A cross-sectional study was conducted among truck drivers in Tongling of Anhui Province. A total of 550 truck drivers were interviewed with a structured questionnaire, and blood samples were collected and tested for HIV, syphilis, and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2), and urine specimens for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Prevalence was 10.6% for C. trachomatis and 8.1% for N. gonorrhoeae. Antibodies for syphilis were found in 0.7% and for HSV-2 in 4.4%, and none was positive for HIV. About 92 (17.4%) truck drivers had at least one STI. There was no statistically significant association between sociodemographic, occupation or behavioural variables and the presence of a positive test for any STI. Our study suggests a high prevalence of STIs, particularly bacterial infections, among the truck drivers, indicating the need for health education, behavioural change interventions and STI care services in this population. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/095646206776790141","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,23]],"date-time":"2006-04-23T23:19:16Z","timestamp":1145834356000},"page":"304-308","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Prevalence of sexually transmitted infections among long-distance truck drivers in Tongling, China"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Xiang-Sheng","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for STD Control, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College Institute of Dermatology, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yue-Ping","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for STD Control, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College Institute of Dermatology, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiang-Dong","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for STD Control, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College Institute of Dermatology, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guo-Jun","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for STD Control, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College Institute of Dermatology, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Ying","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tongling Institute of Dermatology, Tongling, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gilles","family":"Poumerol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mei-Qin","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for STD Control, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College Institute of Dermatology, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shou-Qiang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tongling Institute of Dermatology, Tongling, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guo-Cheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for STD Control, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College Institute of Dermatology, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,1]]},"container-title":["International Journal of STD &amp; AIDS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/095646206776790141","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/095646206776790141","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T00:34:43Z","timestamp":1740875683000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/095646206776790141"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/095646206776790141"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/095646206776790141","relation":{},"ISSN":["0956-4624","1758-1052"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0956-4624","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1052","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,1]]}}}
