Abstract

We evaluated the proportion of patients with trichomoniasis and chlamydial infections who received recommended versus non-recommended antibiotic therapy after the updated 2021 Sexually Transmitted Infections Guideline. Of 712 patients, 473 (66%) received recommended therapy. Receipt of emergency department care was independently associated with recommended therapy (adjOR, 2.1; 95% CI 1.5-2.9).
