Virtually unknown sexually transmitted diseases are common in black, Asian and other minority women, according to new studies.

Although it is more common than other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, the Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) virus is poorly understood by most people.

However, new studies show that it is more common in ethnic minority women and can manifest with common or asymptomatic symptoms.

Untreated conditions can have serious consequences and increase the likelihood of HIV infection and pregnancy complications. Therefore, it is important to be aware of this.

A study presented by Preventx at the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV Annual Conference found that television viewing is also widespread among heterosexuals. They studied 8,676 women from six UK municipal areas who were tested for distant infections.

Women of color were the hardest hit, but black women were particularly at risk.

In one study, they found that 5.2% of Black, Caribbean and African women who had vaginal discharge (a common symptom of infection) tested positive on television.

For all other women, the risk of developing and detecting signs of disease is 3.5%, and Caucasian women face a low chance of 3.4%.

Even asymptomatic black women were more likely to have VT and were twice as positive as white women. This number was eight times higher for black women and twice as high for white women.

However, it may not be a genetic difference that spreads this condition to women of color more than white women; may be related to the level of social deprivation.

For the first time, scientists also discussed the link between poverty and television performance.

They found that the highest levels of television were seen in vulnerable areas. There, 5.9% of women tested positive on television in the most vulnerable areas (where more women of color live). In wealthy areas, this figure is 1.4%.

Commenting on this study, Dr. John White of Preventx Medical Director and Physician Sexual Health said: I know from patients receiving my treatment that this can also cause a lot of mental anguish in infected people.

“In particular, women can continue to be infected for years, and women’s unpleasant symptoms are often misdiagnosed or denied. If left untreated, TV infects communities with HIV at risk. It also increases the chances of become pregnant and can cause complications of pregnancy

Scientists want more research and testing to be done to understand and treat the condition.

Dr White added: “Our new data shows a surprisingly high positive rate, which has a greater impact in some communities than others. TV is easy to diagnose with remote NAAT testing, so this infection. It is important to perform Higher quality TV tests in the UK to Learn more about the expansion.

“This allows us to address the effects of undiagnosed TV and reduce broadcasts.”

What is a television? What are the symptoms?

Television can affect both men and women. NHS trichomoniasis symptoms usually develop within a month of infection, according to the report. However, half of people are asymptomatic (although the infection can be passed on to others).

The symptoms of trichomoniasis are similar to those of many other sexually transmitted diseases and can be difficult to diagnose.
