Educational level and risk of sexually transmitted infections among clients of Dutch sexual health centres

International Journal of STD & AIDS May 22, 2021

Slurink IAL, Gotz HM, van Aar F, et al. - This research sought to evaluate if educational level is an independent determinant for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among clients consulting Dutch sexual health centres (SHCs). With data from the National STI surveillance database (2015–2017), researchers used generalized estimating equations corrected for (sexual) risk factors to calculate relationships between educational level and chlamydia and gonorrhoea among women (n = 146,020), heterosexual men (n = 82,882) and men who have sex with men (MSM) (n = 52,149) and syphilis and HIV among MSM. The results showed that lower educational levels were independent determinants of STI in SHC clients. Among lower educated people, sexual health centres could facilitate STI testing and care by prioritizing their access.
