| cytomegalovirus infection in sexually active adolescents. | to determine whether cytomegalovirus (cmv) infection in teenage girls is related to sexual activity, 254 girls 12-18 years old (mean, 15.8) attending a contraceptive counseling clinic were studied. participants were screened for chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, and trichomonas vaginalis, and serum antibody to cmv was determined. demographic and sexual history data were collected by interview. the mean number of lifetime sex partners was 2.2; 173 (68%) were seropositive. race, greate ... | 1991 | 1847399 |
| sexually transmitted diseases and sexual behavior in urban adolescent females attending a family planning clinic. | specimens from the lower genital tract of 102 sexually active urban adolescent females were tested for the common sexually transmitted diseases (stds). the results were correlated with concomitant clinical, demographic, and historic data. forty-one percent (42/102) were infected with one or more of the following organisms: chlamydia trachomatis (26/102), trichomonas vaginalis (13/102), neisseria gonorrhoeae (10/102), yeast (6/102), condyloma (5/102), and herpes simplex virus (1/44). mixed infect ... | 1988 | 3335474 |
| detection of trichomonosis in vaginal and urine specimens from women by culture and pcr. | vaginal trichomonosis is a highly prevalent infection which has been associated with human immunodeficiency virus acquisition and preterm birth. culture is the current "gold standard" for diagnosis. as urine-based testing using dna amplification techniques becomes more widely used for other sexually transmitted diseases (stds) such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, a similar technique for trichomonosis would be highly desirable. women attending an std clinic for a new complaint were screened for trich ... | 2000 | 11015368 |
| risk and prevalence of treatable sexually transmitted diseases at a birmingham substance abuse treatment facility. | we evaluated the prevalence of gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and syphilis in patients entering residential drug treatment. | 2000 | 11029998 |
| validity of self-reported sexually transmitted diseases among african american female adolescents participating in an hiv/std prevention intervention trial. | studies assessing the validity attributed to self-reported measures of sexually transmitted diseases (stds) clearly are needed, particularly those used for high-risk populations such as female adolescents, in whom std prevention is a priority. | 2001 | 11473220 |
| predictors of infection with trichomonas vaginalis: a prospective study of low income african-american adolescent females. | to identify psychosocial predictors of trichomonas vaginalis infection among low income african-american adolescent females living in a high risk urban area of the united states. | 2002 | 12407241 |
| value of consistent condom use: a study of sexually transmitted disease prevention among african american adolescent females. | | 2003 | 12773349 |
| high rates of trichomonas vaginalis among men attending a sexually transmitted diseases clinic: implications for screening and urethritis management. | trichomonas is a cause of nongonococcal urethritis (ngu); however, studies of its prevalence in men have been hampered by the lack of sensitive diagnostics. dna amplification allows for reappraisal of the extent of infection in men. men attending a sexually transmitted diseases clinic were tested for trichomonas, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. the prevalence of these pathogens was 17%, 19.6%, and 17.7% respectively. in men with ngu, 19.9% were infected with trichomonas. these data have implications f ... | 2003 | 12870131 |
| predictors of bacterial vaginosis in adolescent women who douche. | risk factors for bacterial vaginosis (bv) include douching and sexual activity, although the exact cause of bv is unknown. | 2004 | 15215700 |
| the association between oral contraceptives, depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate, and trichomoniasis. | hormonal contraception use by women may increase the risk of acquiring certain sexually transmitted infections. we explored the effect of hormonal contraceptive use, specifically oral contraception (oc), and depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (dmpa) on trichomonas vaginalis infections in women. | 2009 | 19556926 |
| can mailed swab samples be dry-shipped for the detection of chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, and trichomonas vaginalis by nucleic acid amplification tests? | dry-shipped and mailed vaginal swabs collected at home have been used in research studies for the detection of chlamydia trachomatis (ct), neisseria gonorrhoeae (gc), and trichomonas vaginalis (tv) by nucleic acid amplification tests (naats) in screening programs. a verification study was performed to compare the limit of detection of ct, gc, and tv on swabs that were dry-shipped to paired swabs that were wet-shipped in transport media through the us mail. the centers for disease control and pre ... | 2012 | 22578934 |
| trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acid amplification testing at an urban hiv clinic. | trichomonas vaginalis is the most common nonviral sexually transmitted infection. t. vaginalis nucleic acid amplification testing (naat) recently became available at the university of alabama at birmingham human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) clinic. the objective of this study was to determine the uptake of t. vaginalis naat testing among clinic providers during the first year of test availability in addition to t. vaginalis prevalence and predictors based on naat results. | 2016 | 27419815 |
| trichomonas vaginalis infection among women receiving gynaecological care at an alabama hiv clinic. | trichomoniasis vaginalis is a risk factor for the acquisition and transmission of hiv. the objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of t vaginalis (using culture) among hiv-infected women receiving gynaecological care at an university hiv clinic in alabama in addition to predictors of infection. | 2013 | 23449600 |
