Interdependence, Unintended Consequences, Systems Adaptation • Undetected and untreated disease driving GC and HIV– don’t ask don’t tell • Not using all the laboratory weapons in our arsenal • The unintended consequences of urine testing and how this may be fueling transmission of GC and also HIV in the MSM community • Haven’t had a spotlight on the sexual transmission of HCV
CDC Recommendations from STD Treatment Guidelines, 2010 Screening tests should be performed at least annually for sexually active MSM: • HIV serology, if HIV negative or not tested in the previous year • syphilis serology • GC/CT screening for: • urethral infection (urine testing) for men who had insertive intercourse • Rectal infection (rectal swab) for men who had receptive anal intercourse • Pharyngeal infection (throat swab) for men who had receptive oral intercourse
CDC Recommendations Sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus infection can occur, especially among HIV-infected MSM. Serologic screening for hepatitis C infection is recommended at initial evaluation of newly diagnosed HIV-infected persons. HIV-infected MSM can also acquire HCV after initial screening; therefore, men with new and unexplained increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) should be tested for acute HCV infection.
Overall Goals of Engagement • Reduce undetected and untreated GC/CT in MSM • Reduce transmission of HIV in MSM • Increase identification of HIV-positive MSM co-infected with HCV
Summit Goals • Increase awareness, urgency and action to implement consistent, appropriate and timely GC/CT detection for MSM and HCV screening for HIV-positive MSM • Expand capacity to build protocols and provide education on this issue
Summit Outcomes • Develop next steps for your organization to implement extra-genital screening for MSM • Build coalitions with partners in your area to implement consistent, appropriate and timely extra-genital GC and HCV screening for MSM
