trachomatis (CT) is a global problem. We compared the risk taking behaviors for CT infection between men and women. Adults (2299 females, 5559 males) were administered the Risk Behavior Assessment. In women, CT was associated with candidiasis, in men with gonorrhea, genital warts, and syphilis. Risk factors for both genders were trading sex for money, use of marijuana for women, and use of Ecstasy and Viagra for men. Those with CT had higher risk perception for HIV infection and were more likely to obtain HIV testing. Patient teaching and concurrent testing for HIV and CT are imperative.
沙眼衣原体(CT)是一个全球性问题。我们比较了男性和女性感染 CT 的风险行为。对成年人(2299 名女性,5559 名男性)进行了风险行为评估。在女性中,CT 与念珠菌病有关,而在男性中,与淋病、生殖器疣和梅毒有关。对两性来说,风险因素都是为了钱而进行性交易、女性使用大麻,以及男性使用摇头丸和伟哥。那些感染 CT 的人对 HIV 感染的风险认知更高,并且更有可能接受 HIV 检测。患者教育以及同时检测 HIV 和 CT 是至关重要的。
