Introduction: RTIs though perceived as a neglected problem affecting health and social well-being of women, is not so uncommon. Untreated infections can lead to pelvic inflammatory diseases, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, cervical cancer, foetal loss or infant health complications, with a threefold to fivefold increase in risk of HIV acquisition and transmission. Rise in prevalence of RTIs goes hand in hand with high risk behaviour and further blown up by inapt choice of contraception. Study aimed to estimate prevalence of RTIs and explore high risk behaviour and choice of methods of contraception amongst RTI patients.
