Records of the sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic visits of 12,728 patients in Columbus, Ohio were analyzed to better understand the behavior patterns of these patients. Among heterosexual men, a greater proportion of Blacks than Whites reported a previous history of urethritis. After controlling for previous STD among heterosexual men with discharge or dysuria, we found that Black men sought treatment sooner and were more likely to curtail sexual activity than White men after becoming symptomatic with gonorrhea or nongonococcal urethritis.
对俄亥俄州哥伦布市12728名患者的性传播疾病(STD)门诊记录进行了分析,以更好地了解这些患者的行为模式。在异性恋男性中,报告有尿道炎既往史的黑人比例高于白人。在对有分泌物或排尿困难的异性恋男性既往性传播疾病进行控制后,我们发现,黑人男性在出现淋病或非淋菌性尿道炎症状后比白人男性更早寻求治疗,并且更有可能减少性活动。
