However, the epidemiology of infection in these populations is not well established. To determine the prevalence of\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Mycoplasma genitalium<\/jats:named-content>\n            and its association with cervical cytology and other correlates, we recruited 350 female sex workers (FSW) who were 18 to 50 years old in Nairobi, Kenya, for a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was administered at baseline to obtain information on sociodemographics and sexual behaviors. Women underwent a pelvic exam, during which a physician collected cervical-exfoliation samples for conventional cytology and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing. Samples were tested for\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">M. genitalium<\/jats:named-content>\n            and other STI organisms (\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Chlamydia trachomatis<\/jats:named-content>\n            ,\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/jats:named-content>\n            ,\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Trichomonas vaginalis<\/jats:named-content>\n            ) and the E6\/E7 mRNA of human papillomavirus (HPV) by Aptima nucleic amplification assays. The prevalence of\n            <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">M. genitalium<\/jats:named-content>\n            was 12.9%.
