Of 37 female adolescent prostitutes and 63 other females held in the King County, Washington, juvenile detention facility, 81 (81%) complained of vaginal discharge, and only eight (8%) had no genitourinary symptoms. The prevalence of genital infections among prostitutes and nonprostitutes was similar. Neisseria gonorrhoeae was found in 18 (18%) of 98 detainees tested, and Chlamydia trachomatis was found in 17 (20%) of 86 detainees tested; either organism was found in 27 (32%) of 85 tested for both organisms. Also, 38 (48%) of 80 tested had trichomoniasis. No detainees had syphilis. Sixty-seven (68%) of 98 responding detainees used no contraception. Such populations deserve the attention of public programs for control of sexually transmitted diseases and for family planning.
在华盛顿州金县青少年拘留所关押的37名女性青少年妓女和63名其他女性中，81人（81%）主诉有阴道分泌物，只有8人（8%）没有泌尿生殖系统症状。妓女和非妓女中生殖器感染的患病率相似。在接受检测的98名被拘留者中，18人（18%）发现淋病奈瑟菌，在接受检测的86名被拘留者中，17人（20%）发现沙眼衣原体；在同时检测这两种病原体的85人中，27人（32%）发现其中一种病原体。此外，在接受检测的80人中，38人（48%）患有滴虫病。没有被拘留者患有梅毒。在98名做出回应的被拘留者中，67人（68%）未采取避孕措施。这类人群值得公共项目关注，以控制性传播疾病和开展计划生育工作。
