Wiesenfeld, et al. [89]
|
Pennsylvania, US
|
Cross-sectional
|
Non-pregnant women who sought care at STD clinics

|
Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, Alabama, South Carolina, US

Cohort
|
Women attending primary care, gynecology, and family planning clinics

Brotman, et al. [92]
|
Alabama, US
|
Cohort
|
Non-pregnant women visiting clinics for routine care

BV at the prior visit increased the risk of a subsequent C. trachomatis (hazard ratio = 1.9) and N. gonorrhoeae (hazard ratio = 1.8) infection
|
Gallo, et al. [93]
|
Alabama, US
|
Cohort
|
Women attending public STD clinics
