Abstract
- The article discusses a nationwide study on Chlamydia trachomatis infections and genotypes among men who have sex with men in China. The study found an overall CT prevalence of 14.8%, with a higher prevalence in anorectal samples compared to urethral or oropharyngeal samples. Factors associated with a higher probability of CT infection included age, number of male sex partners, HIV status, Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, and receptive anal role in sexual intercourse. The study highlights the need for chlamydia screening, especially rectal testing, and emphasizes the importance of tailored interventions for high-risk MSM populations. [Extracted from the article]
