Reported cases of hepatitis C (HCV) have been increasing among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in many cities worldwide, including Stockholm, Sweden. This study was performed in order to see whether there is also an increase of HCV among HIV-negative MSM. A total number of 1008 MSM attending a clinic for sexually transmitted infections (STI) were screened for HCV. A confirmed positive HCV antibody screening test was found in five cases. Two of these also tested positive for HCV-RNA. We conclude that there is limited spread of HCV among MSM in Stockholm, and the prevalence of HCV among HIV-negative MSM is similar to that found in the general population.
据报道，在包括瑞典斯德哥尔摩在内的全球许多城市，与男性发生性关系的艾滋病毒呈阳性的男性（男同性恋者）中丙型肝炎（HCV）病例一直在增加。进行这项研究是为了观察艾滋病毒呈阴性的男同性恋者中丙型肝炎病例是否也在增加。对一家性传播感染（STI）诊所的1008名男同性恋者进行了丙型肝炎筛查。在5例中发现丙型肝炎抗体筛查试验确诊为阳性。其中2例丙型肝炎病毒核糖核酸（HCV-RNA）检测也呈阳性。我们得出结论，丙型肝炎在斯德哥尔摩的男同性恋者中传播有限，艾滋病毒呈阴性的男同性恋者中丙型肝炎的患病率与普通人群相似。
