Abstract

Screening young adults who are sexually active for genital Chlamydia trachomatisinfection is promoted in several high-income countries, but its effectiveness at the population level is highly debated. We aimed to investigate the effects of opportunistic chlamydia testing in primary care on the estimated chlamydia prevalence in the population aged 16–29 years in Australia.
