📢 New publication in @PLOS Global Public Health Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are curable but often asymptomatic. When left undiagnosed, they can lead to serious complications and continued transmission. In Kenya, a multi-center prevalence study by GARDP, the @MOH_Kenya and the @DNDi found: • Gonorrhoea prevalence was 1.0% in pregnant women and 9.4% in key populations (at higher risk for STIs) • Chlamydia prevalence was high in both groups: 9.6% in pregnant women and 11.2% in key populations • Younger individuals, particularly those under 20, carried the highest burden With STI care being largely syndromic, strengthening diagnostics 🧪 and surveillance will be critical to protect reproductive health and support antimicrobial stewardship 💊 🔗 Read the full paper: plos.pulse.ly/wh66ctplf6 #STIs #GlobalHealth #AMR #PublicHealth
