HIV Status and Other Risk Factors for Prevalent and Incident Sexually Transmitted Infection during Pregnancy (2000-2014)

Abstract: Background. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are associated with adverse birth outcomes. Current prenatal STI screening guidelines define “risk” without explicit consideration of HIV status. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that HIV status is associated with bacterial STI in pregnant women.Methods. We designed a retrospective cohort study to identify pregnant women with HIV who delivered at our facility during 2000-2014. HIV+ women were compared to HIV- women with matching by year of delivery.

It was also confirmed in a study in South Africa that HIV infection is a risk factor for STIs and likewise, STI infection is a risk factor for HIV acquisition [30,31]. It is also probable that there was laxity in sexual and reproductive health service promotion programs but the decline in 2016 is probably due to increased uptake of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among young people, leading to improved knowledge of HIV/STI, and promotion of safer sex following the SRH/HIV integration in Uganda in 2012 [32].…”
