“…Similarly; of the 45.6% who had PID, a great number 25(80.6%) had a single sexual partner. This is in congruence with [13]; which revealed that women who had four or more sexual partners in six months were 3.4 times more likely to develop PID than women with one sexual partner, owing to the established fact from [13] that women who have frequent sexual intercourse are at increased risk for infection and PID. Also, those previously with STDs, considerably reported to successfully have treated it implying they may not get to continue owing to availability of medications.…”

PID is a significant public health issue among sexually active women, with silent PID being a major diagnostic and treatment challenge. A 2008 study estimated an average direct medical cost of $3,202 per case of PID. A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted to assess the factors influencing the prevalence of PID among sexually active women attending OBS/GYN clinics at KIU-TH. The study found that 45.6% of sexually active women at KIU-TH had PID, with 80.6% having their first intercourse at 18 years of age, 19.4% starting between 15-18 years, and 90.6% preferring pills or withdrawal for contraception. 51.9% attended government healthcare, while 56.2% used government facilities. Most PID patients reached within one hour or less than 30 minutes. Only 38.7% could meet their bills without insurance. Most patients agreed that health sensitization is essential, and 96.9% received counseling and professional advice. 62.5% of PID affected women were under 35 years old, 35.5% were unemployed, and 59.3% earned ≤50,000/= and had secondary education. The prevalence of PID among sexually active women at KIUTH is 45.6%. Keywords: prevalence, pelvic inflammatory disease, sexually active women
