“…The consumption of antimicrobials active against N. gonorrhoeae doubled in Greenland between 1964 and 1970. 27 The estimated number of gonococcal treatments given per unmarried adult per year in the whole of Greenland increased from 1.1 to 1.7 during the intervention ( p < .01). 24 Changes in penicillin susceptibility were assessed in 4023 isolates of N. gonorrhoeae from 1964 to 1970.…”

Background Selective mass treatment of STIs may lead to a durable reduction in the prevalence of STIs or a temporary reduction associated with an increased probability of antimicrobial resistance emerging. Methods We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for studies evaluating the impact of mass STI treatment on the long-term prevalence of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and chancroid. The primary outcomes were the long term (≥3 months post the intervention) impact of the intervention on prevalence/incidence of the STI and on antimicrobial resistance. Results Our search yielded 269 studies, of which 4 met the inclusion criteria. With the exception of the Carletonville study, where this was not assessed, three of the four studies found that intensive STI treatment was associated with a reduced prevalence of the targeted STI during or immediately after the intervention. In all four studies, there was no evidence that the intense treatment had a long-term effect on prevalence. In the only study where this was assessed, the intensive use of penicillin to reduce gonococcal prevalence was associated with the emergence of reduced susceptibility to penicillin in N. gonorrhoeae. Conclusion The available evidence suggests that mass treatment of chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis in high prevalence populations is only associated with a temporary reduction in the prevalence of these infections and may select for antimicrobial resistance.

A gonorrhea control program initiated in 1967 in registered female sex workers (FSWs) in the Philippines involved weekly endocervical cultures for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, with treatment of FSWs found infected or named as contacts by US Navy servicemen. Gonorrhea prevalence in FSWs in Olongapo city fell from 11.9% to 4.0% within 4 months, and gonorrhea incidence in servicemen at nearby Subic Bay fell by half. Selective mass treatment (SMT) with oral ampicillin-probenecid or tetracycline was then given to registered FSWs in an attempt to further reduce gonorrhea rates. N. gonorrhoeae was isolated from 105 (4.0%) of 2640 FSWs before SMT and from 43 (1.6%) 1 week later (P < .001). However, gonorrhea incidence among servicemen fell no lower, and gonorrhea prevalence in FSWs quickly returned to higher levels. Thus, after implementation of weekly screening and treatment of FSWs found infected or named as contacts, SMT of FSWs (without increasing condom use or treating regular partners) contributed nothing further to gonorrhea control.
