Sexually Transmitted Infections Sample Clauses

Sexually Transmitted Infections. 4.2.3.1. In accordance with Section 25-4-401, C.R.S., the reporting of sexually transmitted infections to DPHE is essential to enable a better understanding of the scope of exposure and the impact of the exposure on the community and to optimize means of sexually transmitted infection control. The use of Medicaid data provides insight into the screening and treatment practices for STIs (Chlamydia (CT), Gonorrhea (GC) and all stages of Syphilis, including instances of congenital syphilis) among Medicaid eligible clients. This unique data set will help DPHE estimate population level screening and treatment practices for STIs in Colorado to better design prevention initiatives to respond to increases in STIs and improve the health of Coloradans affected by STIs.

Sexually Transmitted Infections. Untreated STIs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, can result in pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and other infections damaging to the reproductive system (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015c). Furthermore, women often cannot detect any symptoms when they have either of these two infections (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015c). Other consequences of STI infections include mother to child transmission of several STIs (e.g., syphilis), cervical cancer, increased susceptibility to further STI infection, and multi- drug resistant gonorrhea (World Health Organization, n.d.). There is very little information about the prevalence of STIs in populations with SMI (Xxxxxx et al., 2016). However, several studies indicate that women with SMI are at higher risk than the general population of acquiring HIV, Hepatitis B, and Xxxxxxxxx C (Xxxxxx et al., 2016; XxXxxxxx et al., 2002; Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2001). Unfortunately, HIV testing is not routine in most mental health settings (Xxxx & Xxxxx, 2009). A meta-analysis of HIV infections in psychiatric settings, found that that the prevalence of HIV amongst patients with SMI (6.9%) was higher than the national average (0.4% at the time of the review) (XxXxxxxx et al., 2002). A more recent systematic review and meta analysis, found a pooled a similar prevalence of HIV in patients with SMI in the US of 6.0 percent (95% CI 4.3-8.3) (Xxxxxx et al., 2015). Xxxxxxxx et al (2002) concluded that, due to the high rates of HIV infection, STDs, sex, and drug use in persons living with SMI, clinicians in psychiatric settings are in a unique position to ensure that their patients connect with the appropriate resources for prevention, risk assessment, and treatment. Concerning patterns of low STI testing rates emerged in a study of adult women with SMI at the Grady Behavioral Outpatient Center (Bougrab, Xxxxxx, Ford, Girod, & Xxxxxx, 2015).
