It’s hard to say, as there isn’t as much data on Mgen compared to other STIs. Dr Patel says Mgen is relatively common despite being widely unheard of. Research from 2018 estimated that 2.3% of women and 1.1% of men between 21 and 23 years old had Mgen. The numbers are smaller across older age groups. These stats show it is much less common than, say, chlamydia, which affects 4% of women worldwide aged 15 to 49. What makes this STI so prevalent is its ability to go undetected. In the US, one study says 1 to 4% of the population has Mgen.
