Abstract

ABSTRACT We analyzed data of 263 women with at least one genital or anorectal sexually transmitted infection from a cross-sectional study conducted in rural South Africa. We provide new insights concerning the concurrence of Chlamydia trachomatis , Neisseria gonorrhoeae , Mycoplasma genitalium , and Trichomonas vaginalis infections as well as the characteristics of bacterial loads.
