Cytomegalovirus Infections in Homosexual Men

摘要: Levels of cytomegalovirus antibody (IgG and IgM) were measured urine viral cultures done in 237 homosexual men over a mean period 14.1 months. The initial prevalence IgG was 86.9%. By the 9th month follow-up, 71% serosusceptible had become infected with cytomegalovirus. During study cytomegaloviruria noted 32% seropositive men. Cytomegalovirus IgM intermittently present serum 95% IgG-seropositive men, suggesting that frequent reactivation latent infection or reexposure to exogenous virus occurred. Of seven sexual practices investigated, only passive anal-genital intercourse correlated acquisition (p = 0.008).
