Indian Journal of Community Medicine, 05/01/09
Sharma S et al. - From this study, the prevalence of RTIs was 51.9%, which is high probably due to a lack of awareness and the inaccessibility of health care services in this hilly and far flung area. Others have reported similar high rates of RTIs in community-based studies in developing countries. In a study among rural Indian women, a high prevalence of bacterial vaginosis (62%), candidiasis (34%), trichomoniasis (13.98%), and syphilis (10.5%) was observed. In this study, maximum prevalence was found in the age group of 25-34 years old - a period of maximum sexual and reproductive activity. A study on community-level health-education intervention reported an improvement in the level of awareness among both men and women regarding RTIs and STDs and also revealed an eight-fold increase in their clinic attendance.
