The increased incidence of sexually transmitted infections has historically been associated with military personnel at war. The incidence of gonorrhea and Chlamydia in personnel deployed in the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has not been reported. An electronic records' review of testing done from January 2004 to September 2009 revealed higher rates of Chlamydia than gonorrhea, especially among females who deploy to Iraq. Additionally, increasing Chlamydia rates were noted over the study. Overall, the rates of gonorrhea and Chlamydia were the same or lower than age- and year-matched U.S. rates reported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Ongoing education with emphasis on prevention and treatment are needed, as are development of specific projects to define the risk factors and timing of acquisition of sexually transmitted infections in combat zones.
从历史上看，性传播感染发病率的上升一直与参战军人有关。目前在伊拉克和阿富汗战争中部署的人员中淋病和衣原体感染的发病率尚未见报道。对2004年1月至2009年9月期间进行的检测的电子记录审查显示，衣原体感染率高于淋病感染率，尤其是在部署到伊拉克的女性中。此外，在研究期间还注意到衣原体感染率在上升。总体而言，淋病和衣原体感染率与疾病控制和预防中心报告的年龄和年份匹配的美国感染率相同或更低。需要持续开展以预防和治疗为重点的教育，还需要开展具体项目来确定战区性传播感染的危险因素和感染时间。
