INTRODUCTION: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend considering screening asymptomatic women for trichomonas in high-prevalence settings. Whether urban abortion clinics constitute such a setting is unknown.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We offered trichomonas screening to patients presenting for abortion from October 2018 to February 2019 as a practice improvement and conducted a chart review.
RESULTS: Ninety-two percent (593/644) of patients underwent testing. Trichomonas prevalence was 10.0% (95% CI 7.7-12.6). Ninety five percent of patients diagnosed were treated. Testing only symptomatic patients would have missed 98% of infections.
CONCLUSIONS: Trichomonas was highly prevalent, and universal testing and treatment was feasible in an urban abortion clinic.
