Abstract:
Risk factors for cytomegalovirus (CMV) acquisition in men having sex with men remain unclear. Seroprevalence, incidence, risk factors and shedding of CMV were analyzed among participants enrolled in the HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis IPERGAY-ANRS trial. Among the 417 participants tested, 382 were seropositive at baseline (prevalence of 91.6%; 95%CI[88.5-94.1]) and 10/35 seroconverted during the study (incidence of 17.1 per 100 person-years; 95%CI[8.2-31.3]). A high number of sexual partners was independently associated with CMV seroprevalence. Shedding among CMV-seroconverters was reported for 6/9 and 2/9 at the oral and anal levels, respectively. Our data supports transmission of CMV during sexual contacts.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
