AB OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of genital tract infections and
behavior associated with these infections in HIV-infected (HIV+) women.
METHODS: Women recruited from STD, methadone maintenance, and HIV
clinics were interviewed and tested for 6 genital tract infections.
RESULTS: HIV+ and HIV-uninfected (HIV-) women were similar in age
(median = 35y), income, & race. About 38% of HIV+ and 31% of HIV- women
reported ever having syphilis and/or gonorrhea. Prevalence of genital
tract infections in 324 HIV+ and 258 HIV- women is summarized below.
TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME During the previous 3 months, 39% of
HIV+ and 19% of HIV- women used antibiotics, and 77% of HIV+, compared
with 59% of HIV-, women had no sex or always used condoms (both p <
0.001). Also, 91% of both HIV+ and HIV- sexually active women had only 1
sex partner during last 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: The low prevalence of
genital tract infections was similar in HIV+ and HIV- women and may be
explained by the median age and high prevalence of protective behaviors,
especially in HIV+ women. Screening for these infections should be
similar in HIV+ & HIV- women.
