Reproductive Health and STDs Among Clients of a Women's Health Mobile Clinic in Rural Bali, Indonesia

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

February 23, 2001

Researchers attempted to determine the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among women attending a women's health mobile clinic in rural Bali, Indonesia. Of the more than 300 women, more than half had at least one reproductive tract infection (RTI), and nearly 20 percent had at least one STD. Based on their findings, the researchers calls for greater STD prevention efforts, RTI/STD management, and condom promotion in the rural region.
