| الوصف: | Four hundred female sex workers attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic in Lima, Peru, were interviewed for demographic information and medical, contraceptive, and sexual practice histories. Cervical cultures were done for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis , and serum was tested for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus, human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I), Treponema pallidum, C. trachomatis , herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), and Haemophilus ducreyi . The prevalence of HTLV-I increased with duration of prostitution from 3.6% (<3 years) to 9.3% (3–6 years) to 15.9% (>6 years; P > .01). After adjustment for duration of prostitution, reduced risk of HTLV-I was significantly correlated with condom use for more than half of all sexual exposures for >3 years (odds ratio [OR], 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13–0.89). Further adjusting for condom use, HTLV-I seropositivity was associated with C. trachomatis (OR, 3.7; 95% CI, 1.4-13.2) and with antibody to HSV-2 (OR, 3.7; 95% CI, 0.5–29.6). Thus, duration of prostitution, lack of consistent condom use, and past infection with C. trachomatis were significantly associated with HTLV-I seropositivity. |
