Repeat Chlamydia Diagnoses Increase the Hazard of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease among US Army Women: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.
Sex Transm Dis
November 2018
Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch, Public Health Division, Defense Health Agency, Silver Spring, MD.
Background: In the US military, chlamydia is the mostly commonly diagnosed bacterial sexually transmitted infection and the rates of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) have remained high since the early 2000s.
Methods: The relationship between the number of chlamydia diagnoses and hazard of PID was investigated in a retrospective cohort analysis among US Army women from 2006 to 2012. Cox regression model was used to estimate hazard ratios for associations between the number of repeat chlamydia diagnoses and PID.
Characteristics of Cases With Repeated Sexually Transmitted Infections, Massachusetts, 2014-2016.

June 2018
Division of STD Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia.
Background: Persons with prior sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are at high risk for reinfection. No recent studies have examined frequency with which persons are diagnosed and reported with multiple bacterial STIs over time.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, of confirmed syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydial infections reported to Massachusetts state surveillance system within a 2-year period, 28 July 2014-27 July 2016.
Objectives: We aimed to identify demographic and behavioural determinants associated with risk of repeat STI infection and coinfection with gonorrhea and chlamydia in the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region, Saskatchewan.
Methods: We extracted data from a cross-sectional sample of laboratory confirmed gonorrhea cases between 2003 and 2012 from the notifiable disease files of the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region. Risk factors for repeater status were examined using logistic regression and for coinfection with gonorrhea and chlamydia using mixed-effects logistic regression to account for multiple diagnoses for individual clients.
Characteristics of LGV repeaters: analysis of LGV surveillance data.
Sex Transm Infect
June 2014
Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Imperial College London, London, UK.
Objectives: A number of individuals have acquired lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) infection multiple times since its re-emergence. We describe the characteristics of reinfections and those who acquire them.
Methods: The LGV Enhanced Surveillance system collected detailed information on LGV episodes in the U.
Objectives: This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of HIV infection and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among persons who attended voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) service for HIV and to assess whether the VCT programme reached the right population at risk in Taiwan.
Methods: From 2006 to 2010, questionnaire interview, integrated pretesting and post-testing counselling, followed by serological tests for HIV, Treponema pallidum and Entamoeba histolytica were performed for all VCT clients; additional tests for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae using PCR assays of urine specimens were provided when the assays became available in two periods.
Results: During the study period, 10 198 VCT attendances occurred in 6863 clients, in whom 1685 (24.
