Correlates of chlamydia and gonorrhea infection among female sex workers: the untold story of Jiangsu, China.

<h4>Objectives</h4>To estimate the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among female sex workers (FSWs) in the Jiangsu Province, China and measure the association of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections with their potential correlates.<h...

Cervical specimens from 849 randomly chosen participants were then tested for CT and NG.<h4>Results</h4>Proportions of young, school-educated, currently married FSWs who were living alone, migrated from other provinces and engaged in unprotected vaginal intercourse in past 3 months (UVI) were relatively high. Prevalence of HIV, syphilis, CT and NG were 0.20%, 4.88%, 14.61% and 5.42% respectively. Younger age, living alone or with persons other than partners/family members, engaging in UVI and having other STIs seemed to be associated with higher risk of CT or NG infection. Being divorced/widowed and working in middle/low-level venues were identified as additional risk factors for NG.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Based on a representative sample, this initial effort to identify the correlates of CT/NG infections among FSWs of Jiangsu revealed that focused interventions targeting high-risk FSWs are urgently required for controlling STI epidemics in Yangzhou and Changzhou where substantial number of STI cases were identified.Weiming TangJicheng PanNing JiangHai-Yang HuTanmay MahapatraYue-Ping YinSanchita MahapatraXiao-Liang WangXiang-Sheng ChenNan LinXun ZhangXi-Ping HuanHai-Tao YangGeng-Feng FuPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 9, Iss 1, p e85985 (2014)
