Overview

Objective: To assess the burden and the transmission dynamics of Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) infection in men who have sex with men in Hong Kong.

Design and setting: involving a) a cross-sectional study (completion of an online self-administered survey, followed by self-sampling for testing in the laboratory, and performance of HIV self-test); b) a mathematical modelling study to simulate the transmission dynamics of MG infection and resistant MG infection and compare the impacts of test-and-treat strategies.

Participants: Around 920 men who have sex with men would be recruited

Description

Cross-sectional study: A total of 920 men who have sex with men aged 18 or above and normally living in Hong Kong would be recruited. Eligible participants would be asked to complete a self-administered online survey, submit self-collected urine specimen and rectal swabs for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Mycoplasma genitalium testing in the laboratory, and submit HIV self-test results.

Mathematical modelling study: A compartmental model would be constructed to simulate the transmission dynamics of MG infection and resistant MG infection, and analyse the impact of different test-and-treat strategies.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • men who have sex with men aged 18 or above, normally living in Hong Kong, and could communicate in written and spoken English or Chinese

Exclusion Criteria:

  • cannot provide consent

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
