Acceptability and Feasibility of Longitudinal Sampling for Sexually Transmitted Enteric Infections in Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men (GBMSM): Prospective Cohort Pilot Study Conducted in 2022 in South East England

This study has provided evidence that longitudinal rectal swab sampling and data collection for research purposes are feasible and acceptable among GBMSM attending SHS. This provides an innovative way to address important knowledge gaps about STEI transmission, which will help inform public health measures for infection control. Tangible insights from this pilot can also inform the design of similar studies in other settings.
