Increased STI diagnoses in gay men with HIV are mainly due to more testing

A study presented at the recent 20th European AIDS Conference (EACS 2025) has found that the apparent rise in sexually transmitted infections (STIs), at least in gay and bisexual men with HIV in France, are due to more frequent testing rather than more infections.

Dr Sophie Novelli of the Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health (CESP) of the French national scientific health research agency INSERM presented data from 2016 to 2023 taken from the PRIMO cohort.

PRIMO is a long-standing cohort, founded in 1996, of people diagnosed with HIV during very early infection. It includes men and women of all sexualities and ethnicities, but about three-quarters of them are gay and bisexual men, and this study only included them. It collects data on HIV status, STIs, co-infections and sexual behaviour annually. Cohort members may be tested for STIs less or more often than annually, as STI tests are performed at the discretion of the physician, as suggested by STI symptoms and by the annual behavioural questionnaire. In practice, as the data below shows, screening tests for STIs, especially for chlamydia or gonorrhoea, were the exception rather than the rule in 2016.

Increased STI diagnoses in gay men with HIV are mainly due to more testing.

And the problem is going to solved by “more education and community outreach”

And more government spending, of course.

I have been hearing this BS for decades and the truth is that the Gay community is back to it's old Castro Street antics and levels of debauchery that created the AIDs epidemic in the first place.

AIDs is easy to understand and hard to get.

At this point everyone knows the risks and how to avoid the disease. They just don't care to try.

The information presented indicates that gay men are basically hidden infection vectors. Like mosquitos and malaria....
The authorities didn’t think enough to search out any answers to the huge amount of infectious disease residing in those who practice promiscuous sex(including female prostitutes and “johns”).....so they pretended being highly promiscuous was safe. Maybe some gay men (and prostitutes and johns) will realize that their lives are basically swirling down the drain unless they change their habits.
Doubt it. Addictions are hard to break

[Getready]

Maybe not.

The way to cure cancer is to not test for it.

Exactly!

So, they don’t call them diseases anymore, huh? Now they’re only infections...

Yep, and there's an agenda in there to be sure.

"Infection" implies that there was no volition involved in contracting the pathogen. "Infections just happen."

"Disease" is the outworking of an internal action and is more apparent, like a Scarlet Letter on the forehead. A lot more implicative of responsibility.

So, you can be infected with incurable HIV, but you don't have AIDS until the pathogen reaches a selective, convenient, arbitrary level in the body. These levels are always in flux based on the politics of the day.

We've all heard it preached ad nauseam. It is just stupid and I don't care. I now see the movie "Philadelphia" as a comedy.

Not only is AIDS here to stay thanks to the sodomites refusal to heed the warnings, they have single-handedly brought syphilis back from the grave of effective eradication. They have also made Monkey Pox (formerly known as MPox, (formerly known as Monkey Pox)) a sexually transmitted disease for the first time, also here to stay.

Waiting for Act III for the next new disease concern promoted by the Sodomites. Could it be drug-resistant Tuberculosis?

It’s true. In my visits to various after life’s, I’ve seen everything from Elvis helping Jesus tune his guitar to Harambe holding George Floyd and Michael Brown in his strong but loving arms.

Homosexuals with AIDS have been largely responsible for the rise of drug resistant microbes since the 1980s.

Unethical and irresponsible agenda driven doctors violated all drug treatment protocols to give AIDS patients with non functioning immune systems massive doses of antibiotics to keep chronic infections in check

AIDS patients became human petri dishes for the evolution of drug resistant super microbes that continue to plague us to this day.

Increasingly drug resistant strains of super Tuberculosis is one such evolving case of this abuse of anti biotics

New HIV diagnoses among males in 2025

Male-to-male sexual contact: This remains the leading transmission category for new HIV cases, accounting for approximately 66% of all diagnoses in 2025.

“DoxyPEP” is the newest misguided effort to ward off the avalanche of new STI’s (chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea only.) A doxycycline dose taken within the first 48 hours after possible sexual exposure to one of these pathgens show a 70% reduction in diseases. What they don’t yet know is that the pathogens get a head start with their infection before they are exposed to the antibiotic, giving them a workout in their quest to develop resistant strains.

The queer population putting their trust in these strategies also develop a false sense of safety, as if they have a bullet-proof vest to protect them, and stupidly assume protection against viral infections as well, such as hepatitis or meningitis, diseases which also ravage the queer populations. It’s like closing a window but opening a garage door.

To use their reasoning, “testing causes STI’s.”
