Sexually transmitted infections and bacterial vaginosis in women of child-bearing age in Antananarivo, Madagascar: prevalence and risk factors from a cross-sectional study
To address the high prevalence of STIs, prevention programs should target women who are more likely to engage in sex in exchange for favors and empower them with negotiation skills on condom use. Given the elevated prevalence of dysbiosis and its association with STIs, it is crucial to prioritize research efforts toward a comprehensive understanding of this relationship.
