Abstract
Abstract: We evaluated the proportion of patients with trichomoniasis and chlamydial infections who received recommended versus nonrecommended 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 (adjusted odds ratio, 2.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-2.9).
