Introduction: Gastrointestinal infections (GII) can cause serious ill health and morbidity. Although primarily transmitted through faecal contamination of food or water, transmission through sexual activity is well described, especially among men who have sex with men (MSM).
Methods: We investigated the prevalence of GIIs among a convenience sample of MSM who were consecutively diagnosed with rectal (CT) at 12 UK genitourinary medicine clinics during 10 weeks in 2012.
