Prevalence and treatment of sexually transmitted infections in men followed by urologists in Germany - a cross sectional study with 347,090 men.

Conclusions: Overall, approximately 1.25% of men followed in urology practices in Germany between 2013 and 2015 were diagnosed with at least one STI. Further research is needed to gain a better understanding of the factors potentially associated with the risk of being diagnosed with STI in this setting in Germany. Moreover, there is a need for enabling higher rates of diagnosis and thus treatment of infected persons. PMID: 30250416 [PubMed - in process]
