Estimates of the global prevalence and incidence of these infections are limited by quantity and quality of data available from the different regions of the world and will require more well designed epidemiological studies on the prevalence and duration of infection.

It is suggested that women at low risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections have little increase in the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease from use of an IUD, whereas previously and never-married women using IUDs had relative risk estimates of 1.8 and 2.6.

Six controlled epidemiologic studies of the association between intrauterine device (IUD) use and development of acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are reviewed and there is strong evidence that the association is one of cause and effect.

Historical review of IUDs states that the first mention of intrauterine pessaries in ancient medicine occurs in the Hippocratic writings on "Diseases of Women" and there is a voluminous literature on intrauterines in the nineteenth-century literature.

The low population attributable risks found in this study suggest that behaviour change messages directed to women, particularly if they are married have a low potential for preventing STDs.

The use of flow charts which adds a risk assessment to the syndromic approach for diagnosing cervical infections is feasible, however, the performances of such flow charts need to be improved before being used routinely.

The STD Diagnostics Initiative has sought to identify sensitive, specific, simple, stable, and inexpensive means of diagnosing STDs and believes that collaboration with industry should remove most of the constraints to product development and market penetration that exist in developing countries.
