衣原体感染、淋病和滴虫病是美国最常见的非病毒性性传播感染（STI）。患病率和发病率估计值来自几个来源，包括报告病例、基于诊所的估计值和基于社区的估计值。核酸扩增检测和调查抽样技术相结合，使得能够对这些感染的流行情况作出基于人口的真实估计。本文回顾了这些性传播感染的患病率和发生率的估计，不包括纯粹基于临床的估计。每种类型的估计的优势和局限性也进行了讨论。
Chlamydial infection, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis are the most common nonviral sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. Prevalence and incidence estimates are derived from several sources, including reported cases, clinic-based estimates, and community-based estimates. The combination of nucleic acid amplification tests and survey sampling techniques have led to the availability of true population-based estimates of the prevalence of these infections. This article reviews the estimates of prevalence and incidence, excluding purely clinic-based estimates, for these STIs. The strengths and limitations of each type of estimate also are discussed.
