Abstract
In 2 cases there was simultaneous or sequential occurrence of amoebiasis, shigellosis and giardiasis in male homosexuals. Enteric pathogens may, under proper conditions, be venereally transmitted. The sexual practices of male homosexuals, most significantly, oral-anal contact, appear to provide the necessary link for transmission. Evidence suggests that this is a growing problem.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
