Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 January 2024
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) impose a lifelong threat and a large burden for sexually active women. Chlamydia, gonorrhoea and trichomoniasis can lead to irreversible infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and life-threatening conditions such as ectopic pregnancy. Current risk groups for STIs especially include adolescents and young adults who have recently become sexually active.

Obstetrician-gynaecologists need to have special attention for this age group.
