The unadjusted prevalence ratio of drug use in trans women was PR: 9.0 (95%CI: 1.4-57.5). people who use drugs have a 1.9 times higher prevalence of STI diagnosis, and a 2.4 times higher prevalence of partners compared to non-users; (4) Conclusions: Substance use was associated with a higher STI prevalence ratio and number of sexual partners. |
