But from STI survey 2011, it was still high in Yangon 15% (44/300)
In MDY, there is only 0.3% (2/300)

5. Findings from Survey 2011 FSW
In both regions prevalence of STI infection was higher than presentation of signs or a history of symptoms
E.g. Most FSW in Yangon had gonorrheal and chlamydial infections, but urethral discharge was seen in only 3% (9 out of 302).
more than half of FSW 56% participants in Yangon had syphilis infection but less than a third had signs or a history of ulcers or sores
