Post-migration HIV acquisition among african immigrants in the U.S
Seroprevalencia poblacional de la enfermedad celíaca en zonas urbanas del Perú
The objective of the study was to determine the seroprevalence of celiac disease (CD) in urban areas of Peru using a population-based sample. A random sample of women and men 18 to 29 years old from 26 cities in Peru was screened. An anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA kit was used for the detection of CD. Results higher than 20 AU / ml were considered positive. The weighted prevalence of celiac disease was 1.2% (CI 95%: 0.0% - 2.4%), thus the estim…

Transactional sex in the fishing communities along Lake Victoria, Kenya
The study describes the nature, context and implications of a unique form of transactional sexual relationships in the fishing communities along Lake Victoria in Kisumu County, Kenya. We conducted 12 focus group discussions and 17 key informant interviews among fishermen, fishmongers and fish transporters in Kisumu. Women fishmongers in the fishing communities commonly form relationships with fishermen, which are often sexual, as part of the jabo…
Partner- and partnership-related risk factors for preterm birth among low-income women in Lima, Peru
Moving Upstream
Objectives. We determined the associations of ecosocial factors and psychosocial factors with having a prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI), recent STI diagnoses, and sexual risk behaviors. Methods. Young adults aged 18 to 27 years in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (n=14322) provided ecosocial, psychosocial, behavioral, and STI-history data. Urine was tested for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae by li…
Association Between Condom Use at Sexual Debut and Subsequent Sexual Trajectories
Objectives. We compared subsequent sexual behaviors and risk of sexually transmitted infections among adolescents who did and did not use a condom at their sexual debut. Methods. We derived data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, which followed a sample of 4018 sexually active adolescents between 1994 and 2002. During waves I, II, and III of the study, data on sexual behavior were gathered, and at wave III urine specimens …
Mycoplasma genitalium Among Young Adults in the United States
Objectives. We sought to determine the prevalence of and risk factors associated with Mycoplasma genitalium infection in a nationally representative sample of young adults in the United States. Methods. Urine specimens from 1714 women and 1218 men who participated in Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N=14322) were tested for M genitalium. Poststratification sampling weights were used to generate nationally represen…
Comparative Geographic Concentrations of 4 Sexually Transmitted Infections
Objectives. We measured and compared the concentration of primary and secondary syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydial infection, and genital herpes in a large county with urban, suburban, and rural settings. Methods. We geocoded sexually transmitted infections reported to King County, Washington health department in 2000–2001 to census tract of residence. We used a model-based approach to measure concentration with Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients. …
Do People Really Know Their Sex Partners?
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: An individual's risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has been associated empirically with the individual having concurrent sexual partners (individual's concurrency) and, theoretically, with the individual's partner having concurrent partners (partner's concurrency). GOALS: The goals of this study were to assess the relationship of STI to individual's concurrency, the partner's concurrency, and awareness of the…
Elimination and reintroduction of primary and secondary syphilis
OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to define factors associated with the epidemic spread, elimination, and reintroduction of primary and secondary syphilis in King County, Washington, from 1987 through 1998. METHODS: Reports of primary and secondary syphilis in King County from 1987 through 1998 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: During the epidemic spread of syphilis, only 15.8% of cases were imported. A total of 24.0% of patients reporte…
Prevention of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease by Screening for Cervical Chlamydial Infection
Background Chlamydia trachomatis is a frequent cause of pelvic inflammatory disease. However, there is little information from clinical studies about whether screening women for cervical chlamydial infection can reduce the incidence of this serious illness. Methods We conducted a randomized, controlled trial to determine whether selective testing for cervical chlamydial infection prevented pelvic inflammatory disease. Women who were at high risk …
Sociodemographic distribution of gonorrhea incidence
BACKGROUND. Despite a declining incidence during the AIDS era, gonorrhea remains the most frequently reported communicable disease in the United States. METHODS. During 1986 and 1987 we supplemented gonorrhea case reporting with laboratory surveillance in King County, Washington. Incidence rates were correlated with demographic variables. RESULTS. Overall incidence of gonorrhea was similar for men and women, but highest for 16- to 21-year-old fem…
High prevalence of cervical dysplasia in STD clinic patients warrants routine cytologic screening
The results of routine cervical cytology screening at a Planned Parenthood Center (PPC) clinic were compared to those at a nearby sexually transmitted diseases (STD) clinic in Seattle. Cervical cytologic findings were consistent with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), grades 1 (mild dysplasia), 2 (moderate dysplasia), or 3 (severe dysplasia to carcinoma in situ) in 502 (5.9 per cent) of 8,504 PPC patients and 87 (11.4 per cent) of 764 STD …
