[120 years of contact tracing for sexually transmitted infections in Norway].

Bakgrunn: Smittesporing har fått ny aktualitet grunnet covid-19, men har lenge vært viktig i bekjempelsen av seksuelt overførbare infeksjoner. I denne artikkelen vil vi belyse hvordan smittesporingen ved seksuelt overførbare infeksjoner i Norge har endret seg de siste 120 årene.

Materiale Og Metode: Kildegrunnlaget er årsberetninger fra Kristiania Sundhetskommission og Oslo Helseråd, årsrapporter fra Meldingssystem for smittsomme sykdommer ved Folkehelseinstituttet (MSIS), skjema for innkalling av pasienter, et originalt maskinskrevet manuskript av helseinspektør Harald Christian Gjessing (1896-1988) samt personlige meddelelser fra Øivind Jul Nilsen, seniorrådgiver ved Folkehelseinstituttet.

Health characteristics associated with chemsex among men who have sex with men: Results from a cross-sectional clinic survey in Norway.

Background: Chemsex typically involves drugs such as GHB/GBL, crystal meth and mephedrone, and is increasingly common among MSM. The behaviour has been found to be associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and mental health problems. We aimed to assess the extent of chemsex engagement and associations with different aspects of health, among MSM attending a free specialist walk-in clinic for STIs in Oslo, Norway.

Links between chemsex and reduced mental health among Norwegian MSM and other men: results from a cross-sectional clinic survey.

Background: The use of specific drugs to facilitate, enhance or prolong sexual sessions is referred to as 'chemsex'. The popularity of the behavior seems to be growing, but there is a paucity of information on the mental health aspects associated with chemsex and no data on chemsex from Nordic countries. We investigated the link between chemsex and mental health among men who have sex with men (MSM) and other men in Norway.

Chemsex among men - a questionnaire study.

Bakgrunn: Formålet med undersøkelsen var å kartlegge forekomsten av rusmiddelbruk under sex (chemsex) blant et utvalg av mannlige pasienter ved Olafiaklinikken i Oslo, en poliklinikk for seksuelt overførbare infeksjoner. Vi ønsket også å se hvilke variabler innen psykisk helse, seksuelt overførbare infeksjoner og seksualatferd som var assosiert med chemsex for menn som har sex med menn og menn som har sex med kvinner.

Materiale Og Metode: Studien var anonym og spørreskjemabasert blant mannlige pasienter ved poliklinikken i perioden 1.

[Lymphogranuloma venerum as ulcerous proctitis in men who have sex with men].

Lymphogranuloma venerum (LGV), previously lymphogranulma inguinale, is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis serovar L1-L3. The disease is primarily manifested by a small papule or erosion in the genital region, followed by lymphadenitis and development of abscesses. Proctitis and systemic disease may occur subsequently.

[Surgical treatment of basal cell carcinoma].
