Prevalence of genital and extragenital sexually transmitted infections among women of reproductive age with and without HIV in the Southern US: results from the study of treatment and reproductive outcomes
Prevalence of genital, rectal, oral chlamydia (1.8%, 2.8%, and 0.6%) and gonorrhea (3.3%, 1.1%, and 1.3%), and genital trichomoniasis (11.4%) are high among WRA with and without HIV. The adverse impact for women's reproductive health and HIV transmission highlights the importance of extragenital STI testing for women in areas of high prevalence of STIs in the US.
