Using 2015 data from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance among Young MSM, we examined self-reported STI screening and STI diagnosis of chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis among sexually active adolescent MSM by selected characteristics. Analysis of STI diagnosis was limited to participants who reported an STI screening. Differences in STI screening and STI diagnosis and factors associated with screening and diagnosis were examined using bivariate and multivariable binomial regression models. Less than half of adolescent MSM reported having ever been screened for an STI. Among these, more than a quarter reported having ever been diagnosed with chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis. STI screening was associated with visiting a healthcare provider in the past 12\u2009months and having ever been tested for HIV. Having ever had an STI diagnosis was associated with the participant age of 18\u2009years and having sex before 13\u2009years old. Among adolescent MSM, STI screening was suboptimal and STI burden was significant. STI intervention and prevention programs are urgently needed to promote STI awareness, timely screening, and early diagnosis to interrupt transmission among this vulnerable population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462419870223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,16]],"date-time":"2019-12-16T23:50:19Z","timestamp":1576540219000},"page":"53-61","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Sexually transmitted infection screening and diagnosis among adolescent men who have sex with men, three US cities, 2015"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5193-7130","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qian","family":"An","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of HIV\/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyle T","family":"Bernstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of STD Prevention, National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra B","family":"Balaji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of HIV\/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cyprian","family":"Wejnert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of HIV\/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"for the NHBS-YMSM Study Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462419870223","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
