Vaginal Infections in Haitian Immigrant Women Living in Miami, Florida.
OBJECTIVE: To characterize vulvovaginal candidiasis (VC), trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and bacterial vaginosis (BV) among Haitian women living in Miami to identify contributing factors to cervical cancer disparity in this population.
METHODS: Using a CBPR framework, 246 Haitian women (ages 21-65) were recruited. Self-collected cervical cytology specimens were analyzed for VC, TV, and BV.
RESULTS: The proportion of participants with VC, TV, and BV, were 7.3%, 9.3%, and 19.9%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Haitian women may have a higher prevalence of TV than the general U.S. population, which may increase susceptibility to HPV, the primary cause of cervical cancer.
