title: [Sexually transmitted infections in Barcelona beyond 2000].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Information about sexually transmitted infections (STI) in Barcelona is scarce. Sexual risk behaviors and some STI have recently increased.
  
  
  METHODS
  Descriptive study of STI diagnosed at the STI Unit of Barcelona between 2001 and 2002.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Some STI were more frequent among homosexual men. HIV coinfection in patients with syphilis was seen in 10/18 homosexual men and 1/10 heterosexuals (p = 0.04).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a resurgence of some STI in Barcelona. New preventive interventions are needed, especially addressed to homosexual men.
