In this study we investigated the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum, human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I), human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections in 200 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at the University Hospital of the West Indies. 19% of the women had at least one pathogen: C. trachomatis was found in 16%, HTLV-1 in 2%, HIV-1, HBV and N. gonorrhoeae each in 0.5% C. trachomatis infection was more prevalent in women less than 20 years of age (31%) than in those 20 years and older (16%; OR = 0.43; chi 2 = 5.66; p < 0.05). The study demonstrates the need for identification of sexually transmitted pathogens in antenatal women for syndromic management of genital infections as part of the strategy for prevention and control of HIV/AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) in Jamaica.
在本研究中，我们调查了200名在西印度群岛大学医院产前诊所就诊的孕妇中沙眼衣原体、淋病奈瑟菌、梅毒螺旋体、人类免疫缺陷病毒I型（HIV-I）、人类嗜T细胞病毒1型（HTLV-1）和乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）感染的流行情况。19%的女性至少感染一种病原体：沙眼衣原体感染率为16%，HTLV-1为2%，HIV-1、HBV和淋病奈瑟菌感染率均为0.5%。沙眼衣原体感染在年龄小于20岁的女性中（31%）比20岁及以上的女性中（16%）更普遍（OR = 0.43；卡方 = 5.66；p < 0.05）。该研究表明，作为牙买加预防和控制艾滋病毒/艾滋病（获得性免疫缺陷综合征）战略的一部分，有必要对产前女性进行性传播病原体检测，以便对生殖器感染进行综合征管理。
