Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis Reinfection Rates in Adolescents: Evidence of Continued Need for Intervention

Abstract

N. gonorrhoeae, and 13.0% for C. trachomatis. Unlike N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis, T. vaginalis infections were identified only in females (shown below): Conclusion: The prevalence of T. vaginalis in female FCJDF detainees is similar to that of N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis. Based on these findings, screening for T. vaginalis infection should be considered for FCJDF female detainees. Continuing study will further examine demographic predictors of T. vaginalis infection in detained adolescent females.
