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).
