국내 대학생들의 클라미디아와 임균감염의 유병률 조사 및 성생활에 따른 위험인자 분석 = Prevalence of Chlamydial and Gonococcal Infections and Sexual Behavior in University Students in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to define the prevalence of genital Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections and the status of sexual risk behavior among university students(18-25 years old) in the Capital region of Korea.
Materials and Methods: Participants filled out a self-administered questionnaire related to sexuality. First-void urine was analyzed for chlamydial and gonococcal infection by strand displacement amplification(BDProbTecTM ET, BD Diagnostic Systems, MD USA).
Results: A total of 622 students from 15 colleges within 3 universities took part in the study. Their median age was 21, with 39.1% reporting having sexual intercourse at least once. The prevalence of C. trachomatis among sexually active men and women was 8.4% and 10.6%, respectively. Gonococcal infection was noted in one symptomatic male. Factors significantly associated with infection were number of sexual partners in past year and during a lifetime and condom use.
Conclusions: This is the first community-based sexually transmitted infections(STI) screening in South Korea. Urine-based STI screening was both feasible and acceptable in university students in South Korea, and should be considered a routine part of national programs to control STI.
