ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and how they may affect fertility in young women. The researchers want to understand how common these infections are among women aged 18 to 22 and explore how the bacteria in the female genital tract might influence fertility. By gathering this information, they hope to learn more about how STIs could impact women’s ability to have children.

To participate in this study, women must be between 18 and 22 years old and able to give their consent to join. It's important to note that women who are currently pregnant, have had sterilization (a procedure to prevent pregnancy), or are unable to provide informed consent cannot take part in the trial. Participants can expect to be involved in a long-term study, where they will share information about their health and any STIs they may have. This research is important, as it aims to improve our understanding of STIs and fertility, ultimately helping to support women's health.
