title: [Analysis of the infection of sexually transmitted diseases among high-risk population in Nanjing].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To survey the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases among high-risk population in Nanjing.
  
  
  METHODS
  A high-risk population of 1539 underwent physical examinations from September 2001 to May 2004. The results were recorded, the urogenital swabs collected to further detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GN), Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu), and the blood specimens tested for syphilis and HIV antibodies.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The infection rates were 13.5% for GN, 10.3% for syphilis, 2.3% for condyloma acuminata, 35.9% for Ct and 22.4% for Uu respectively. Nongonococcal urethritis (NUG) was shown to be the most prevalent STD in the group. No subject was found to be positive with HIV antibody.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Screening strategy in the high risk population is useful and efficient in controlling the spread of STDs and HIV.
