Women in the United States who have been incarcerated report higher rates of sexual risk behavior and sexually transmitted infections; the study found that incarceration increases the incidence of first incident STIs; therefore, women who have recently experienced incarceration may be at increased risk of STIs.
Background: U.S. women who have been incarcerated report high rates of sexual risk behavior and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).Methods: We estimated the effect of incarceration on the time to first incident STI in a multicenter cohort of U.S. women with or at risk for HIV. We used marginal structural models to compare time to first self-reported gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomonas infection for nonincarcerated women and incarcerated women. Covariates included demographic factors, HIV status, sex exchange, drug/alcohol use, and prior incarceration.Results: Three thousand hundred twenty-four women contributed a median of 4 at-risk years and experienced 213 first incident STI events. The crude incidence of STIs was 3.7 per 100 person-years for incarcerated women and 1.9 per 100 person-years for nonincarcerated women. The weighted hazard ratio for incident STIs was 4.05 (95% confidence interval: 1.61-10.19).Conclusion: Women with or at risk for HIV in the United States who have recently experienced incarceration may be at increased STI risk.
