methods were used for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG). Syphilis and HSV-2 tests were also performed. Results Among 406 participants, the overall prevalence of STI was 47.0% and 45.1% in ART-naive individuals and 49.0% in ART individuals, respectively. Testing frequency was 11.6% (11.8% vs 11.4%), 33.2% (29.4% vs 37.1%), 3.2% (3.4% vs 3.0%), 2.0% (3.4% vs 0.5%) and 4.7% (6.4% vs 3.0%) for active syphilis, HSV-2, chlamydia, gonorrhoeae and genitalium. Percentage of multiple infections in both groups was 10.8% (22/204) in ART-naive participants and 9.9% (20/202) in ART participants. Females, age between 18 to 35 years, ever injected drugs, homosexual or bisexual, HIV/HBV coinfection, and not receiving ART were identified as risk factors. Self-reported asymptom was not eliminating of having a laboratory-diagnosed STI. Conclusions STI prevalence was 47.0% (45.1% vs 49.0%), HSV-2, syphilis and MG were the most common STIs in HIV-infected individuals. We found high prevalence (6.4%) of Mycoplasma genitalium in ART-naive individuals. ART can reduce the diversity of STI-HIV coinfection but not the prevalence. HIV-positive individuals tend to neglect or maybe hide their genital tract discomfort, thus we suggest strengthening STI joint screening and treatment services among HIV-infected individuals whether they describe genital tract discomfort or not.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: Venereophobia is fear of getting sexually transmitted disease after first or repeated unprotected sexual activities with unsafe or safe partners. This study aims to study the epidemiological profile, varying clinical presentations and spectrum of psychiatric diagnoses among venereophobia patients Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective and observational study was conducted among 72 consecutive patients of venereophobia. Patients with symptoms of fear of sexually transmitted infections were evaluated with relevant history and genital examination. Additionally psychiatric evaluation was done for associated diagnoses. Patients with symptoms and clinical signs of sexually transmitted infections were excluded from the study. Results: A total of 68 male and 4 females presented with the symptoms. The mean age of presentation was 25.85±5.15 years. Most of them were either servicemen (38.8%) followed by students (23.6%). After a mean time of 11±10.44 days of sexual activity, patients developed symptoms. Common presentations were genital papules (25%), slough (22.2%) and genital itchy sensation (15.3%). A total of 23(33.8%) patients visited to commercial sex workers with mean spells of visiting 3.2±2.67 times. Factors as regular use of condom and knowledge of overall STI was lacking; while self investigation and multiple doctor visit was common. Pearly penile papule 18(25%) was the commonest diagnosis made on clinical examination. A total of 43 (59.7%) cases were diagnosed with psychiatric conditions, most common being anxiety neurosis (58.1%). Conclusions: Venereophobia was commonly found to be associated with psychiatric illnesses. A proper anamnesis, genital and psychiatric evaluation of this common entity may prevent misdiagnosis and associated complications. Keywords: Phobia; sexually transmitted infections; venereal
