AB The results of a study of sexually transmitted disease (STD) incidence
and related risk factors for STDs among uninfected women at high risk of
contracting STD infection in Bangkok are reported. Comprising the
control arm of a randomized controlled trial of a vaginal contraceptive
sponge and STD incidence, 163 women aged 18 or older were recruited from
4 massage parlours and followed for evidence of new infections over a
6-week period or until cervical infection occurred. Gynaecological
examinations were performed and endocervical specimens were obtained at
weekly intervals, at which time women returned coital logs recording
their number of sexual partners. There were 76.5 new STD infections per
100 woman-months, including 31.7 with gonorrhoea, 43.1 with chlamydia,
1.8 of trichomoniasis and 3.5 of candidiasis. None of the risk factors
examined were good predictors of STD infection in this population, which
may be related to the restricted admission criteria in the study.
