Article Synopsis
- Universal antiretroviral treatment (ART) has decreased the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission, but many women on ART are not fully virally suppressed during and after pregnancy due to factors like poor treatment adherence and co-infections.* -
- This study analyzed the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adolescent girls and young women both living with HIV and without HIV during their postpartum clinic visits in South Africa.* -
- Results showed that 21.7% of women tested positive for STIs postpartum, with higher rates found in women living with HIV, and significant proportions also had bacterial vaginosis, which can complicate their health outcomes.*

Trichomoniasis is the most prevalent curable, non-viral sexually transmitted infection (STI), with an estimated 156 million new infections in 2020. It can potentially result in adverse birth outcomes as well as infertility in men, whilst it also increases the risk of acquiring HIV and contracting other vaginal infections. It is mostly prevalent among women in low-income countries and especially in Africa and the Americas.
