Sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus in human immunodeficiency virus-negative men who have sex with men: a series of case reports

Thijs J W van de Laar et al. Sex Transm Dis. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) has recently emerged as sexual transmitted infection among (human immunodeficiency virus) HIV-positive but not HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM). We present 4 case reports showing that HIV-infection is not an absolute prerequisite for sexual HCV transmission in MSM. HIV-negative MSM with ulcerative sexual transmitted infection, those who engage in rough sexual practices or report a HCV-positive sexual partner, should be regularly screened for HCV.
