Cross-sectional study reports 12.2% STI prevalence in pregnant women, highlighting inadequate antenatal care screenings.

Of the 743 women, 91 (12.2%) were diagnosed with at least one STI, with 62.6% being asymptomatic, emphasizing overlooked infections.
Prevalence rates were associated with social, economic, and biological risk factors, pinpointing high-risk groups for targeted interventions.
Cross-sectional study utilized routine diagnostic methods like Gram stain for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and wet mount for Trichomonas vaginalis.
Findings underscore the need for improved laboratory-based screening in antenatal care to address STIs effectively.
