DiscussionThe rising epidemiology of NG and CT infections in MSM is challenging and measuring the impact of interventions remains difficult. In this modelling study, we demonstrate that increasing either the testing frequency or the number of frequently tested patients (such as PrEP-users) would have a limited impact on NG and CT incidence in the total French MSM population.

AbstractObjectives The impact of the systematic screening of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) in men having sex with men (MSM) on these pathogens’ epidemiology remains unclear. We conducted a modelling study to analyse this impact in French MSM. Methods We modelled NG and CT transmission using a site-specific deterministic compartmental model. We calibrated NG and CT prevalence at baseline using results from MSM enrolled in the Dat’AIDS cohort.
