Abstract in brief

  • Rectal douching is commonly used by men who have sex with men (MSM) before anal sex and may increase the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to potential injury to the rectal lining.
  • The systematic review and meta-analysis, which included data from 28 studies with over 20,000 participants, found that rectal douching is associated with significantly higher odds of HIV infection (OR 2.80) and other STIs like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.
  • These findings suggest that rectal douching could raise health risks for MSM, and more research is needed to understand this connection, along with health education to inform men about potential dangers.]
