Prevalence and co-occurrence of sexually transmitted infections among heterosexual couples in southern Uganda: a population-based study
Partners of individuals with an STI are more likely to have a curable STI, which may be the same or may be a different pathogen; broad screening of partners could be essential to curbing transmission and preventing reinfection. Comprehensive couple-based approaches, including partner notification, treatment and counselling strategies, are critical for reducing STI disease burden.
