Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of four sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among women with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and compare it to women without HIV.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, reviewing 67 studies from 1999 to 2019, revealing that the prevalence of gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and Mycoplasma genitalium was notably higher among women with HIV.
- The findings highlight the importance of integrated STI and HIV care, as higher STI rates among HIV-positive women could significantly affect HIV transmission dynamics.
