Among 795 eligible females, 105 had Trichomonas, 74 had CT, and 35 had ... GC were strongly associated with each other, Trichomonas infection was unrelated to infection with either GC or CT. Trichomonas results do not predict results for GC and CT; they should not influence the decision to treat for GC and CT. [more...]
