Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are frequent and represent a major problem of public health in France and worldwide, given their increasing prevalence, especially in the teenagers and the young adults. Their ano-rectal localization concern essentially men who have sex with men (MSM) or bisexual relations. The HIV infection significantly increases the risk of ano-rectal STIs. Syphilis,gonorrheaandchlamydia infection are the three most frequent bacterial infections. The epidemiology of the STIs changed a lot during the last two decades with the increase of gonorrheafrom 1998, the resurgence of primary syphilis from 2000 and the emergence of rectal lymphogranuloma venereum from 2003. The two last ones affect essentially or exclusively MSM or bisexual men. The development of new diagnostic tests using techniques of detection and amplification of specific sequences of nucleic acids is a major step forward of the recent years.
