Because of the form of sexual contact and the number of such contacts among homosexual men, physicians should be watchful for sexually transmitted infections in the homosexual community. Hepatitis B, anorectal gonorrhea, shigellosis, amebiasis, and giardiasis are now known to be among these infections. For treatment to be effective and epidemics avoided, physicians should question affected male patients about their sexual habits and advise abstinence from sexual contact until treatment is finished and cultures or smears are negative.
由于同性恋男性之间性接触的形式以及此类接触的数量，医生应警惕同性恋群体中的性传播感染。目前已知乙型肝炎、肛门淋病、志贺氏菌病、阿米巴病和贾第虫病都属于这些感染。为使治疗有效并避免疫情爆发，医生应询问受影响的男性患者的性行为习惯，并建议在治疗结束且培养或涂片结果为阴性之前避免性接触。
