Methods
This was a retrospective follow-up analysis of female and male HIV-infected patients at a large urban HIV clinic with at least one diagnosis of T. vaginalis based on nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) results. Re-infection was defined as having at least 2 positive T. vaginalis testing results during the study timeframe (August 2014-March 2016), including a positive result after metronidazole was prescribed for a first episode of infection and/or a positive result after an interval negative result following a first episode of infection. Time to first episode of T. vaginalis re-infection was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves while the association of various predictors was evaluated by univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards analyses.
