Chlamydia: Who Should be Tested?
- Abstract
The article presents several factors necessarily effective as a screening tool for detecting young women at high risk for chlamydia. About six percent of a group of 1,320 sexually active college women tested positive for chlamydia during the course of routine immunoassay screening, but young women with symptoms of infection or gynecologic problems were not much more likely to be infected (seven percent) than those making a routine visit to the clinic (five percent). The researchers concluded that signs, symptoms, history and demographic variables. . . are insufficient to predict infection accurately.
