Increasing Incidence of Gonorrhea at an Urban STI Clinic in the United States
Medical record data was extracted from a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic in Providence, Rhode Island to characterize trends in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) infection and explore risk factors. Of 16,601 clinical encounters, 6% (n=991) tested GC positive: 5.28 GC case rate (per 100 encounters) in the first two years of data collection (2015-2016) and 7.04 in the last two years (2020-2021). Analysis suggested a single linear trend line over time (p<.05). Overall, in more recent years, patients were older and more like to identify as male, Black, and Hispanic/Latino, as well as to have reported a previous STI, current symptoms, and specific risk behaviors. GC-positive patients in 2020-2021 were older and more like to identify as female and Black compared to 2015-2016. Lower rates of condom use were especially salient among female patients. These findings may reflect GC trends in the community.
