OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of @entity2953 ( @entity2953 ) and mode of presentation in @entity1 originating from Bangladesh and resident in the United Kingdom in comparison with non-Bangladeshi @entity1 attending an inner London genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. METHODS: A retrospective, cross sectional study with comparator group was carried out at an open access GUM clinic in east London. 104 consecutive newly attending Bangladeshi @entity1 were compared with 199 consecutive newly attending non-Bangladeshi @entity1 and 115 consecutive newly attending Bangladeshi @entity1 were compared with 218 consecutive newly attending non-Bangladeshi @entity1 . Any diagnosed @entity2953 , sexual history characteristics, reasons for presentation, and referral patterns were noted. RESULTS: Bangladeshi @entity1 (28.8% compared with 7.5%; p<0.0001) and @entity1 (42.7% compared with 12.8%; p<0.0001) were more likely to be referred by their general practitioners or other medical services. Bangladeshi @entity1 were more likely to present with @entity250 (12.5% compared with 2.5%; p=0.001). The prevalence of @entity2953 was broadly similar across the study groups; however, syphilis was significantly more common in the Bangladeshi @entity1 (10.9% compared with 4%; p=0.04) and @entity6369 ( @entity6369 ) in the control @entity1 (35% compared with 20.2%; p=0.02). @entity6981 was an infrequent diagnosis in the Bangladeshi @entity1 (3.5% compared with 22.4%; p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: STI prevalence in Bangladeshis attending GUM services is similar to other populations although patterns of presentation and referral do show variation. Bangladeshi @entity1 are more likely to access GUM clinics for psychosexual services. The presence of @entity2953 in Bangladeshis particularly those imported from Bangladesh provides an opportunity for @entity645 transmission between the United Kingdom and Bangladesh.
