Abstract
Some parasites, such as Trichomonas vaginalis or Sarcoptes scabiei, are sexually transmitted. However, sexual transmission of most intestinal parasites is very rare. The present study reports a case of homosexual man infected with HIV who was found to be a carrier of Strongyloides stercoralis, even though he had never traveled to the tropics. However, he had repeated sexual relations with many partners, some of whom were from endemic areas. Sexual transmission of Strongyloides stercoralis and amoebiasis due to Entamoeba histolytica is rare but has already been found in the population at risk. Therefore, this parasitosis should be sought in HIV patients complaining of digestive disorders.
