Abstract: Objective To investigate serologic screening for sexually transmitted infections (STI) in men who have sex with men (MSM) and provide evidence for intervention in the population. Methods A questionnaire investigation was conducted in MSM. Serologic specimens were taken to detect antibodies to HIV, syphilis, herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2, hepatitis C virus, and hepatitis E virus, as well as HBsAg. Results A total of 138 MSM were screened. HIV antibody was negative in all of them. TPPA was reactive in 23 (16.7%) men, among which RPR was positive in 10 (7.2%). The antibodies to HSV-2-IgG, hepatitis C virus, and hepatitis E virus, and HBsAg were found in 7.8%, 0, 16.1% and 9.7% of the men, respectively. Conclusions STIs are identified in this group of MSM. It is important to provide preventive intervention for this population.
