Due to the number of sexual encounters and variety of practices, men who have homosexual experiences have increased incidence and prevalence rates of many diseases. Diseases that are covered here include hepatitis A and B, syphilis, gonorrhea, condylomata accuminata, herpes simplex, AIDS (acquired immune-deficiency syndrome) and several enteric diseases, namely amebiasis, giardiasis, shigellosis and salmonellosis. An overview of each disease is included along with diagnostic testing and treatment regimens. This report concludes with a system of risk assignment and recommendations for frequency of sexually transmitted disease screening.
