Abstract
We analyzed data of 263 women with at least one genital or anorectal sexually transmitted infection from a cross-sectional study
conducted in rural South Africa. We provide new insights concerning the concurrence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae,
Mycoplasma genitalium, and Trichomonas vaginalis infections as well as the characteristics of bacterial loads.
