abstract="One hundred and forty-one male patients who attended a District General Hospital's department of genitourinary medicine completed a questionnaire including demographic indices, history of sexual abuse/assault, anxiety and depression, and sexual concerns and attitudes. Of these, 52 (36.9%) reported past unwanted sexual experiences (USE). A significantly higher proportion of the USE group consisted of homosexual men than the non-USE majority. The prevalence rate for USE involving other men was 15.6%, which is comparable to previous studies. Hospital Anxiety and Depression scores were significantly greater for patients with a history of USE (t = -2.82, P = 0.006, for anxiety and t = -3.01, P = 0.003 for depression). Patients with a history of USE also scored significantly higher on a measure of sexual concerns. However, there were no significant differences between the USE and non-USE groups on two brief measures of alcohol and drug consumption. Clinicians in sexual health settings need to be sensitive to the fact that a significant proportion of male patients may have an undisclosed history of USE.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
