We evaluated more recent trends in gonorrhea among MSM through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project. Methods. Isolates and case information were collected from 29 US sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. Gonococcal urethritis cases among MSM were compared with those among heterosexual men, and cases among MSM in 1995 to 1999 were compared with earlier MSM cases. Results. Of 34942 cases, the proportion represented by MSM increased from 4.5% in 1992 to 13.2% in 1999 (P<. compared with heterosexuals msm were older more often white and had gonorrhea previously although fewer in the past year. to slightly than those a higher proportion conclusions. account for an increasing of gonococcal urethritis cases std clinics. given recent evidence that may facilitate hiv transmission these trends demand increased attention safe sexual behaviors reducing stds among msm.>
