Current levels of gonorrhoea screening in MSM in Belgium may have little effect on prevalence: a modelling study.
uncertainty as to the effectiveness of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) screening in men who have sex with men. It is important to ensure that screening has benefits that outweigh the risks of increased antibiotics ...
Bio-behavioural HIV and STI surveillance among men who have sex with men in Europe: the Sialon II protocols.
a large-scale bio-behavioural survey among MSM in Europe in line with a Second Generation Surveillance System (SGSS) approach. METHODS / DESIGN: Sialon II is a multi-centre biological and behavioural ...

Four sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Belgian general practice: first results (2013-2014) of a nationwide continuing surveillance study.
298 patients, corresponding with an episode-based incidence of 91.9/100 000 (95% CI 81.9 to 102.8) general practice patients, with almost half of it due to chlamydia. The incidence of chlamydia in men ...
