Human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11 cause 90% of condyloma acuminata (CA). Timely vaccination reduces CA-related disease burdens, especially among sexually inexperienced college students, a critical catch-up group for vaccination. Few studies investigate sexually inexperienced college students' views on CA and HPV vaccination, despite research on general student HPV awareness. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Guangdong in May 2017, and recruited college students who self-identified as having no prior sexual relations. Participants completed a WeChat-based online questionnaire to assess their knowledge of HPV, CA, and acceptance of HPV vaccination for CA. A total of 2037 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed. Knowledge of CA (26.3%) and HPV (18.9%) was low among college students who self-reported no sexual experience, as was the HPV vaccination rate (2.6%). However, their acceptance of the HPV vaccine for CA was relatively high (54.7%). Respondents were more likely to have received the HPV vaccine for CA if they had heard of CA (OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.05-1.85), had actively learned about CA (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.10-2.38), considered the vaccine safe (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.03-3.65), and believed the vaccine effective in preventing CA (OR = 5.08, 95% CI: 2.05-12.59). Sexually inexperienced college students demonstrated insufficient knowledge of CA and HPV vaccines. Higher awareness of the safety and efficacy of the HPV vaccine, as well as knowledge about CA, were positive associated with the willingness to receive the HPV vaccine.
Condyloma acuminata (CA) is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection caused by low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types, such as HPV 6 and HPV 11. The HPV vaccine, which includes the L1 protein for HPV types 6 and 11, effectively prevents CA. In China, the primary vaccination strategy targets the prevention of cervical cancer caused by high-risk HPV, and HPV vaccination is not routinely recommended for men. Most men face a lower risk of high-risk HPV-related cancers; however, sexually active adolescent males are at a notable risk of CA due to low-risk HPV infection. Additionally, CA significantly facilitates the spread of HIV, underscoring the need for vigilance. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Guangzhou in March 2017, recruited 350 men who had engaged in sexual activity, comprising 161 young men who have sex with women (YMSW) and 189 young men who have sex with men (YMSM). Participants completed an online survey to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to HPV vaccination. Among the participants, 133 (38.0
Abstract Background Condyloma acuminata (CA) is a common, and recurrent sexually transmitted disease (STD) that greatly contributes to direct health care costs and has a substantial psychosocial impact. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination (containing L1 protein for HPV types 6 and 11) effectively controls CA. Objectives We investigated attitudes toward the HPV vaccine for CA and willingness to undergo vaccination among STD clinic attendees in China. Methods Attendees at STD clinics at two selected hospitals in Guangdong and Jiangsu Provinces from May to September 2017 were requested to complete a self-administered questionnaire for this cross-sectional study. Results The participants’ median age was 28 years (IQR: 24.0–34.0), and the sex ratio was balanced; 63.5% were from Guangdong, 36.5% were from Jiangsu, and 44.5% had a history of CA. The vaccine acceptance rate was high among the participants (85.8%,235/274) to whom the HPV vaccine for CA was available, especially among those who had heard of CA (89.0%, AOR = 3.14, 95% CI: 1.29–7.63, p = 0.0114). 95 (34.7%) of 274 participants had a positive attitude toward the HPV vaccine for CA. STD clinic attendees who had heard of the connection between HPV and CA (AOR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.31-5.00, p = 0.0060), had heard of the HPV vaccines or cervical cancer vaccines (AOR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.02–3.54, p = 0.0444) and had ever proactively discussed CA or the vaccine with others (AOR = 1.95, 95% CI:1.00-3.79, p = 0.0488) had better attitudes toward the HPV vaccine for CA. Over half of the participants (52.5%) expected the price of the HPV vaccine for CA to be under $90. Conclusion The acceptance of the HPV vaccine for CA was high among STD clinic attendees in China, and the participants’ self-perceived knowledge of CA and HPV was associated with better attitudes toward the HPV vaccine for CA. Education to improve knowledge is vital for reducing vaccine hesitancy.

IntroductionSyphilitic balanitis of Follmann (SBF) is a rare condition of primary syphilis which is characterized by any kind of balanitis with or without chancre on the penis combined with the presence of swollen inguinal lymph nodes confirmed by the finding of Treponema pallidum in the lesions or by the positive serological syphilitic testing. Timely identification of the SBF is very important in properly treating the disease stopping the spread of syphilis.Case presentationA 42year-old heterosexual male patient came to our clinic and complained of a painless, hard erythema nodule with a whitish scale in his coronal sulcus of the penis for about a week. The dermatologic examination revealed an infiltrative, hard erythematous lesion surrounding the coronal sulcus of the patient’s penis, with mild erosion and a small amount of exudation. There was a whitish pseudomembrane-like covering on the surface of the erythematous lesion in the coronal sulcus, which is mimicked as candidal balanitis. The result of the fungus microscopic examination was negative, while the laboratory findings showed positive results in serologic syphilitic testing. The patient was diagnosed with primary syphilis and intramuscularly treated with a dose of benzylpenicillin of 2.4 million units. The patient’s skin lesions disappeared completely 60 days after penicillin treatment.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first SBF case reported in China. Syphilitic balanitis of Follmann may have variable clinical appearances. We emphasize that when balanitis with risky sexual activities or with sexually transmitted diseases, the diagnosis of SBF should be kept in mind.

Objective To explore the practical effect of case-oriented situational teaching mode in the teaching of Dermatovenereology.Methods A case-oriented situational teaching mode consisting of clinical cases presentation, STD transmission simulation game, skin lesions pictures display, and theoretical explanation was adopted for four classes of 2018 clinical medicine undergraduates ofMedical School of Nantong University, which were taught by the teaching and research department of Dermatovenereology of the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University in the "Sexually Transmitted Diseases" chapter of the 2021 fall Dermatovenereology teaching course. Pre-and post-class questionnaires were collected from the medical students involved in the course before and after the class using the Questionnaire Star software and analysed by statistical methods.Results A total of 103 clinical medicine undergraduates participated in the classroom teaching, of which 99 students actively filled out the pre-class questionnaires, and all the undergraduates who participated in this teaching filled out the post-class questionnaires(103 copies). The filling rate was 3.89% higher than pre-class. The post-class interestingness of medical students in the "Sexually Transmitted Diseases" course was significantly higher than pre-class(χ~2=20.03, P=0.000 2). The results of the after-class survey indicated that the medical students′ interestingness in each teaching link from high to low was: clinical case presentation(39.81%), STD transmission simulation game(31.07%), skin lesions pictures display(22.33%) and theoretical explanation(6.08%). 70.87% of the medical students were very satisfied with the situational teaching mode, and 73.79% of the medical students believed that the teaching effect of the situational teaching mode was quite good. 56.31% of the students commented that the situational teaching mode had deepened their professional knowledge memory, and 43.69% of the medical students thought that it had improved their awareness of safe sex.Conclusion The application of case-oriented situational teaching mode in the course of Dermatovenereology can improve students′ interestingness in the course and active thinking ability, and promote the teaching quality and teaching satisfaction.
The dissemination of the fact that the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can protect females as well as males is greatly beneficial for the control of condyloma acuminata (CA). We aimed to investigate the acceptance of the HPV vaccine for CA among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. A cross-sectional online survey in the adult MSM population from 31 regions in China was carried out via WeChat in May 2017. Information on demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors, history of HIV and HPV infection, awareness of CA and HPV/CA vaccines, acceptance of CA vaccination, and behavioral intentions for vaccination were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. In total, 902 questionnaires were analyzed; the prevalence of CA was 13.3% (120/902), the HIV positivity rate was 15.1% (136/902), and the coinfection rate of HIV and CA was 3.9% (35/902). In the MSM population, the knowledge of CA and HPV/CA vaccines was poor, but the acceptance rate of the CA vaccine was high (85.1%, 768/902). Data indicated that MSM who had a history of anal intercourse (OR = 1.9), had heard of CA (OR = 2.9), knew the treatments for CA (OR = 2.0), had heard of HPV vaccines/cervical cancer vaccines (OR = 1.9), and received education about CA (OR = 1.9) were associated with the intention to use CA vaccines. With current moderate levels of CA and HPV/CA vaccine awareness, more emphasis should be placed on improving education and other behavioral interventions for high-risk populations such as MSM in China.
Prevalence of co-infecting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among patients newly diagnosed with anogenital warts is under-reported. Our objective is to determine the prevalence of six common STIs, Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), genital herpes (herpes simplex virus type 2 [HSV-2]), HIV, and syphilis for patients visiting a sexual health clinic in Guangzhou, China. Demographics, sexual health, and medical histories were collected at patient intake. Patients diagnosed with anogenital warts (N = 200) were invited to participate. We collected urine samples, and urethral, cervical, and rectal swabs to test for CT, NG, and MG, and blood samples for serological detection of HSV-2, syphilis, and HIV. Overall 49 (24.5%) had a co-infection (22.2% of men and 27.7% of women). All six STIs were observed among men: CT (6.8%), NG (3.4%), MG (5.1%), HIV (4.3%), HSV-2 (4.3%), and syphilis (1.7%). Women had fewer STIs, but at higher rates: CT (13.3%), MG (6.0%), and HSV-2 (8.4%). Individual men had up to two co-infections, while women had no more than one co-infection. Chlamydia was the most common STI. Patients aged 18–25 years (35.4%) had the highest prevalence. Although opportunistic screening is often applied for high-risk groups, expansion to patients with anogenital warts in all health-care settings would improve detection of problematic asymptomatic co-infections, thereby increasing China’s capacity to contribute toward global surveillance systems.

BackgroundA high rectal and oropharyngeal sexually transmitted infection (STI) burden has been reported among men who have sex with men (MSM) in many regions, but little data exists on rectal and oropharyngeal STIs among MSM in China. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of gonorrhea and chlamydia at different anatomic sites among MSM in Guangzhou, China.MethodsWe recruited a cross-sectional sample of MSM in one Chinese city and collected detailed information about socio-demographic characteristics and sexual behaviors. Men had urine, rectal, and pharyngeal swab samples tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to evaluate factors associated with gonorrhea and chlamydia. Among men without any STI symptoms, we also examined the prevalence of gonorrhea and chlamydia by anatomical site.ResultsWe enrolled 463 men between January 2015 and March 2017. A total of 58/463 (12.5%) of men had gonorrhea and 84/463 (18.1%) had chlamydia. MSM with gonorrhea were more likely to have been recruited from the STI clinic (OR 3.41, 95% CI 1.94-5.99), living with HIV (OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.18-4.92), diagnosed had STI co-infection (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.39-4.69). MSM with chlamydia were more likely to be students (OR 1.8, 95% CI 0.99-3.39). Most gonorrhea (34/58, 59%) and chlamydia (64/84, 76%) infections were not associated with STI symptoms.ConclusionAsymptomatic gonorrhea and chlamydia infection were common in this sample of Chinese MSM. Further research is necessary to determine optimal STI screening programs.

Background. The epidemiology of HPV in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Guangzhou, China, had not been reported previously. Methods. HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected MSM were recruited from a Guangzhou-based MSM clinic in 2013. Sociodemographic characteristics and sexual behaviors were collected. An anal cytological sample was taken for HPV testing. Results. We recruited 79 HIV-infected and 85 HIV-uninfected MSM. The median age was 26 years in both groups. The positivities of anal HPV of any type (81.0% versus 48.2%), any high risk type (50.6% versus 27.1%), any low risk type (55.7% versus 31.8%), and any 9-valent vaccine type (74.7% versus 36.5%) were all significantly higher among HIV-infected compared to that among HIV-negative MSM (p for all < 0.05). The great majority of HPV-infected MSM were infected with 9-valent vaccine types (59 out of 64 HIV-infected and 31 out of 41 HIV-uninfected). Anal bacterial infections were associated with higher anal HPV positivity and greater number of anal HPV types. Conclusion. Sexually active MSM in Guangzhou, especially those infected with HIV, had high and multiple HPV detections. The majority of these cases were potentially preventable by HPV vaccine. Regular anal exams and early HPV vaccination are warranted in this population.

Introduction High prevalence of anorectal Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoea (NG) have been reported among men who have sex with men (MSM) in many settings. Regular rectal CT and NG screening have been recommended in the United States and other countries, but little data exists on rectal and oropharyngeal CT and NG among Chinese MSM. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CT and NG in different anatomic sites among Chinese MSM. Methods Participants were enrolled in a free sexually transmitted diseases (STD) screening program if they self-reported MSM status and had never previously received rectal or oral STD screening. Exclusion criteria included taking antibiotics in the past month. Sociodemographic information, sexual history, and medical history data were collected before taking any samples. Samples were obtained from the rectum, oropharynx, and urethra according to sexual exposure sites. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) were used to detect CT and NG. Results 380 MSM were enrolled between January 2015 and December 2016. The mean age of participants was 29.79±9.10 years, and 18.2% (69/380) were married. Anorectal CT was detected in 18.6% (44/237) of samples and anorectal NG in 10.1% (24/237). Urethral CT was detected in 12.3% (27/219) of samples, and urethral NG in 7.8% (17/219) of samples as well. Of 255 oropharyngeal samples, CT was detected in only 2.0% (5/255) and NG in 5.1% (13/255). Two participants (1.5%,2/132) were infected with CT and 1 (0.8%, 1/132) with NG at both rectal and urethral sites, three participants (1.4%,3/208) were infected with CT and 8 (3.9%, 8/208) with NG at both rectal and oropharyngeal anatomic sites. None participants were infected at three anatomic sites. Conclusion Our findings show that the prevalence of chlamydial and gonococcal infections are high among Chinese MSM, efforts to control CT and NG infection among this key population is of significant public health importance.
