Trichomoniasis risk similar for infected, healthy women.
2002 MAY 30 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- by Michael Greer, senior medical writer - Women infected with HIV develop trichomoniasis at rates comparable to those seen in seronegative women, researchers in the United States report.
"Trichomoniasis has been implicated in the acquisition and transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection," explained Dr. Susan Cu-Uvin and colleagues at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.
However, the researchers found that HIV[superscript]+ women did not suffer from a heightened risk of this parasitic vaginal infection.
Cu-Uvin and coauthors examined the prevalence of trichomoniasis in a group of more than 870 female HIV patients participating in the HIV Epidemiology Study, or HERS. The trichomoniasis rate in this cohort was compared with that seen in a group of 439 high-risk but uninfected women enrolled in the same study, according to the report.
Trichomoniasis prevalence ranged from 9.4%-29.5% in seropositive women, not significantly higher than the 8.2%-23.4% prevalence found in uninfected participants. Neither HIV infection nor CD4 cell counts had an impact on the chances of contracting ...
