→HIV Infection and a New Look at Gay Bowel Syndrome
In otherwise healthy persons, Giardia lamblia is most frequently implicated. When outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness occur among social or sexual networks of MSM, clinicians should consider sexual transmission as a mode of spread and provide counseling accordingly. Among persons with HIV infection, enteritis can be caused by pathogens that may not be sexually transmitted, including CMV, Mycobacterium avium–intracellulare, Salmonella sp., Campylobacter sp., Shigella sp., Cryptosporidium, Microsporidium, and Isospora.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/std/tg2015/proctitis.htm Proctitis, Proctocolitis, and Enteritis], Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015</ref>}}
