9 RECOMMENDATIONS Screening Treatment: emerging gonorrhea resistance Importance of sexual health care for MSM Younger MSM at HIV and STI risk Especially if not discuss sexual orientation with partners, friends, or health care providers Routine screening important for early Dx & Dz transmission interruption Some MSM expect disapproval of lifestyles may avoid seeking healthcare New HIV dx associated w/ syphilis, rectal GC/CT CDC. MMWR 2003; 52:81 6. Scott KC, et al. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2008;48: Kim AA, et al. Sex Transm Dis 2003;30:

10 Non-judgemental history Important for clinicians to be culturally competent Routinize asking behavioral screening questions without assumptions or judgments For example, asking, Do you have sex with men, women or both? Want patients to feel comfortable disclosing previously unreported behavior Routinely ask sexually active MSM about STD Sx urethral discharge dysuria genital and perianal ulcers regional lymphadenopathy skin rash anorectal symptoms c/w proctitis discharge and pain on defecation or during anal intercourse 10

11 Recommended HIV/STI screening (At least) annual serology HIV serology if HIV- syphilis serology confirmatory test if reactive; Recommended HIV/STI screening: NAATs Urethral N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis in men who have insertive intercourse; urine NAAT is preferred; Rectal N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis in men who have receptive anal intercourse NAAT of rectal swab is preferred Pharyngeal N. gonorrhoeae in men who have receptive oral intercourse NAAT of oral swab is preferred pharyngeal C. trachomatis asymptomatic screening not recommended 11

14 Consider HCV testing HIV+ MSM Initial HIV evaluation Evaluation for new, unexplained ALT Screen when high-risk sexual behaviors or concomitant ulcerative STIs Consider. HSV-2 evaluation with type-specific serologic tests if infection status is unknown; HSV-2 serostatus knowledge may be helpful in identifying persons with previously undiagnosed genital tract infection Anal cytologic abnormalities screening anal cancer incidence in HIV+ MSM evidence is limited concerning natural hx of anal intraepithelial neoplasias, screening methods reliability, safety and response to Tx, and programmatic support needed for screening activity 14

15 Consider. More frequent STI screening (i.e., at 3 6- month intervals) MSM with multiple or anonymous partners MSM who have sex with illicit drug use or whose sex partners use illicit drugs methamphetamine Vaccination Hepatitis A and B HPV for MSM thru age 26 years 15

16 High intensity behavioral counseling (HIBC) to prevent STIs/HIV Recommended for all adolescents and young adults at risk for HIV/STIs ACA allows twice yearly (modifier code 33) Client-centered STD/HIV prevention counseling involves tailoring risk reduction discussion of to patient's individual situation based on CDC s Project RESPECT min motivational interviewing sessions Who will pay for MSM preventive services in ACA?

21 SEXUAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR YOUNG WOMEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH WOMEN (WSW) Epidemiology CDC recommendations Risk and Protective Factors Related to STIs Among WSW WSW are diverse group with variations in sexual identity, sexual behaviors, sexual practices, and risk behaviors. Sexual identity is not necessarily = sexual behaviors and sexual partners gender Many y (up to 87%) who report same-sex behavior have partners Cannot assume that who self-identify as lesbian never had partners Koh AS, et al. Sex Transm Dis 2005; 32: Tao G. Am J Public Health 2008;98: Goodenow C, et al. Am J Public Health 2008; 98:

22 Sexual identity and behavioral risks among adolescents and young adults Massachusetts Youth Risk Behavior Survey from 1995 to 2001 Among who reported only sexual partners 82% identified as heterosexual 14% identified as lesbian or bisexual 4% identified as not sure Goodenow C, et al. Am J Public Health 2008; 98: Sexual identity and behavioral risks among adolescents and young adults who identified as NOT heterosexual and reported same-sex partners more likely than heterosexual participants to report multiple lifetime and recent sexual partners illegal drug use prior pregnancy prior STD H/O coerced into sexual contact Goodenow C, et al. Am J Public Health 2008; 98:

23 BV among WSW BV common among with partners can share strain-specific specific genital bacteria with their partners Specific bacterial species associated with BV Tx failure Gorgos LM, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2011;53(S3):S C trachomatis positivity rate among WSW and WSMW was 7% versus 5% among WSM Singh D, et al. Am J Public Health 2011;101:

24 HPV among WSW HPV infections common among WSW Sexual HPV transmission likely occurs between Marrazzo JM, et al. Am J Public Health 2001; 91: STI care for WSW Report of same-sex behavior should not deter providers from STI screening chlamydia and syphilis as recommended Routine cervical CA screening should be offered to all as per guidelines, regardless of sexual preference or sexual practices All should be offered HPV vaccine as per ACIP guidelines 24

25 BV among WSW Routine screening is not recommended Tx of partners of with BV not recommended Encouraging awareness of signs and symptoms of BV Encouraging healthy sexual practices may be helpful e.g., cleaning shared sex toys between uses BV Rx 25
