STD incidence rates (IRs) were calculated and stratified by calendar period. Predictors of STDs were identified using a Poisson regression model with sandwich estimates for standard errors.<h4>Results</h4>Data for 9168 participants were analysed [median age 37.3 (range 18-81) years; 74% male; 30% men who have sex with men (MSM)]. Over 46 736 person-years of follow-up (PYFU), 996 episodes of STDs were observed [crude IR 21.3/1000 HIV medicine412-20https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4682467biostudies-literatureIncidence and factors associated with the risk of sexually transmitted diseases in HIV-infected people seen for care in Italy: data from the Icona Foundation cohort.PMC4682467Ursini TCingolani ACaramello PSegala DAngarano GQuiros Roldan EMinardi CGirardi EMarcotullio SZona SMaggiolo FCarenzi LBelvisi VAndreoni MAbrescia NDi Perri GChiodera AGallo LMadeddu GBaldelli Fvon Schloesser FMastroianni CSuardi CBassetti MAmmassari ALondero AMoroni MManconi PTebano GAcinapura RLazzarin AAntinori ATincati CCozzi-Lepri AViale PPellizzer GCastagna ASighinolfi LFalasca KDi Biagio Ad'Avino AIppolito GSantoro CFanti IMura MMonno LLo Caputo SGuida MCapozzi MBonora SPuzzolante CChirianni AGiacometti AMazzarello GCaputo SMagnani GOrofino GCGianotti NCinque PIardino RParruti GRusconi SGargiulo MSciandra MSasset LGalli MDe Luca AGalli LCassola GMazzotta FLibertone RVerucchi GRizzardini GPuoti MNicastri EPiano PGuaraldi Gd'rminio Monforte ACastelli FCastelli AFrancisci DCommunity-Oriented Study Group of the Icona Foundation Study GroupBorderi MPiscopo RCostantini ACauda RD'Arminio Monforte AVullo VRoldan ECattelan ACeccherini-Silberstein FMarchetti GMazzoccato SViscoli CUrsitti MQuirino TBonfanti PAbeli CLorenzini PGori AAlessandrini AFormenti TMoioli MCapobianchi MPerno CCaramma Id'Arminio Monforte ASalpietro SLapadula GVecchiet JRidolfo ABalotta CCicconi PPiolini RMussini CRossetti BManfrin VLichtner MVanino EfalseIncidence and factors associated with the risk of sexually transmitted diseases in HIV-infected people seen for care in Italy: data from the Icona Foundation cohort.<h4>Objectives</h4>The aims of this study were to identify temporal trends in the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in a cohort of HIV-infected people and to evaluate factors associated with the risk of a new STD diagnosis.<h4>Methods</h4>All HIV-infected patients in the Icona Foundation Study cohort enrolled after 1998 were included in this study.
