About
Objective: To assess the burden and the transmission dynamics of Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) infection in men who have sex with men in Hong Kong.
Design and setting: involving a) a cross-sectional study (completion of an online self-administered survey, followed by self-sampling for testing in the laboratory, and performance of HIV self-test); b) a mathematical modelling study to simulate the transmission dynamics of MG infection and resistant MG infection and compare the impacts of test-and-treat strategies.
Participants: Around 920 men who have sex with men would be recruited
Full description
Cross-sectional study: A total of 920 men who have sex with men aged 18 or above and normally living in Hong Kong would be recruited. Eligible participants would be asked to complete a self-administered online survey, submit self-collected urine specimen and rectal swabs for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Mycoplasma genitalium testing in the laboratory, and submit HIV self-test results.
Mathematical modelling study: A compartmental model would be constructed to simulate the transmission dynamics of MG infection and resistant MG infection, and analyse the impact of different test-and-treat strategies.
