ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), a type of bacterial infection that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Researchers want to find out how common MG infections are among men living with HIV in Hong Kong and whether these infections are resistant to certain antibiotics, which are used to treat them. The study will involve about 750 HIV-infected men who visit a specialized clinic, and it will also look for any other sexually transmitted infections that might be present at the same time.

To participate in the trial, men must be 18 years or older, HIV-infected, and able to communicate in English or Chinese. They should also be willing to provide consent to take part in the study. Participants can expect to undergo tests to check for MG and other infections, and their experiences will help improve our understanding of these health issues in a community that may be at higher risk. It's important to know that this study is currently recruiting participants and aims to contribute valuable information about managing sexually transmitted infections in HIV-infected individuals.
