| dc.description.abstract | Data from a randomized trial of oral periodic presumptive
treatment (PPT) to reduce vaginal infections were analyzed
to assess the effect of the intervention on a healthy vaginal
environment (normal flora confirmed by Gram stain with no
candidiasis or trichomoniasis). The incidence of a healthy
vaginal environment was 608 cases per 100 person-years in
the intervention arm and 454 cases per 100 person-years in
the placebo arm (hazard ratio [HR], 1.36; 95% confidence
interval [CI], 1.17–1.58). Sustained vaginal health (healthy
vaginal environment for R3 consecutive visits) was also
more frequent in the intervention arm (HR, 1.69; 95% CI,
1.23–2.33). PPT is effective at establishing and sustaining
a healthy vaginal environment. | en |
