ABSTRACT
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) represent a major public health challenge worldwide, serving as a significant source of morbidity and mortality.[1] The most commonly found infections are Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG). Women with multiple partners are a particularly vulnerable subpopulation to STIs, as their sexual behavior increases the risk of exposure to these infections.[2] In Morocco, as in many other countries, STIs remain a pressing public health issue. However, the extent and specific prevalence of these infections among women with multiple partners remain largely unknown. This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological situation of CT, NG, and MG in this specific population, and ultimately, to guide public health policies aimed at preventing, screening, and treating these infections effectively.
