Prevalence of anorectal Chlamydia Trachomatis infection in asymptomatic urogenital Chlamydia Trachomatis positive women who present to regional North Queensland Sexual Health Services.

Role

Principal Investigator

Description

This study will investigate and report the rates of confirmed anorectal chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection in women who attend one of two regional North Queensland sexual health services (SHS). The research will focus on women who are confirmed to have urogenital CT infection following routine testing at the SHS, but they report no symptoms of CT prior to testing, and have not participated in any anal sexual contact in the previous six months. Findings have potential to influence future testing and management guidelines for management of CT in this group of women.
