The M-PCR assay identified all STIs tested for and surprisingly, occurred association between the control and STIs. This association was probably caused by excellent HIV infection control and regular monitoring in these women established by public health strategies in Brazil to combat HIV\/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Studies using this M-PCR in different populations may help to better elucidate the roles of STIs in several conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0315","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,1]],"date-time":"2013-10-01T06:03:30Z","timestamp":1380607410000},"page":"1199-1202","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Simultaneous Detection of Seven Sexually Transmitted Agents in Human Immunodeficiency Virus\u2013Infected Brazilian Women by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"Raquel P.","family":"Souza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9 L.
