Background Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during pregnancy are associated with adverse birth outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, perinatal death, and congenital infections such as increased mother-to-child HIV transmission. Prevalence of STIs among pregnant women in South Africa remains high, with most women being asymptomatic.
Coinfection rates of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are not widely reported in Zimbabwe and no local guidelines regarding the screening of STIs in people living with HIV exist. Objectives: This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors for STI coinfection in a cohort of.
We evaluated same-day STI treatment at the baseline visit in our ongoing implementation-effectiveness trial of STI diagnostic strategies in pregnancy in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality in South Africa [2]. At 4 PHC clinics, we enrolled pregnant women attending their first antenatal care visit at <27 weeks of gestation
To demonstrate the influence of VDS definition on VDS frequency reported, we analyzed crosssectional data from our ongoing hybrid-effectiveness trial of the impact of diagnostic strategies for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) on adverse birth outcomes among pregnant women in Eastern Cape, South Africa. 13 We evaluated VDS frequency based on different combinations of symptoms reported in 1627 women recruited at their first antenatal care visit (< 27 weeks gestation) from March 2021 to January 2023. As Figure 1A conveys, VDS frequency increases with each symptom added to the definition.
