A report back on Garry Kuchel’s presentation ‘Syphilis in Gay/MSM in WA - Epidemiology & Emerging Trends’
Garry was a friendly, passionate and entertaining presenter who set out to stir the pot and drive home the worrying message that men who have sex with men (MSM) may not be taking STIs seriously anymore. He emphasised the alarming trend of an increase in condomless anal sex, as well as a blasé attitude amongst some members of the MSM community towards STIs, which are now being widely considered “easily treated” and therefore nothing to worry about.
