The use of Medicaid data provides insight into the screening and treatment practices for STIs (Chlamydia (CT), Gonorrhea (GC) and all stages of Syphilis, including instances of congenital syphilis) among Medicaid eligible clients.

In addition, STI treatment data will be provided in conjunction with STI screening data in aggregate form as agreed upon by both DPHE and HCPF. These data shall be provided on a quarterly basis, utilizing table shell structures provided by the DPHE. 4.2.3.3.

Sexually Transmitted Infections. Untreated STIs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, can result in pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and other infections damaging to the reproductive system (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015c). Furthermore, women often cannot detect any symptoms when they have either of these two infections (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015c). Other consequences of STI infections include mother to child transmission of several STIs (e.g., syphilis), cervical cancer, increased susceptibility to further STI infection, and multi- drug resistant gonorrhea (World Health Organization, n.d.). There is very little information about the prevalence of STIs in populations with SMI (Xxxxxx et al., 2016). However, several studies indicate that women with SMI are at higher risk than the general population of acquiring HIV, Hepatitis B, and Xxxxxxxxx C (Xxxxxx et al., 2016; XxXxxxxx et al., 2002; Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2001). Unfortunately, HIV testing is not routine in most mental health settings (Xxxx & Xxxxx, 2009). A meta-analysis of HIV infections in psychiatric settings, found that that the prevalence of HIV amongst patients with SMI (6.9%) was higher than the national average (0.4% at the time of the review) (XxXxxxxx et al., 2002). A more recent systematic review and meta analysis, found a pooled a similar prevalence of HIV in patients with SMI in the US of 6.0 percent (95% CI 4.3-8.3) (Xxxxxx et al., 2015). Xxxxxxxx et al (2002) concluded that, due to the high rates of HIV infection, STDs, sex, and drug use in persons living with SMI, clinicians in psychiatric settings are in a unique position to ensure that their patients connect with the appropriate resources for prevention, risk assessment, and treatment. Concerning patterns of low STI testing rates emerged in a study of adult women with SMI at the Grady Behavioral Outpatient Center (Bougrab, Xxxxxx, Ford, Girod, & Xxxxxx, 2015).
