A 33-year-old lady presents with pelvic pain, fever and purulent vaginal discharge

A 33-year-old lady presents with pelvic pain, fever and purulent vaginal discharge over the past 2 days. She is concerned it could be related to or affect her job as an escort. As part of her occupation, she has sexual encounters with different partners regularly. Protection, while encouraged, is frequently inadequate. Her last menstrual period was 3 weeks ago, and she has never had a sexually transmitted infection before. A pelvic examination found cervical motion tenderness and the necessary swabs were taken.
