influence the use of condoms to prevent STD acquisition among
inner-city women at high risk for STD infection. In addition, the
effect of past and/or current STD infection on a woman's knowledge of
the mechanism of STD acquisition and subsequent use of a condom to
prevent STD infection was explored. We utilized three inner-city
clinics offering family planning or gynecologic care located in
Brooklyn, New York. Our study linked clinical findings regarding
current infection with chlamydia or Trichomonas vaginalis. One thousand
four hundred and four sexually active black and Hispanic women
participated in the study. A past history of STD (37%) or current
infection (29%) was recorded for 54% of the study population (12% were
positive for both past and current infection). On average, only 60% of I:
women who reported prior treatment for STD infection reported receiving
any information regarding prevention of re-infection during the course
of treatment. Depending on the specific STD, from 6.8% to 42.9% of
DE women reporting prior treatment for an STD did not know the disease
