    <abstract locale="en_US">The main objective of this study is to find the prevalence, level of knowledge, and mode of transmission of reproductive tract infection (RTI)/sexually transmitted infection (STI) among evermarried females in Uttar Pradesh. To study the various socio-economic and demographic factors responsible for RTI/STI among married females. This study is based on data extracted from District Level Health Survey III in Uttar Pradesh for ever-married females age 15-49 years. RTI/STI prevalence in UP is 29%. Most common symptom of RTI/STI is unusual vaginal discharge. Most of the RTI/STI infected females sought treatment in the private medical sector. The main source of information about RTI/STI is relatives/friends. 60% women do not know any mode of transmission of RTI/STI among those who have heard of RTI/STI.</abstract>
