To better understand rectal STI screening practices for Black gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (BGBMSM), rectal chlamydia/gonorrhea STI testing (using lab nucleic acid amplification testing), HIV testing (using OraQuick ADVANCE Rapid HIV 1/2), and behavioral survey measures were administered to 331 HIV negative or status unknown BGBMSM in Atlanta, Georgia. Although 15% of BGBMSM lab tested positive for a rectal STI, the majority of these (94%) were asymptomatic. Though all participants reported their status as HIV negative/unknown, 31/331 (9.4%) tested positive on HIV rapid tests. Neither condomless anal intercourse nor the number of male sex partners were associated with rectal STI or HIV diagnosis, although rectal STI diagnosis was positively related to testing HIV positive. Findings suggest that substantial numbers of BGBMSM have asymptomatic STIs but are not tested— an outcome that is likely a strong driver of onward HIV acquisition. Therefore, we must address the asymptomatic STI epidemic among GBMSM in order to reduce HIV transmission, as well as temper STI transmission, amongst this key population.
