Perceived Monogamy and Type of Clinic as Barriers to Seeking Care for Suspected STD or HIV Infection: Results From a Brief Survey of Low-Income Women Attending Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Clinics in Missouri

Article Abstract:

The authors determined that many low-income women do not seek care for sexually transmitted diseases. In Missouri, where the study was done, the primary reason was to avoid implications of not being properly monogamous. A similar reason was preference of a multiple-purpose medical clinic rather than one identified with sexually transmitted diseases.
