BackgroundMost sexually active people will be infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) at some point in their lives. The number of STIs in the United States was previously estimated in 2000. We updated previous estimates to reflect the number of STIs for calendar year 2008.MethodsWe reviread more

Erin E. Bonar,Maureen A. Walton,Martina T. Caldwell,Lauren K. Whiteside,Kristen L. Barry,Rebecca M. Cunningham +5 more
TL;DR: Evaluated the prevalence and correlates of self-reported STI history among adolescents presenting to an emergency department (ED), finding previous STI was significantly higher among females than males and female sex, older age, non-Caucasian race, not being enrolled in school, medically related ED chief complaint, and inconsistent condom use were associated with increased odds ofSelf-reported StI history.

Trichomonas vaginalis is most frequently detected in women at the age of peri-/premenopause: an unusual pattern for a sexually transmitted pathogen.
TL;DR: The detection rate of T vaginalis does not appear to decrease with age as observed for C trachomatis and reaches maximum rates in women 48–51 years old and the geographic distribution of T vagina appears to be broadly similar to that of other sexually transmitted diseases.
