Exploring Chlamydia trachomatis screening in Shenzhen
Objectives This study evaluates the feasibility of a sample pooling strategy for Chlamydia trachomatis detection in pre-marital and pre-pregnancy screening in China, where pooled testing for CT remains limited despite its use in COVID-19 and HIV screening. Methods From January to May 2024, 8,142 urine samples were collected from participants in pre-marital and pre-pregnancy health checks in Nanshan District. Positive urine samples with different …
Distribution of Chlamydia trachomatis ompA genotypes and its association with abnormal cervical cytology among women of reproductive age in Shenzhen, China
Background Many studies have focused on the distribution and specific clinical symptoms caused by Chlamydia trachomatis . Still, relatively few studies have focused on the associations between Chlamydia trachomatis genotypes and cervical intraepithelial lesions. Objectives This study was conducted to determine the distribution of Chlamydia trachomatis genotypes and its associations with cervical intraepithelial lesions among women of reproductive…
High chlamydia infection and its associated factors among patients seeking clinic-based STI services in Southern China
Objective Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide. This study aimed to provide prevalence and associated factors data among patients seeking clinic-based STI services for estimating the disease burden of CT. Study design and method A cross-sectional survey was conducted among patients attending clinics for STI services. Patients' social-demographic and behavioral information …
Acceptability of rectal self-sampling in non-clinical venues for chlamydia and gonorrhea testing among men who have sex with men
Background: Rectal Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections among men who have sex with men (MSM) have become an increasingly important concern. The study aimed to explore (1) the acceptability of rectal self-sampling for chlamydia and gonorrhea testing among MSM in non-clinical venues in Shenzhen city, China; (2) factors associated with the acceptability of rectal self-sampling; and (3) factors associated with rectal …
Cluster analysis for symptomatic management of Neisseria gonorrhoea and Chlamydia trachomatis in sexually transmitted infections related clinics in China
Objective: (CT) and to identify which cluster of symptoms was associated with a higher risk of NG and CT. Study design: From 15 April to 16 May 2018, a cross-sectional study was conducted, and patients attending sexually transmitted infections (STI) related clinics were recruited from 22 medical institutions in six districts of Shenzhen city. Methods: A structured questionnaire was used to collect social-demographic information as well as STI sym…
High Willingness to Participate in Partner Notification among Women Attending Reproductive Health and STI Clinics in Shenzhen, China
Genital Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STI) worldwide. We explored the factors associated with willingness to participate in partner notification (PN) among women attending reproductive health and STI clinics in Shenzhen, China. An anonymous questionnaire was used to collect the sociodemographic characteristics, STI histories, and willingness to participate in routine CT screening and partner…

Challenges to recruiting population representative samples of female sex workers in China using Respondent Driven Sampling
The prevalence of urethral and rectal Mycoplasma genitalium among men who have sex with men in China, a cross-sectional study
In this study, we investigated the prevalence of MG infection in the population of interest, as determined from both urethral and rectal specimen. We showed that MG was more prevalent in MSM who had bisexual behaviors compared to those who engaged only in homosexual behaviors. Further work is needed to establish the mode of MG transmission and to identify its role in HIV transmission. Meanwhile, more attention should be paid to MG infection among…
Human papillomavirus-related psychosocial impact of patients with genital warts in China
Patients with GW suffered heavy psychological burden, and self-image and sexual-related concern were the primary cause of burdens. It's important to change the current biomedical model to bio-psycho-social model, and establish psychosocial support systems. The distinctions of origins of psychosocial burden between genders identified will be informative for prevention of GW and control efforts in China and other similar settings
The prevalences of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis infections among female sex workers in China
The high STI prevalence rates found among FSWs, especially among FSWs in low-tier sex work venues, suggest that the comprehensive prevention and control programs including not only behavioral interventions but also screening and medical care are needed to meet the needs of this population
Exploring Venue-Associated Risk
The re-emerging syphilis epidemic in China is documented among sex workers, but little is known about STI risk among the broader group of women who work at entertainment and service venues, many of whom do not self-identify as sex workers. In 2009 in Liuzhou, China, community informants identified venues where people meet sexual partners. Characteristics of a stratified random sample of venues were collected during venue visits. Female staff at 4…
Risk factors for Mycoplasma genitalium infection among female sex workers
MG infection was prevalent among FSWs in the study areas. This pattern of infection suggests that an increasing attention should be paid to MG screening and treatment in this high risk population
HIV/STD pattern and its associated risk factors among male STD clinic attendees in China
A modest prevalence of HIV infection and substantial prevalence of other STD infections were found among male patients attending public STD clinics in China. The findings further support the introduction of HIV and syphilis PITC strategy into this important setting
