The general female population is not considered a high-risk group for screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This retrospective study describes the prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), (), (), (), (), spp., spp., genital Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Monkeypox (mpox), Hepatitis B virus (HBV), and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in asymptomatic and symptomatic cisgender women attending our walk-in STI clinic for the first time. Furthermore, it analyzes the number of individuals who returned for follow-up and were diagnosed with new STIs. Over 20 months, 189 women with a median age of 28.4 years were screened [129 (68.3%) asymptomatic and 60 (31.8%) symptomatic]. In order of prevalence, the most common STIs were: spp. infections (50.3%), (10.6%), (5.8%), infections (5.8%), (2.65%), HSV2 infections (2.65%), and mpox (0.53%). No diagnosis of HIV, trichomoniasis, HBV, or HCV was registered. After the initial evaluation, 128 (67.7%) women returned for follow-up, but only 43 (22.8%) repeated screening; among them, 11 (25.6%) were diagnosed with new STIs. Given the high prevalence of STIs in cisgender women, awareness measures to improve screening and prevention strategies in this neglected population are required.
一般女性人群不被视为性传播感染（STIs）筛查的高危群体。这项回顾性研究描述了首次前往我们的即时性传播感染诊所就诊的无症状和有症状的顺性别女性中人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）属、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）属、生殖器单纯疱疹病毒（HSV）、猴痘（mpox）、乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）和丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染的患病率。此外，它分析了回来接受随访并被诊断出患有新的性传播感染的个体数量。在20多个月的时间里，对189名中位年龄为28.4岁的女性进行了筛查[129名（68.3%）无症状，60名（31.8%）有症状]。按患病率排序，最常见的性传播感染依次为：（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）属感染（50.3%）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）（10.6%）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）（5.8%）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）感染（5.8%）、（此处原文缺失部分病原体名称）（2.65%）、HSV2感染（2.65%）和猴痘（0.53%）。未记录到HIV、滴虫病、HBV或HCV的诊断病例。在初次评估后，128名（67.7%）女性回来接受随访，但只有43名（22.8%）再次进行了筛查；其中，11名（25.6%）被诊断出患有新的性传播感染。鉴于顺性别女性中性传播感染的高患病率，需要采取提高认识的措施，以改善对这一被忽视人群的筛查和预防策略。
