Info

The reason for this choice was convenience of clinic location (32%), followed by quality of services (26%) and cost of services (12%). Confidentiality or friendliness of the staff was rarely mentioned as a reason for the choice. Significantly more men than women had ever been treated for an STI. For both genders, the healthcare-seeking behavior related to STI was different from that related to general health problems. Public health facilities and mission hospitals were rarely visited for an STI episode. Men attended private clinics significantly more often with an STI than with general health problems.
