“…Although rural STI epidemiology has been the subject of relatively little research, high rural rates may be facilitated by interconnectedness with more urban areas and large spatial sexual networks 20 . However, the studies of increased rates among rural areas should not be taken to assume a uniform experience across all states (e.g., a report from Georgia finds STI more of an urban burden) 21 …”

“…20 However, the studies of increased rates among rural areas should not be taken to assume a uniform experience across all states (e.g., a report from Georgia finds STI more of an urban burden). 21 Concomitant with increased STI rates in many rural communities is the opioid (and other drug use) epidemic and associated behaviors. Compared with more metropolitan areas, many rural areas have similar, if not increased, rates of substance abuse.…”

Sexually Transmitted Infection Epidemiology and Care in Rural Areas: A Narrative Review

2021

Background: Although rural areas contain approximately 19% of the US population, little research has explored sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk and how urban-developed interventions may be suitable in more population-thin areas. Although STI rates vary across rural areas, these areas share diminishing access to screening and limited rural-specific testing of STI interventions.Methods: This narrative review uses a political ecology model of health and explores 4 domains influencing STI risk and screening: epidemiology, health services, political and economic, and social. Articles describing aspects of rural STI epidemiology, screening access and use, and intervention utility within these domains were found by a search of PubMed.
