Travel-associated STI amongst HIV and non-HIV infected travellers.

Background: The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) is increasing in Western countries whilst travel plays a major role in STI dissemination worldwide. However, there is no study distinguishing HIV-positive and HIV-negative travellers.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the epidemiological, clinical and biological characteristics of the patients diagnosed with a travel-related STI between 2008 and 2016.
