QuickStats: Percentage of Females Aged 15--44 Years Ever Treated
for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), by Selected Characteristics ---
National Survey of Family Growth, United States, 2002
In 2002, the percentage of females aged 15--44 years reporting that they had ever been treated for PID varied by age at
first vaginal intercourse and by number of male sex partners in the preceding 12 months. Higher prevalence of PID treatment
was reported among females who had their first vaginal intercourse at younger ages, particularly <15 years, and among those
who had greater numbers of male sex partners in the preceding 12 months.
