BACKGROUND
Although rural Latino migrant laborers have been identified as a group at-risk for acquiring HIV, few studies have examined transmitted diseases (STDs) in urban, Latino migrant laborers.
GOAL
To assess the prevalence of STDs in a sample of urban, migrant day laborers in San Francisco.
STUDY DESIGN
A convenience sample of participants in the Day Laborer Project of the San Francisco Department of Public Health was screened for STDs from September 1994 to January 2001. Screening included serologic tests for syphilis and nucleic acid amplification tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
RESULTS
A total of 292 clients participated in the screening program. All participants were male, Latino, and recent immigrants. Of the 235 persons screened for syphilis, secondary syphilis was diagnosed in one (0.4%) participant. Of the 198 persons screened for gonorrhea and chlamydia, 1 (0.5%) had gonorrhea and 7 (3.5%) had chlamydia.
CONCLUSION
Urban Latino migrant day laborers are a population at-risk for infection with STDs. Community-based STD screening programs might be an effective way to detect STDs in this population.
背景
尽管农村拉丁裔流动劳工已被认定为感染艾滋病毒的高危群体，但很少有研究调查城市拉丁裔流动劳工中的性传播疾病（STD）情况。
目标
评估旧金山城市流动日工样本中性传播疾病的患病率。
研究设计
1994年9月至2001年1月期间，对旧金山市公共卫生部日工项目的参与者进行便利抽样，筛查性传播疾病。筛查包括梅毒血清学检测以及淋病和衣原体的核酸扩增检测。
结果
共有292名客户参与了筛查项目。所有参与者均为男性、拉丁裔且为新移民。在235名接受梅毒筛查的人中，有1人（0.4%）被诊断为二期梅毒。在198名接受淋病和衣原体筛查的人中，1人（0.5%）患有淋病，7人（3.5%）患有衣原体感染。
结论
城市拉丁裔流动日工是感染性传播疾病的高危人群。基于社区的性传播疾病筛查项目可能是检测该人群性传播疾病的有效方法。
